Hi Ken!
The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31078 will indeed fit your 2026 Ford F-250 King Ranch with the diesel engine. It will actually fit all versions of F-250 for this model year, so you are good to go.
You will need to trim the front air dam a bit for it to fit properly, but the instructions do go over exactly what you need to do in pretty clear detail. I included an install video we did on a 2021 for you to check out as well.
What are you wanting to use a front hitch for?

It fit perfectly on my 2020 F250. I had to cut the black spoiler on the bottom about 1”x1” square. I dis not have to drill any holes, etc

The cutting of the air dam details aren't the clearest. The hole on mine was close to the bottom of the air dam. To be more exact you may want to remove the air dam first, mount the receiver then hold it close to its mounting to mark and cut the hole. I didn't and the final hole was a descent width, but elongated top to bottom. Also like the others said the hitch pin is behind the air dam which can be a bit of a hassle depending what you are using it for. The hitch receiver is well made and robust, easy to install and the finished product looks good on my 2024 f250 with the exception of the larger than necessary cut out. My 2015 was similar except the pin hole was in front of the air dam and was easier to use. Good luck!!

One thing you might need to cut a much larger hole to allow you to insert and remove the pin. The hole is actually behind the air dam on my truck.
