Best 1998 Ford Explorer Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

This is an excellent hook. And it looks killer. etrailers exceptional service and quality is beyond compare.

Excellent products. And even better customer service i will definitely buy from them again.

Very pleased with etrailer. Very easy to order from website. Fast delivery, easy to install ,perfect fit . Thanks. .

Perfect fit for 2 inch Draw Tite receiver. good price, fast shipping.

Love these. This is my third one. Wouldnt pull a trailer with anything else. Trannys are expensive.

As a full-time RVer, e-shopping is very important for us. etrailer was the right place to shop. Right product, delivered on-time for a great price. You beat the local discount RV store by $25 including shipping. At the same time, I had another outfit send me a clearly inferior product to the one they displayed. Said they would e-mail a pre-paid shipping label for the return (didn't) and tried to put the blame on Amazon. Thanks etrailer for a great experience !

Great product. Just as I needed. Very prompt delivery

Fast and efficient

Awsome ball mount that allows me to open the hatch on my explorer while towing my boat.

The Extra Long Ball Mount proved useful immediately upon receipt. Delivery was prompt, and the updates from etrailer.com helped plan transport of several bicycles, simultaneously with a camper trailer. The extended length facilitated use with a Swagman bicycle rack, also purchased via etrailer.com. The product arrived in excellent condition, with correct capacity rating, and works perfectly, and in conjunction with the bicycle rack. I recommend purchases from etrailer.

Exactly what I needed for my new Ford Explorer. Great product and fast shipping. The bag keeps it from rattling around in the storage compartment.

Thank you etrailer for the quality products I received early last year. We needed a trailer hitch to install on our Subaru Forester for our move from Gig Harbor, WA to Spokane. We received the hitch hardware including the tow bar and electrical harness. The entire process took 4 hours. The installation process went off without a hitch (bun intended) using detailed videos I found online. Thank you etrailer.

The Convert-A-Ball is made in USA, appears to be high quality and just what I was looking for. The Draw Bar however was made in China The Convert-A-Ball appears to be high quality, made in USA and just what I was looking for. I needed a Draw-Bar to fit 1 1/4" receiver and with 1" shank hole, but nearest I could find was this Draw-Bar with 3/4" hole, so will have to drill out this one. Also was made in China, which I try to avoid although the quality appears to be good. Wish I had known that the Draw-Bar came with its own Pin & Clip so I wouldn't have ordered that separately, so now I have 2. This why I gave only 4 stars. Otherwise am happy with the order.

Fits as expected looking forward to towing pontoon boat this summer.

It's nice to be able to ajust the hight an the ball size & the storage bag adds a nice touch

I bought this product along with the trailer hitch and wiring harness. No issues with anything provided. I installed the kit on a Saturday and was towing a trailer 800 miles on Monday. Great website, I highly recommend Etrailer to anyone needing trailer items and accessories.

Product arrived ahead of schedule due to upgraded shipping at no extra cost. Order was accurate and appears to be high-quality. Obviously, I won't know for sure until I take it out with a trailer a few times, but I am glad to find a product that can tow my car and carry my bike rack at the same time!

They give you the exact fit as described. And fast delivery

I've used the hitch over the last year on several trailers and loads. The adjustability made towing a much better feel and ride over a fixed hitch that at times not the greatest. I see no wear, very easy to adjust even once coupled to the trailer and finding the trailer needs to be leveled better.

Works flawlessly. I was very excited the day I got home and my Rapid hitch was on the front porch. It came in nice box and was packaged very well. I opened it up and unpacked my rapid hitch and I was very impressed with the quality and precision of this hitch. All of the machining was PERFECT and everything fit together right. I put it in my truck right away. Going down the road with the trailer on and off there is absolutely no rattles, clunks, or jolts. I also love how everything is aluminum or stainless steel, NO RUST. I wish I could've gotten the greaseless model but my boat is too heavy. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with locking pins. With a hitch this expensive I really wish it came with them. Do yourself a favor and order them with your rapid hitch so you don't have to pay for shipping in the future. Other than that great product and I believe it will outlast me.

Arrived today. Fast shipping, and thank you for that! Seems to be a quality ball mount. Just what I needed to get the ball lower to tow my trailer. With this, now the top of the ball is at 16" where it needs to be. Custom built receiver on my old moving box van. Just need to weld on safety chain slots and paint it. Can't drop the lift gate with the receiver in (its pinned on both sides), but hey....I can tow now.

Tow infrequently; got new(to us) 2015 RAM 2500 pick up to tow our 38’ touring travel trailer. Have a HD WD hitch & adjustable sway control hitch set up we use for this trailer, but needed a drop hitch for our smaller Travel trailer& misc use haul trailer,,,,both much lighter & do not require the sway control set up. This drop hitch & ball fit the bill perfectly as the needed drop did not provide suffice t ground clearances to utilize the WD hitch mount setup (which was not needed) for those smaller loads. E-trailer worked w us to get the product we needed & an option that was inexpenve but sufficiently rated to pull our smaller trailers! Very happy our results !

Heavy duty , very good quality.

Exactly what I needed to tow my boat trailer. So easy to find on web site and a very quick delivery time. Very pleased with the entire purchase process and quality of product.

Product delivered in a timely manner and I really like that it was already assembled and ball was tighten to factory torque specs leaving out guesswork. Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs Item # C45036

This was purchased for towing a 7k GTWR utility/landscape trailer with my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 WT 4x4. I measured for necessary drop before ordering, and the 4" drop is darn near perfect. It's a great help that the 2-5/16" ball comes complete, installed and torqued properly at the factory. Appears to be quality construction, fits and functions perfectly. I have no complaints or issues.

WHat a difference having the right drop has on handling. A great product - highly reocmmend.

I cannot use this ball mount because the shaft is too short that goes into hitch receiver on my one ton Dodge truck. It does not allow enough room between truck back bumper and ball to allow any trailer tongue to be put on ball.

I purchased this for use with a friction anti sway device I installed on an enclosed V nose trailer. It worked well.

Received order the next day. Haven’t used item yet so no performance review available.

Everything arrived on time and well packaged. I installed a Curt hitch receiver to go with this ball mount. Installation for the hitch went exactly as described and was fairly simple for even a novice like me. Very pleased with etrailer.com and with Curt brand products in general. Couldn't be happier with the process from beginning to end. And the hitch looks and works great!

Everything was as expected. Installation was a piece of cake after watching the very much appreciated video on etrailer.com. The hitch is very sturdy and fit like a glove. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Great design, easy install. Runs a touch low but that's how the back of Ford Explorer is designed for after-market installs. I would have probably purchased a hitch with upright assembly if possible.

This hitch fits my Explorer great. My camping trailer & utility trailer now pull level. I only wish the hitch reached a little further into the receiver. It seems a little short to me.

I am using this on a 2010 Ford Explorer and a 5 x 8 open trailer with 12 inch tires. This worked great to get the drop needed so the trailer is level.

It looks like it will work OK. It fits and appears to be the right height for my utility trailer, but I did not get a pin to hold the unit into my receiver - just the product. The picture showed a pin and a clasp was included.

Easy to use and haven't had any trouble towing my small trailer with motorcycle on board. Def recommend.

Worked perfectly with my standard Ford Explorer hitch 2003. Service at etrailer was great, and hitch arrived in timely manner.

perfect for my needs - great price; great service
