Drawtite receiver
What's the consensus of these receivers? Ford went with it for my install. Looks good and secure so hopefully it will start solid. Seems like good and bad out there on the web

Drawtite is one of the brands of Cequent Group, which is part of Horizon Global. Cequent also sells Reese hitches and Tekonsha trailer brake controllers. So Drawtite receivers are as good as it gets.

If your tow vehicle is a SuperDuty, then they did good. But if you have a late-model F-150, then whoever "Ford" is screwed up. They should have replaced part of the frame of the rear bumper with the OEM Ford receiver. About the same cost, but the OEM receiver looks "factory" while the Drawtite hanging down below the rear bumper looks hung on.

I'll take pics in a bit, looks good to me and hangs down like the factory does I believe.

Yea, thought so too. They had to trim a bit of plastic off the hitch plastic plug so it's on up there. Hopefully this one won't crack.
