Thanks for the information Gil! The best ball mount options for your 2022 Ford F-350 duallys 3" factory hitch are the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS30040B or the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BWTS30049B. These ball mounts have a 21,000 lbs capacity so they'll be just as much overkill as your truck! They provide up to a 7.5" drop and 7" rise so you can ensure your truck is as level as possible with your trailer.
B&W makes the best towing parts in the industry and the Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mounts item # BWTS30040B and item # BWTS30049B are great examples of them. These ball mounts are backed by a Lifetime warranty and are both e-coated and powder coated to ensure there's no rust or corrosion. The stow away feature is super convent as well. It allows you to rotate and tuck the entire ball assembly underneath your F-350 when you are not towing. This gives you extra space when parking and you don't have to worry about taking out your shin when you're walking behind your truck.
Out of these two, I recommend going with the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BWTS30049B. The cost difference isn't much and you never know you may need the ability some day to tow a trailer with a 1-7/8" hitch ball.
If your F-350 came with the 2-1/2" receiver, you'll need the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BWTS20049B. It's got a lower maximum towing capacity at 18,000 lbs, but other than that it has the same great features as the ones that fit a 3" hitch.
What kind of travel trailer do you have and what kind of trips do you have planned?

So, my truck came with a 3" receiver unfortunately for me. We will be towing a 2026 Rockwood 301FKT. We are planning to take some long cross country trips and wasn't sure if I wanted to get a hitch with suspension in it or not.
