Most Popular Steel Shank - Gloss Black for 2022 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!

Haven’t used it yet, but looks good. I’m not sure what height offset I need, so this kit gives me several options, plus two ball sizes. Really good value.

I installed the draw tite hitch onto my brand new 2018 Subaru outback. I'm 68 years old, not as strong as I was, but proud to say I did the job all by myself in about 4 hours. Here are some tips you may find useful. Watch the video-it’s pretty good. I had difficulty getting the exhaust system down and worried about getting it up again from the moment I got it down...read on-help will follow. I bought a stepup drill bit which worked great for drilling the hole in the chasis. I clamped the hitch onto a floor jack, then rolled it and raised it into position. Used metal shears to easily cut out the heat shield as per the video. Your inclination will be the screw the fishing tool provided all the way up the carriage bolt. That won’t work; just screw it on to the tip of the bolt. I couln’t get the exhaust hangars in place even after lubricating them with wd-40. I dropped the rubber hangars into undiluted liquid car wash soap which made them much more slippery than the wd-40. After that the rubber hangars slipped into place pretty easily-that’s my best tip. Finding the electric connection plug for the wiring harness was almost as hard as installing the hitch. I was very happy with how the job came out. Good luck.

Great Product

Sara R was helpful helping me find the right hitch for what I described as needing. I was excited to see the hitch pin in my order details even though I didn't order it. Sadly, the picture gave me a false impression. Overall, excellent customer service and product.

Excellent quality, fast shipping. Finding a metric ball for our international application was a bit difficult. We knew etrailer was the place to go for all things "trailer" related. Very happy with the purchase!

This is one solid hitch. Bought the hitch to pull about 5000 lbs. there's no doubt in my mind that it can handle it.

Ordering was extremely easy and etrailer representative very helpful. Chedi also sent me videos that explained perfectly how to install. I don't usually leave reviews, but these guys deserve a good one. Customer service and products delivered were impressive.

This worked very well for our needs, allowing us to attach a 4-bike carrier and a cargo trailer to our Expedition.

I am using the hitch for a car dolly and a bike rack. The fit is a little loose for the bike rackmI'll see it really works when get on the road.

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.

Still haven't towed anything with it yet but it seems very solid. I do think it will rattle some in the receiver because it is loose in my 2" receiver on my 2019 F150.

It did the trick, although it is starting to rust.

I purchased the etrailer.com 2-3/4 " Rise or 4" Drop Ball Mount Kit, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver and Twist-in 7-Pole RV-Style Trailer Connector for my 2011 Chevy Silverado. Quick Delivery! All the necessary parts arrived in perfect condition. Directions were spot on and the instructional videos were great.

After having trouble finding the right drop height and weight rating receiver for my new Ford Expedition Max, I called etrailer and Ashley was awesome in helping me as I needed something quickly. I've just travelled 1200 miles interstate with the "Convert-A-Ball" unit and I'm thrilled with it. The mount cushions the movement and had zero jolts or tugging with the trailer. Great product so far and at this stage I wouldn't use anything else!

Perfect for lifted trucks. This is the best hitch I have used to date. It has the perfect angle and design. When I come to a stop and then go, it does not slam metal to metal. There is some unique design that has a internal bumper inside of it. I tow a 7,000 lb ocean boat with this. It's paired to a 12,000 lb 2" ball, which I highly recommend. Several years I have used this without any issues. The paint is still holding up to the salt water that it is exposed to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! etrailer.com has the best customer service and prices you can find. BTW, I bought my brother the same hitch for his birthday and he loves it too. Thank you Lindy at etrailer.com for helping me order the hitches.

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.

Great Product

It's a drop hitch not much to say, exactly what i ordered, and fast shipping.

Heavy duty , very good quality.
