Alon, are you able to match eTrailer.com's hitch prices?
The cheaper hitches are fine - they are all good to 6000# without weight distribution bars - which is something you WILL want anyway if you go over that weight. With WD, they are all good to 10000#. No need for a hitch that will do 10000# without WD, leave those to the Super Duty guys. A F-150 is gonna sag like a ***** with over 6000# without WD.

IMHO, if you ever think you'll be doing any trailering, buying the factory trailer tow package is a must. It gives you so much - heavy duty alternator, oil cooler, transmission cooler, frame mount hitch, brake controller pre-wiring and harness, and two different kinds of light plugs (4 pin and 8 pin), that it's a great way to set your truck up for towing. I also recommend the 5.4 L V8.
