This hitch gives you serious towing power with a 10,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 1,000-lb tongue weight rating. Step it up even further with a weight distribution system and you’re looking at 12,000 lbs GTW and 1,200 lbs tongue weight. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most ball mounts, cargo carriers, and bike racks built for full-size towing setups. It’s the kind of strength you want when hauling campers, boats, or utility trailers.
The hitch is fully welded for strength and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer. That double-coating design fights off rust and corrosion so the steel keeps its integrity over time. It’s made to hold up through road grime, salt, and weather—exactly what you need on the back end of a working vehicle.
You don’t need to weld anything or modify your frame to mount this hitch. It bolts right to existing points using the included hardware kit. That means less time under the vehicle and no specialty tools required beyond what’s in most home garages. Once it’s in place, the visible cross tube gives you easy access for attaching accessories or a ball mount without any guesswork.

Ratings & Reviews
The overall quality of this product is excellent. I did have to apply a little elbow grease in the form of a wooden pry bar to get the holes to line up and the bolts to drop it, but other than that the installation went flawlessly on my 2012 E250 Van.
Jeremy did a great job advising me which hitch would be best for my vehicle and the shipping was very fast. Definitely recommended!!
Bolts up perfectly. Awesome service
Great hitch. Perfect fit.
Great hitch this is the second one I got front etrailer, easy to install only took 12 minutes and the price was right
Thank you
Simple installation. No drilling necessary. Some difficulty holding the carriage bolts with the "square hole" spacers while tightening.
Built really well and worked great!
Easy installation! I paid for the cheap shipping (not the free one) just to make sure it was here before Christmas. Came within 3 days of ordering. No drilling required. Bolted on within minutes. I was astonished how easy it was. Made my dad very happy! Gave it to him as an early gift.
Fit perfectly. Looks great and it was incredibly easy to install.
I had two young boys install it 15 minutes or less all the brackets was perfectly lined up with the holes and also the wire harnesses install to. Thank u e trailer staff.
Everything went great and it was delivered promptly
Item was exactly as described and took roughly 10 minutes to install including unpacking. I also ordered the necessary wiring and brake controller to complete the package and those were just as easy. The videos that are available are done very well and makes these projects go that much easier.
Easy to install and came with all the hardware you need to do the job
Excellent fit! Perfect for my needs! E Trailors are very professional, knowledgeable and courteous!!! Mr. Christopher knew exactly what needed. The price was unbeatable too! I will be using E Trailors for any future needs!
Shipping was very quick. Opening the box, initial impression was that the finish was very high quality, no chips or nicks in the glossy paint. Instructions were straightforward, very simple. Installation took me, a very slow worker, about 30 minutes. I used a few pieces of wood on an overturned milk crate to support the hitch while I inserted the bolts and finger tightened the nuts. I wrenched them down tight, then used a torque wrench to tighten them further. Easy peazy.
So far, so good, but I haven't pulled with it yet. My only gripe on install is that they give you two big washers to make up the space that a frame weld creates, but the washer is too skinny. They would need to send 4 washers of that same thickness to make up the space. I had two fat ones here, so I added a fat one to theirs on each side and it fit snug when I torqued it down. If I hadn't done that, all I would have had was a washer floating around between the frame and the hitch and it would have rattled. Otherwise, it was straight forward install. Fit and finish are fine.
I recently purchased the Curt class 4 trailer hitch for my 2006 /E-350 van. I'm impressed with the ease of installation, and fit! With the help of a friend to lift it up into position it took about 10 min. Using the factory holes in the frame, and it fits perfectly around the spare tire.
This hitch was extremely easy to install on my 2014 E-150 Passenger van. Propped on end up on a step stool and bolted on the other, and then bolted on the step stool side. Instructions were easy and, at least in my case, didn't require any drilling. The only hitch (pun intended) was my lack of a torque wrench, but my neighbor is a mechanic, so I borrowed his. It took about 45 minutes to install in the driveway.
I don't currently have a trailer, but I plan to use the 2" receiver for bike and cargo racks, and possibly a step. In any case, it's always good to have a hitch.
Here is how I ended up buying this hitch. In the spur of the moment I decided to buy a trailer (right place, right time, right price ) and all i had to hook it onto was the ball on the back bumper (rated at 500 lbs, which i found out later on) Needless to say, I pulled a 5000 lbs trailer hooked to the bumper. Yes, I know...not very smart...didn't know better.
Long story short... the bumper is a bit bent and I learned my lesson.
Here we are, bought the right hitch for the right trailer for the right situation. Live and learn.
It was delivered as stated (about 5... 6 days) and the package was heavy.
After i drove around with it for about another 2 weeks, i finally had time to install it.
I AM HAPPY. It is heavy, for a reason. It is sturdy and you feel it. I watched the video on the website for installation. It was very helpful, especially the trick to tape the washers to hold them in place. I did this in the parking lot and did not even jack up the van. I am skinny guy and usually I fit under any car. It is not easy to install it by yourself, yet not impossible.
It is hard to hold the hitch in place under the van, hold the back of the screws and put the nuts on and screw them at the same time, so i put one screw on one side and then another one across on the other side, after witch I put the rest of them in.
I must say the holes seemed to be to close together. I tightened one side an couldn't put the screws in on the other side. The holes could be moved apart another 1/16 in order to make the job easier (or maybe my van was just like that)
I screwed all the nuts little by little until they were all tightened up.
The price was right, high quality, feels sturdy. Happy with the purchase and will buy again and recommend it.
Time will tell how it holds.
Thank you Etrailer.

Very easy to install. It was a breeze. I put in the wrong email address and never got confirmation of the order. I called in and was very pleased with the customer service on the phone.Thank you
I received this hitch with some chips down to the metal. So I repaired these. Alll holes lined up except one. The hitch was bent 1/2 inch on one side. So with a steel rod, wood blocks, and a pump jack, I bent the hitch into place. All the extra work is why I gave this hitch a 3 star rating. I now have a 5 star hitch that works great with my Thule bike rack.
This item was delivered as promised and arrived in secure packaging without any damage. I was immediately impressed with the construction. The hitch receiver was an exact fit for my vehicle and very easy to install. No drilling required for my 2013 Ford van. This hitch will allow me to haul trailers without having to depend on friends. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend etrailer highly. Thank you etrailer.

Glad we could help, Benjamin! It's always nice when something fits as it should! ^___^ What kind of trailers are you going to be towing?
I was going to write a detailed review here but we did an entire blog post about the hitch and cargo carrier we bought from etrailer, the experience was fantastic and so were the parts for our build! The full review and how we did the install is at https://shantytravelers.com/hitch-carrier-generator-install/
Beautifully made hitch, and excellent customer service.
Thank you from Texas

The biggest flaw was the bent hitch that I had to spend extra time and effort on to bend back into place. Like I said, after bending the hitch with a steel rod and wood blocks and a pump jack.... I now have a 5 star hitch.
