Most Popular Hitch Mount for Ford Excursion

Easy to install and remove.

I recently added a 6-inch lift and larger tires to my truck. The tires stick out approximately one inch outside of the wheel well. This immediately increased the amount of rocks I was slinging every time I pulled out of my 400-yard-long gravel driveway. We bought a travel trailer and the last thing I wanted to do was sling rocks at it non-stop or take the chance of busting a window. We all know how high the RV tech labor rates are. I opted for this product to prevent a more expensive issue down the road. The pros: They work as you'd expect them to. They are adjustable, both in height and width. You can shorten the actual flaps by cutting them and a hole punch is provided to create new bolt holes. They are easily removed when not in use. The cons: Whoever wrote the directions may have been half asleep. In one step they'd say do something one way, then the next step another way. Super confusing but most of us can figure out how to install them. The flaps are not attractive to the eye but they get the job done. They are overpriced but I convinced myself to purchase them by knowing if it saves one puncture to the front hull of my camper or one busted window, they've paid for themselves. I'd buy them again, even though I'd still mumble under my breath how much they are overpriced.

Simple to put together. Arrived quickly. They have accessories that you can add. Bought them to use on our Alaska trip.

These, Rock Tamers perform as advertised! We were looking for some type of defectors when on dirt roads and when hauling our Fifth-wheel. The installation is easy and allows us to change the angle and length as needed. Great purchase and owning them a year has shown how much additional piece of mind having them, has been.

I have not had a chance to use the flaps yet but, upon assembling them, they are certainly heavy duty. Construction seems very good with aluminum and stainless steel bolts. One of the trim pieces arrived with scratches on it. After writing customer service, a new trim piece was mailed to me. Definitely a plus doing business with etrailer!

Fairly easy to install, instructions do call out a specific torque, so a torque wrench is a good idea. The flaps are heavy and should last a long time. The 2" etrailer shows from the bumper to the drop on the ball mount should probably be 2-1/4" The only con I can find, the height is not easily adjustable, you have to remove and redrill the flaps. I set mine at 5" and need to raise them to 7". They drag when I pull into the driveway.

It fits my needs perfectly

Great quality and fast delivery

The product did what I wanted it to do. It kept stones and debris from hitting the camper. However, when you cut the flap to a height that is compatible to a good running height ( 4" above the road) the flap drags going in and out of parking lots. On one trip it drug so often the flap had a tear at the mounting bracket. I sent an email asking if I could purchase just the flap but I got no response. So I improvised and put another metal bracket joining both sections of the flap.

Very easy to install and looks great. I shimmed my receiver hitch to ensure it did not wobbel. Protects my fifth wheel from gravel and road debris.
