User Review of Curt Receiver Adapter

I recently bought a new F350 to tow an RV when I retire. The new truck came with a 3 inch receiver. I have an all in one trailer and hitch for a 2" receiver, so I did a little research and settled on a Curt receiver adapter to keep using my 2" gear. 3" receiver to 2.5" stock receiver coupler or 2" stock receiver coupler. The item came quickly and was well packaged. It's well designed and has a lip built into each adapter to help line up the hole for the hitch pin perfectly (this has been a common complaint from users in reviews of other products). I have found the assembly to have quite a bit of play so I expect there will be some judder and noise after hitching and towing a cargo trailer. I'll post an update after lugging around with this setup a few times. Update August 29, 2021: I have used the adapter to tow my utility trailer about 800 miles. My utility trailer uses a 2" ball and 2" receiver shaft, so I had all three pieces of the adapter assembly installed. The trailer was loaded with a large remote funnel attached to the front of the body (in front of the axle). I did notice some clicks and noise from the receiver adapter, but it wasn't as bad as I feared. The rest of the adapter worked fine.
