Most Popular Class III for 2008 Ford Explorer

Like the other items I ordered this arrived 2 days early and fit perfectly and is exactly what I needed for my 98 Explorer for towing a car trailer.....

Didn't realize that the unit came with a pin and clip so I ordered one. Now I have 2. No problem. Good product and it was delivered 2 days earlier than anticipated!

The 2" receiver hitch fit perfect on my 2004 Ford Explorer XLT. I could not be more pleased with the product and most of all the professional and polite manner that etrailer handled the sale. Plus etrailer is the most affordable site I could find. I received the hitch in only two days...WOW. I will recommend you to everybody. Thank you. Freddie

Nice looking ball mount. Coating looks nice and it seems to be a solid piece.

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

Perfect drop for my explorer. Great price and fast delivery. Thanks again

Great deal on the Curt Class III ball mount with 2" ball. etrailer.com was great to work with. Ordered Sunday and delivered Wednesday. I'll definitely use etrailer.com again!

Quality product, well made, but design could be improved. The square bar that slides into the receiver on the car/truck is too long, resulting in the hitch ball being about a foot behind the bumper, at least it is on 2004 Ford Explorer. It becomes a trip, knee, or hinge hazard if not removed after towing.

There were some UPS delivery issues, damaged in shipment. But, etrailer.com jumped right on sending out another shipment after it was apparent that UPS would not complete the delivery. The installation took longer, maybe 1-1/2 hours, because I did not have all my tools ready and I was working on the concrete floor in the dark to outside with a portable shop light. Everything fit well and it looks great. The 2" drop ball mount was the perfect height for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I love the look of the Curt black insert that makes the hitch looks like it belongs on the car, nothing embarrassing at all. Anything negative? Maybe. The flat plate was a little difficult to hook onto with the UHaul safety chains on a 5x8 trailer. That's hardly a negative, though, and I wouldn't have spent more on another brand choice because of this. Happy happy!

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.

Product came just as described and fit perfectly for what I needed. I used it for a hitch mounted on the frame of the rear of my fifth wheel rv. Hitch was mounted at the very end of the I-beam style frame i had on rv but I wasn't comfortable with the length of a standard size ball mount receiver. It needed to be longer. This product was exactly what I needed to complete my rv hitch setup. Thanks e-trailer !

Ordered this hitch and it worked perfect for what I needed just bought a teardrop trailer. Couldn't open up the tailgate on my Jeep so I ordered this extended hitch and I brought the ball out past my spare tire and the tailgate opens up now I have no problems. And I looked everywhere couldn't find one of this quality and at this price very reasonable the other ones hundreds of dollars didn't want to spend that much.

Perfect drop for my explorer. Great price and fast delivery. Thanks again

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.

Very good product and great service, Thanks Rick

Not that many non-adjustable option for a 12” drop and this one is the best! Love the cushion and it’s very strong. I put that to the test today when I got rear ended with it in the back of my truck. This thing saved the back of my Ram. Came right back to etrailer and ordered a new one!
