This hitch gives your vehicle solid towing power for small campers, boats, or utility trailers. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening and a Class III rating, it’s rated for up to 4,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. When paired with a weight distribution system, that capacity climbs to 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs TW. It’s a dependable setup for hauling gear, towing a lightweight trailer, or adding a bike rack or cargo carrier without worry.
You don’t need special tools or a lift to get this hitch on your vehicle. The fully welded design bolts directly to the frame using the included hardware—no welding required. Mounting points line up cleanly, making it straightforward for a weekend DIY install in the driveway. The complete hardware kit and instructions make setup simple and leave no guesswork in how the hitch should sit.
Built from sturdy steel with precision robotic welding, this hitch is made for long-term use in tough conditions. The gloss black powder coat finish sits over a protective base coat to fend off rust and corrosion from rain and road salt. The round-tube style gives it a clean look while keeping the receiver strong where it matters most. It’s built like a piece of factory equipment that can handle years of towing and hauling without backing down.

This is my second hitch I’ve bought from etrailer. Both times the hitch showed up on time or sooner, and installation was easy due in large part to the excellent videos on the site. This is always going to be my “go to” site for any trailer needs.
Ordered this for our old 95 Ranger camping truck. 100% satisfied with etrailer.com as always! Great customer service, blazing fast shipping,highest quality products and simple instructions that my 8 year old and his dog can follow. Less than an hour for the three of us to install
Easy to install. I removed the rear bolts, bolted the hitch in place, drilled the front holes and bolted them. One tip. Install the wiring harness first. The receiver is 15 inches to the top of the square. The whole job took an hour. Great product!
Shopping on etrailer.com is the best. Easy to find what you need with all the information needed to make the right choice. The installation videos are very helpful along with the instructions.
Item damaged in shipment
After one year this has been working great on my 2006 Ford Ranger. Very easy install with no drilling required. I've put bike/moto racks on it and driven from Cabo to Canada. Just towed a loaded UHaul trailer from Montana to New Mexico with zero issues. Looks good on the truck and so far no rusting!!!
Solid piece of hardware
Well thought out
Am not exactly a pin ball wizard but got er done in OK time
Ford ranger 1997 bolts came out easily....remove & discard bolt clips
Only remove two bolts...but loosen all 4 so clips can be popped out
Buy a good 1/2 " drill bit ahead of time
Wear real eye protection...do u want hot metal filings in your eye?
Forgot to order the pin
Excellent customer service and follow through
Wish I had done this 10 yrs ago
It's a robust product with a good finish.
My only problem (hitch) was my vehicle (2001 Ford Ranger, Edge 6'bed) frame/bumper attachment had clips that couldn't be removed until the other bolts were backed out to provide clearance to slide the retainer out.
I am happy with etrailer.com and the many purchases I have made over the years.
Great hitch, great price and easy to install. The hitch went on a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab. It did not interfere with the factory spare at all. "It's like it was designed to fit my vehicle!"
got it today,very fast shipping. all the bolts and nuts were their that i needed,I put it on by self, it took less than 1 hour, looks great, great company great support ,even has a phone number, I like that!!! also,does not interfear with spare tire, witch was a concern of mine. thank you ,kalor
I received my hitch in 2 days and found it was just as described.... very heavy duty, manufactured at a high level and high quality paint. I installed the hitch on my 2003 Ford Ranger in much less time than anticipated. The hitch was as specified and fit perfectly .. no need to drill holes either. Very pleased with the product and ease of installation.
I've had this hitch for a year now, and it's still as great as it was on day one. It tucks up behind the bumper nicely to keep a nice clean appearance, and the powder coating has help up nicely. No complaints from me. Installation was easy, removing the hitch the previous owner put on was the hardest part.
I haven't put on yet will let you know how it goes. Thanks
The Curt 13138 fits my '97 Ranger perfectly. The 3 toughest parts with the install were 1. Loosening the bumper bracket bolts, 23 years of rust will make that tough 2. Cordless batteries were dead and the wife had knocked a hatchet onto the extension cords. So I soaked the bumper bolts with PB _and rust penetrant and fixed the extension cord in the half hour while the batteries charged. 3. I was working solo, so trying to balance, align and hold up the hitch while trying to get the first hitch bolt installed was not possible until I supported the hitch with a bucket. It really was a simple install and if I went out prepared would have taken 30 minutes. Even with drilling the 2 holes.
It looks good, tows my trailer, works with my bicycle and canoe carriers.
Perfect fit, easy to order, arrived quickly, great price.
2 photos- bucket supporting hitch for solo install and nice new clean hitch on my filthy truck.
This Curt Hitch receiver is absolutely amazing!! Nothing beats the quality of USA made hitch receivers!! I’d recommend this to anyone, it fit my 2005 ford ranger like a charm! We installed it in less than 20 minutes, just needed a helping hand to hold it while I got the bolts seated. 10/10 very happy with my purchase. Thanks etrailer!!!
Easy install, other than having to drill two 1/2" holes in the truck frame. Nice quality hitch. I have a 1998 Ranger 4X4 so the tires are at the larger end of the OEM tire range (P235/75R15). My spare tire did fit in the well once the hitch was in place, however the tire is shifted a little bit forward due to interference with the hitch's square receiver tube. My spare is suspended on a crank-up cable mechanism, so placement is not critical. It's fine though, very secure.
I like the way this hitch is mostly hidden from view once installed. Very clean look.
The nuts on the aft Bolts the ford frame were held in place by a clips. I had to cut/grian the clips to remove the nuts. Dremel tool did the trick.

Got my itch for 88 Ranger. Took it to my friend to help. Followed the instructions. Had to drill 2 holes in frame.First drilled a pilot hole with a small bit then used 1/2 inch hole and installed bolts. Took about an hour. My spare is original 215x75x15 and there is plenty of room I think to put 235 if I need to. Instructions say I need a special wrench to lower spare, but I only need a socket and ratchet or open end/box end . I'm well satisfied.
The hitch was very easy to install, took about 30 min. It fits perfectly to my 2001 Ford Ranger. The tow bar is very sturdy and is very well made! The delivery was fast, I ordered it on a Monday, and it arrived on Friday.
I would most DEFINETLY recommend this to anyone who is considering this for a tow bar.

Everything has been working great! They have been holding up very well to the tests of winter and summer. Thanks for asking.
First off, the install took just 15-20 minutes. The product fitment for bolt up was flawless and it has a good powder coated finish. Your install videos were great as they prepared me as to what I needed before the hitch arrived (like an 18mm deep wall impact socket). Thanks for posting those!
Biggest drawback is that it makes it pretty much impossible to lower the spare tire without having to remove the receiver. Not something that I will be looking forward to when and if I get a flat. I'm going to chock that up to me running the next size up from stock tires? They aren't much bigger but maybe that's how close the fitment is to the stock size?

James, thank you for your review. Since you mention that your spare tire is not stock size, I recommend that you relocate your spare tire before use to prevent any damage.
Once I got bumper bolts removed, took about 30 minutes, with a help of friend holding one side, to mount and secure. Lowering spare really facilitates mounting. No drilling required, excellent fit with easy to follow instructions. Will use to pull my ski boat and pop up camper. Looks extremely sturdy. Like distance from ground to receiver. Highly recommend product, ordering easy and delivery and packing was excellent.

Great, still living up to my initial review.
exact fit, easy to install. Sapre tire still fits in front of the hitch
It was a perfect fit for my 2005 Ford Ranger and an easy install, about an hour. I can still keep my full size spare in its factory position. The price was right as well.
easy installation worked really well. didn't have to drill any holes in my 2007 Ford Ranger. It's tight with the spare, I was worried about that but I think it's still worth it because it's a sturdy hitch and probably gives the most clearance out of all of them.
I've had this receiver hitch on my truck for the past 12 months. From the time I opened the box to installing on my truck, the entire process went smoothly. In this time I've had no issues when pulling my boat or my utility trailer. Thanks for providing a quality product!!!
