Ford OEM Hitch

OK - check this out. I sent the wife shopping for a hitch because I was out of town and we need it now. B&W - great hitch, lots of positives, but if I tow something off the back of the Redwood which is already at 17,222 lbs, I will max out the 20,000 B&W.

Reese makes 3 hitches for the Ford - an 18K, 25K, and a 26.5K (I assume to get the full tow capacity of the F450). Using accessories.ford.com/5th-wheel-kit.html she set out looking for a BC3Z-19D520-A and local pricing indicated $1,317.84. She bought it and it was waiting for me when I got home, but she said the number was changed. Actually, they sold her an FC3Z-19D520-A for 1,317.84, which is the larger hitch!





Pretty cool! Anyway, if your Dealer is a little cooperative, he will give you the online price. 3 that she called absolutely would not, and insisted cost to her would be $1,695.

She is definitely a keeper!

Congrats on the new truck! Did you end up going with the F350 or F450? The Ford factory hitch option is great. I like the fact that when I remove my hitch to haul something I no longer have the rails sitting on the bed floor to get in the way.

I did a 2014 F350 that was still in inventory. Saved a little bit, and its a huge improvement over what we had.

My dearest wife caught a cold, so we cancelled our weekend. Will get some pics next weekend

It was CRAZY in Denver today - kind of glad I didn't try to climb the hill (I-70) today.
