Sweet Truck! Nothing like a diesel for power & towing. They are right "Spunky" too That 2.5" receiver had me scratching my head first time on mine (2013 F-250 6.7L). No one mentioned it when buying the truck, but i found out first time puttin a hitch to use lol. Im guessing it uses the DEF also? Good luck with your new ride. Ray

Thanks! Me too! My Chevy had a standard 2" receiver but the old man bought a 2011 Chevy 2500 with the Duramax and its 2.5" receiver had us baffled too. I figured I'd forego the adapter and just get a nice 2.5" hitch. It does use the DEF fluid and 900ft-lbs gets it down the road pretty good.

CraigC, I've also got a Dodge diesel with the airbag adjustable rear end & I've got the same aluminum adjustable hitch you show. One of my son's gave me the hitch last winter for Christmas, its pretty handy, although I do take it off when not using it, don't want some sticky fingered pothead "borrowing" it when I'm not looking. My truck in a 3500 series & I'm sure I could pull Fermin, Hoover & Max behind my 5th wheel with ease, all the way to Arizona, just saying! Great looking truck you got there!

I have a 2016 Outdoorsman Edition. Has the dealer installed gooseneck hitch and rigged up to use a fifth wheel if I want. Bed is wired for plug in. It's a 4x4 and an absolute beast! Nice looking truck Craig!

Decided to trade in my `04 Chevy 2500HD for a new `16 Dodge 2500. This time I went all out with the Laramie Longhorn package, 6.7 Cummins diesel and black/cattle tan interior. I also got the airbag rear suspension that automatically levels itself according to load. It usually sits ass high but I've got the airbags set at a lower setting which is closer to level. My plan is to install a 2" leveling kit in the front, 20" wheels with 35" tires and probably a tonneau cover. So far pretty impressed with the Weigh Safe adjustable hitch I got yesterday. It's all aluminum and stainless, with a 2.5" shank and an adjustable drop to 6" or rise to 7" and it actually has a built-in tongue weight scale. I'm really happy with it and hardly even miss the Chevy I drove for 12yrs. Very nice! I could get used to that! 900 lb-ft of torque, correct?

My other truck 76 F-250 4x4 lets you know you hit EVERY Pebble on the road. Hahahaa Enjoy buddy... BB44 Oh it rides great! Better than most half tons from the old days. The standard coil spring 2500's ride really good too. CraigC, I've also got a Dodge diesel with the airbag adjustable rear end & I've got the same aluminum adjustable hitch you show. One of my son's gave me the hitch last winter for Christmas, its pretty handy, although I do take it off when not using it, don't want some sticky fingered pothead "borrowing" it when I'm not looking. My truck in a 3500 series & I'm sure I could pull Fermin, Hoover & Max behind my 5th wheel with ease, all the way to Arizona, just saying! Great looking truck you got there! Dick Thanks! I drove several 3500 duallys and they were impressive too. Every one rode better than my Chevy. Shocking for solid front axle trucks. I decided not to install my old toolbox in the new truck so the hitch will probably go in the bed once I get all that ironed out. I usually carry a tool bag and recovery equipment and I haven't quite decided how I'm going to do it with the new one. I was disappointed with the new GM trucks in 2015 but Dodge makes a really good looking truck! The interiors and electronics are great too. How do you like the airbags? I have a 2016 Outdoorsman Edition. Has the dealer installed gooseneck hitch and rigged up to use a fifth wheel if I want. Bed is wired for plug in. It's a 4x4 and an absolute beast! Nice looking truck Craig! Mine's rigged for a fifth wheel too. Has the five attachment points and the plug in the bed. Nice truck. My wife final convince me to get rid of my 1995 ford. I bought my first Dodge. That's a great looking truck! I've been a Chevy man all my life from my very first 25yrs ago. GM kinda lost me with the 2015 redesign. I started lusting after Dodge/Chrysler cars a few years ago and I ended up buying my first car two years ago, a Charger R/T. I love the car and as you can see, fell in love with their trucks too! We took a new Charger 392 for a spin and it has such a great engine and erotic exhaust note, I might have to trade up in a year or two. Now if I can just talk the wife into trading her GMC Acadia Denali for a Durango we'll be a Dodge household. Very nice! I could get used to that! 900 lb-ft of torque, correct? Yes!!!

Thanks I am real happy with it so far. I did not buy the 900ft-lb version but I got this. Old habits die hard.
