The factory installed hitch is great, it eliminated all of the chucking I had with my old hitch. Credit for that of course is due to Reese not Ford. The factory installed hitch is just a re-label of the Reese Signiture Series hitch, but I really like it.
As you can see from the picture, I have towed the camper 632.5 miles and on that trip I averaged 11.9 MPG, so fresh out of the box I'm getting 2+ mpg more with this truck than I did with the '09 F350. So far so good with the new engine.
I've had my DrawTite/Reese Signature 18K hitch in both my '05 F250 and the '09 F350 dually. I really like the way the floor of the bed is clear when the hitch is removed as it mounts directly to the frame, not in the bed (no rails to put up with). And it's very solid. Now if I could get that dash display installed in the '09 I'd really be happy!
