1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat towing capacity of Bumper mounted ball
 

The GVWR and everything is more than ample to pull the 2500 to 3000 LB
boat and trailer. What I'd like to know is if the Bumper mounted ball
is good enough or is a frame mounted hitch necessary. The trucks in
EXCELLENT condition, and I'm not concerned about the bumpers weld to
the frame of the truck.

thanks for help!
