The Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks have a 3-inch hitch receiver. This change was made in the fourth generation of the F-250 and F-350 trucks, starting from 2017. The decision to go with a 3-inch receiver tube was made to ensure that the hitch is the toughest on the market for heavy-duty towing purposes.
Please note that the 2017 F-250 gassers come with a 2.5-inch receiver. However, the F-350 Super Duty trucks have a 3-inch receiver.
It’s important to mention that when purchasing a hitch for your Ford F-350, you should look for a hitch that is compatible with a 3-inch receiver. There are various options available on the market, including hitches with a weight carrying capacity of up to 20,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 2,700 pounds tongue weight.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
