Question:
I have a 2020 Ford F450. I have a factory installed hitch rated a 24,500. I have a Lance Truck Camper 1172 on the truck. I would like to Car Dolly Tow a Toyota Sienna. What would you recommend as an hitch extension set up in order to Dolly tow the Sienna. The camper extends at least 48 beyond the truck hitch. Thank You

Appreciate you reaching out George, happy to help!
With your Lance 1172 extending approximately 48" beyond the rear of your F-450, you'll need a hitch extension system that can safely handle the combined weight of the Toyota Sienna and car dolly. Since the total towed weight will likely exceed 5,000 lbs, I would recommend upgrading from the factory receiver to the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum # TL76CR and pairing it with the TorkLift SuperTruss 48" Hitch Extension # TLE1548.
The SuperHitch Magnum is a dual-receiver hitch designed specifically for heavy towing with truck campers and the SuperTruss extension is engineered to maintain towing capacity while providing the clearance needed for long camper overhangs. This combination is a much better fit for your setup and is commonly used by truck camper owners towing vehicles, boats and trailers.
You'll also want to verify the weight of the car dolly you plan to use but based on the weight of a Toyota Sienna and dolly combination, the SuperHitch Magnum and 48" SuperTruss would be the setup I'd recommend.
What car dolly do you plan on using?
