Hey guys what is the best 2.5" receiver insert? I'm thinking about B&W? What is y'all's experience.[/QUOTE
I just bought a TITAN receiver bar, 2.5" from Ford Dealership. It was the only Ford approved accessory (if that means anything). I only bought it because it was the only local one I could find that was rated for 18k, and allowed pintle hook bolt on in three different configurations. It was not welded, but rather a one piece solid casting.
I also bought a receiver bar that was also 2.5" that either drops or raised approx 6" each way. It too was a solid casting, no welding and rated for 20k for a ball mount only. It too was the only Ford approved accessory offered for drawbar towing with a ball in 2.5".
I picked up a 20k 2 5/16" ball at another local store to complete the install.
