Trailer Hitch Solution that Could Fit 2014 Ford F-250 with Service Body
Updated 01/27/2026 | Published 01/08/2026
Question:
I have a 2014 Ford F250 that has a 696-50FJ Knapheide service bed with the recessed bumper. I need to know if this hitch will fit. Any information is appreciated.

Hey Ryan, it's hard to fit hitches to service body trucks because they are all different dimensions but our best option would be a multi fit hitch like the Draw Tite part # 41990-16 which would require you to weld the hitch to the frame. This comes with 16 inch drop brackets though to get down below the service body. Hopefully that would be enough. We also have a version with 7 inch drop brackets with part # 41990-07 too in case less of a drop would be better.

Hey Ryan, how did things turn out with the multi-fit hitch for your F250 service bed? Did the 16-inch drop brackets give you the clearance you needed below the bumper? Your update could make it easier for others working with similar service bodies.
