Yes. The hitch will fit vehicles with or without a vibration dampener.
No. The installation notes explicitly state no drilling is required.

Yes. The install notes recommend lowering the spare tire for ease of installation.
All 5/8" fasteners must be torqued to 210 lb.-ft. This includes the hex bolts, carriage bolts, and flange nuts used throughout the installation.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the gross load capacity is 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight. However, do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
When used as a weight-distribution hitch, the gross load capacity is 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight. However, do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch weight is 54 lbs.
The estimated install time is 30 minutes.
The hitch includes: 2 pieces of 5/8" fishwire, 5 bolts (5/8-11 UNC, Grade 8, zinc-plated), 5 square hole spacers (0.375 x 1.25 x 2.50"), 2 hex cap screws (5/8-11 UNC, 1-1/2", Grade 8), 2 flat washers (5/8", zinc-plated), and 7 serrated flange nuts (5/8-11 UNC, Grade 8, zinc-plated).
In Step 2, raise the hitch into position and insert 5/8" hex bolts and washers through the factory chain loop holes and holes in the top plate of the hitch. Secure with 5/8" flange nuts and finger tighten initially. Final torque to 210 lb.-ft. is applied in Step 5.
Fishwire hardwire installation (Step 4) means using the included 5/8" fishwire to pull the carriage bolts and spacers through the square access holes in the frame rails. The bolts are pulled through the holes in the frame and out through the hitch side plate mounting holes, then secured with 5/8" flange nuts.
In Step 3, the 5/8" carriage bolt and spacer are installed into the rearmost hole on the passenger side frame rail and hitch side plate. This bolt is secured with a 5/8" flange nut and finger tightened initially, then torqued to 210 lb.-ft. in Step 5.
Yes. Steps 2 and 3 specify finger tightening the 5/8" flange nuts initially. All fasteners are then torqued to 210 lb.-ft. in Step 5 after the hitch is fully positioned.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing the hanger from the frame. 2. Raise the hitch and insert 5/8" hex bolts and washers through factory chain loop holes and hitch top plate holes; secure with flange nuts and finger tighten. 3. Install the 5/8" carriage bolt and spacer into the rearmost hole on the passenger side frame rail and hitch side plate; secure with flange nut and finger tighten. 4. Fishwire the remaining 5/8" carriage bolts and spacers through square access holes in the frame rails, pull through, and secure with flange nuts. 5. Torque all 5/8" fasteners to 210 lb.-ft. 6. Reinstall the exhaust.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the Curt 13357 has a weight-carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight (or 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight as a weight-distribution hitch), your Ford F-150's manufacturer specifications take precedence.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and prevent loosening due to vibration during towing.
