I have a 2002 F350 crewcab 4x4, with a receiver hitch and the big trailer plug harness (6 or 7 pin not sure). It has stock suspension and tires.
I want to pull a 30' travel trailer on the hitch.
1) How can I tell if the truck has a brake controller installed?
2) Can I use a regular hitch with the appropriate ball or will I need the hitch with the bars? I do not know the tongue weight, but the bumper says 500lb max. Is the max for the bumper only or the receiver hitch also.
SORRY FOR THE noob question....but this forum is the best place for me to get HONEST answers, without the sales hype.
