Question:
New F-250 4x4 diesel on order. I am planning to purchase a weigh safe hitch. I have considered the 10inch because of the variety of trailers I tow. Will the 10inch drag off driveway, etc.?

The Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount w/ Built-In Scale - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise - 12.5K # WS10-2, # WS10-25 for 2-1/2 inch hitch, or # WS10-3 for 3 inch hitch receiver is a great choice for your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty. This adjustability will give you a great hitch for towing a variety of trailers level and has the built in tongue weight scale to help. I haven't heard anything about the drag off a driveway with a F-250 using this drop. The fact that it doesn't have the second ball underneath gives you an extra couple inches of clearance. This ball can also be stored behind the drop shank when not in use to protect your shins and give you a clean look.
I recommend using the Locking Dual Pin Assembly and Hitch Pin Set for 180 Hitch and Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mounts - Keyed Alike # WS06 to secure your investment.
I've attached a photo of this hitch on a similar truck to help.
