Sorry if this has been covered. The receiver on the R1T is built tough and therefore lots of reinforcing metal. The standard pin I purchased (3”, I think - see pic) was about 1/8” too short.

The random one I picked up when I was towing a motorcycle trailer was long enough and worked fine.

Thx for the heads up. I need to check mine before I end up in a mad scramble when I need it.

This is going to save me a hassle. Winner for most helpful post of the day.

…of course your main competition was the 20th post about how the lighting can hold 2 extra big gulps.

Well, Ford did that on purpose so you don’t fall asleep from boredom while driving it.

Thanks for the suggestion, did it work?
They may not have it yet. I ordered the same and from the dimensions I suspect it'll be fine and in most cases used in the "drop" position to achieve proper tongue weight. BTW, the price through Costco is a steal versus most as $160 - $200 for the same setup.
