Question:
I have a 2026 F-250 with a factory 2-1/2" hitch receiver. Will this ball mount fit it and how much capacity does it have?

It sure will Steve and congrats on the new truck! The Fastway Flash Force Adjustable 2-Ball Mount item # FA43FR will indeed fit the 2-1/2" receiver on your factory F-250's hitch.
The Fastway Flash Force Adjustable 2-Ball Mount item # FA43FR has a 8,000 lbs towing capacity with the 2" hitch ball and a 18,000 lbs towing capacity with the 2-5/16" one. This ball mount adjusts in 1" increments to give you up to a 4-1/2" drop or rise to ensure your trailer's coupler is level.
We also have the Fastway Flash Force Adjustable 2-Ball Mount item # FA63FR that has the same capacities and fits a 2-1/2" hitch, however this one provides up to a 7-1/2" drop or rise. It's great for trailer's that sit lower to the ground or if you plan on putting taller tires on your F-250.
These ball mounts also have the nice perk of being able to be rotated to store the hitch balls underneath your truck. If you've ever hit your shin on a trailer hitch then this feature will be one you definitely appreciate.
You'll also want to pick up the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98881. It'll make sure your new ball mount doesn't walk away when you park your truck.
I recommend using our etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e55YV. It's going to firmly attach to the lip of your F-250's 2-1/2" receiver and prevent any movement of your ball mount's shank.
What kind of trailers are you going to be pulling with your new truck? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thanks! Just what I needed to know. I think I'll go with the taller one. The hitch is pretty far off the ground on the Tremor models.
