Contact your authorized dealer or a reliable trailer dealer as soon as possible if you require assistance. Hitches WARNING: ON PICK-UP TRUCKS, the trailer hitch provided on this vehicle enhances collision protection for the fuel system. DO NOT REMOVE! Do not mount a ball hitch (sometimes referred to as a trailer ball hitch or trailer ball) to the bumper or use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle's bumper or attach to the axle. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that 10%-15% for conventional towing or 15%-25% fifth-wheel towing of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue. 265 2009 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
