I have a 2010 F350 with the factory 2.5" receiver. Tried Reese and Curt ball mounts and niether fit. Trailer shop called Reese Tech support and they say they they hear that 3-times a week. Sanded off the powder coat andi it's still .020 oversize. I can fly cut the ball mount but that's BS.

Anyone else had this problem?

Are there other brands that fit?

I've had this problem numerous times on the road. Keep it in the truck when not in use because only the Ford one will work. I try to keep a spre behind the seat now.

I have same truck. Just bought a "Titan" by Reese 18000# Ball mount w/ 3 1/2" rise. 2 5/16" Ball. I believe the part # was 45323 but double check I'm going by memory I don't have it in front of me. I'm wondering about a pin that locks. I'm sure someone makes one for the 2.5" receiver.

So Ford makes ball mounts?

That's what I worried about, being on the road and needing one.

Thanks, I'll check that #.

Personally I would rip that hitch off and take it to a recycler.

Spend a few bucks and get a real hitch that can actually carry some weight and not fall apart.

Check out a Reese or a Putnam.
