Most Popular Long Shank for 2021 Ford Expedition

Coming in at about 45 pounds, the D900 Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount is a BEAST! I purchased for use with my '08 Expedition towing either a small utility trailer w/ 1 7/8" ball or my DooLittle Bullitt cargo trailer w/ 2" ball. I needed 5 inches of drop (at least) for both. This is just about the only economical mount in which to accomplish this. Most if not all two ball mounts are 2" and 2 5/16" balls. Many reviews comment on the length that this mount sticks out and initially that was a concern of mine. Please see the Q&A of the D900 product page to address those issues. Short story: A hollow/tubular extension shank of (about or greater)15" reduces vehicle hitch capacity by 50%. The D900 shank and other components are SOLID steel. No reduced capacity. Specifically in my case; this extra length will allow me some personal maneuvering room when hooked up to the DooLittle and raising the lift gate of my Expedition. Clearance between raised lift gate and cargo trailer was about two inches using my old shank, and I should about double that. The anti-rattle tightening bolt is a nice touch. This is my first Etrailer purchase, but not my last.

VERY sturdy piece of hardware here. I was worried it might be a little flimsy piece of metal. Not so, this is a substantial hunk of engineering and I feel safe putting anything on the back of my Expedition! Fully adjustable and easy to install, just like it says!

Great product and very helpful folks to talk to. I’ve ordered from etrailer many times and it won’t be my last.

This hitch is a very handy addition to my toolbox! I work for a county road department, and I’m always pulling different trailers to and from job sites. I can switch from a 2 5/16” ball hitch, to a pintle hitch with the flip of a lever! Thanks B and W!

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.

This is a huge difference maker for us. I can open the tailgate of our truck with the trailer still attached, and helps minimize any body damage if my backing up is not good.

The hitch and the trailer ball with the hitch was perfect for making my trailer level behind my vehicle

Shipping was a mess, lost the first one in the mail somewhere because no one thought a 50# hitch would punch through cardboard. It is working as expected, but does not seem to be a true 2" drop.

Heavy duty , very good quality.
