Hello Rob!
That's a super nice truck; that should be able to pull just about anything you put behind it. As long as it has the OEM size receiver (2-1/2") then you are good to use the Weigh Safe 180 Pro Hitch 2-Ball Mount # WS63RR you were looking at. I think you'll love the adjustability of it for different trailer heights - it's easy to adjust with the knob on the side and no tools are needed.
The 2-5/16" ball is rated for 25,000lbs while the 2" ball is rated for 10,000lbs which is plenty for a trailer with that size coupler. You aren't going to see a 20,000lb trailer with a 2" ball on it.
It looks like your truck is rated for 20,000lbs max towing capacity on the hitch itself (more when towing with 5th wheel or gooseneck), so you should be all good to go with this. I do recommend double checking with the owner's manual or a dealer. What are you planning to tow with the truck - a camper or boat etc.?

2026 F350 6.7 XL CC 4x4 SO Powerstroke work truck. This is great choice for a 1 ton diesel. Simple, easy to use and will help keep you legal because the 2 5/8" rating is more/higher than your truck can legally pull on the bumper hitch. I regularly tow 16k#-17k# without an issue.
