Ford F-150 (2015–Present) Hitch Installation
Vehicle Coverage: 2015–Present Ford F-150; exact trim, body configuration, and factory tow equipment are verified before scheduling
Receiver: Fixed 2-inch receiver
Hitch Rating: 6,000 lbs towing / 900 lbs tongue weight, subject to Ford's vehicle limits
Installation Time: Approximately 1–1.5 hours
For F-150 trucks without a factory receiver, the hitch mounts directly to the frame behind the bumper. The spare tire is lowered, enclosed-frame hardware is fishwired into position, and any nearby factory ground is temporarily moved and restored.
1. Lowering the Spare Tire
The spare is lowered to create clear access to the frame and bumper structure.
2. Protecting the Factory Ground and Wiring
Any ground cable or rear wiring near the mounting points is released and protected before hardware is installed.
3. Fishwiring the Frame Hardware
Specified spacers and structural bolts are guided through the frame openings and retained while the hitch is raised.
4. Installing and Torquing the Receiver
The hitch is centered, all frame fasteners are started, and the hardware is tightened in sequence to specification.
5. Restoring the Ground and Spare Tire
The factory ground is reattached, wiring clearance is checked, and the spare is raised after confirming it does not contact the hitch.
Finished Appearance: A fixed 2-inch receiver and safety-chain loops sit beneath the rear bumper; the structural cross tube remains close to the frame.
