Most Popular Rise - 1 Inch for 2001 Ford Windstar

Works great.

Just Alright - made in CHINA I ordered this per etrailer's suggestion to use with a Curt Class III Receiver Hitch on a 1999 Ford Windstar to pull a pop-up camper. The ball mount (which is made in CHINA) is built very solidly , but there seemed to be a lot of play once inserted into the Curt receiver. There was a lot of clunking around back there while either accelerating, braking, or simply pulling. I ended up wrapping the ball mount shaft with a layer or two of duct tape to tighten things up a bit and alleviate some of the obnoxious clunking. The Ford Winstar pulls great. The Curt receiver is as good as they get (and made in the U.S.A.). The Drawtight ball mount seems to be the weak link in my setup. Next time I'd go with a CURT ball mount. Plus CURT is made in the U.S.A

Longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with trailer attached. Replaced a similar but shorter Curt hitch and both are very substantial and well made for the weight of my trailer.

With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2" Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.

Works perfectly for me. I use it to tow a motorcycle trailer behind my Mini Cooper with a concealed hitch so I need the extra length to clear the bumper. No complaints.

Excellent quality, solid steel bar and wields are excellent. The black coating is heavy and well applied. I’m Very happy with this product!
