For a hitch that can handle that much weight I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810. This is a Class V hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 20,000 lbs and max tongue weight of 2,700 lbs. However, if you have a spare tire 20" or larger it will not be able to be stored in the original location under the truck. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to find the towing capacity for your F-350. The most the 2006 can tow is 15,000 lbs, but for some models the capacity is lower.
