RETRUE 2.5" to 2" Hitch Adapter Reducer for Ford F250–F550 (2017–2025) — Forged Steel, Corrosion-Resistant

If your heavy-duty Ford truck has a 2-1/2" receiver but your ball mount or towing accessory requires a 2" shank, this adapter gives you a safe, low-profile solution. Engineered specifically for 2017–2025 F-Series Super Duty models, the reducer aligns length and pin-hole placement to minimize wobble and improve stability compared with generic adapters. Built from forged steel with an electrophoretic corrosion-resistant finish, it’s made to stand up to road salt, rain, and frequent use while keeping installation quick and tool-minimal.
