Hitch Recommendation
Shorter pickup boxes (e.g. 5.5'/6.5' F-150,
6.75' F-250/350) provide less clearance
between the cab and 5th-wheel/gooseneck
trailer compared to “long box” pickups. When
selecting a trailer and tow vehicle, it’s critical
that this combination provide clearance
between the cab and tow vehicle for turns up
to and including 90 degrees. Failure to follow
this recommendation could result in the
trailer contacting the cab of the tow vehicle
during tight turns that are typical during low-
speed parking and turning maneuvers. This
contact could result in damage to the trailer
and tow vehicle.
Ford Motor Company offers a factory-installed
5th-wheel hitch prep package option for
Super Duty only. Optional 5th-wheel hitch
and gooseneck ball are also available. Go to
accessories.ford.com for more information.
The vehicle owner is responsible for obtaining the proper hitch ball, ball mounting,
weight-distributing equipment (i.e., equalizing arms and snap-up brackets, sway
control system) and other appropriate equipment to tow both the trailer and its
cargo load.
