Features to know about

Haul Small Trailers and Gear with Confidence: Class II Strength and 1-1/4" Receiver

Built for light-duty towing, this Curt Class II hitch gives you a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight rating and 350-lb tongue weight capacity. That’s enough strength for small campers, boats, or utility trailers. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver also works great for bike racks and cargo carriers, giving you more ways to use your vehicle for weekend trips or daily hauling.

Install It Yourself Without the Hassle: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

The custom-fit hitch uses a bolt-on design, so there’s no welding required. It comes with a complete hardware kit and installation instructions to make the process straightforward. Precision, robotic welding ensures the mounting points line up properly for an easy fit using common hand tools.

Keep It Looking Good Over Time: Gloss Black Powder Coat Finish

The fully welded steel construction is protected by a gloss black powder coat finish over a base layer that fights rust and corrosion. This durable coating helps the hitch stay looking clean even after years of use in wet or rough conditions. The round-tube design keeps it stylish while blending nicely under the bumper.

Built to Last for Everyday Use: Heavy-Duty Construction and Long-Term Support

This hitch is assembled from strong, welded steel that’s made to handle everyday towing and accessory use. It includes a limited lifetime warranty and is backed by lifetime technical support from etrailer.com experts who install these hitches daily.

Excellent product. Easy install. The video was a big help.

Very nice unit. Great welds and paint. Had hitch on in a hour. Customer service was a pleasure to work with. I will recommend to everyone.



by:

Fast shipping, all parts were there. Fit perfectly. Video helped tremendously. Would recommend to others.



by:

I have inspected my Class II hitch. It was delivered promptly. The instructions were very through. The hitch was flawless, well fininshed and complete. I plan installation later and I can't comment on installation now.



by:

Excellent product with easy installation. The installation video was spot on. Highly recommend.



by:

Hitch fit was spot on and installation was just as the video estimate of time was correct also.



by:

Great customer service! Easy to pick the right hitch with the accessories you need and very informative videos if you need a little help.
Hitch shipped quickly and everything fit just right.
Completely satisfied with sales to installation.



by:

Very pleased with the hitch. The installation supplies were all in order and it came with solid instructions. And of course the video course on installation was a help. It was a big job for a weekend warrior but doable.



by:

this was one of the best companies to deal with. they kept in contact the whole time. they made sure everything arrived on time. that, to me is priceless... the hitch and harness is great. easy instalation. looks super.. I am extremely happy with the whole process.... top notch everyone....



by:

I like the actual hitch, but the electrical hook-ups did not work. The right brake light and turn signal on the trailer do not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled everything, but the problem persists.



by:

Installed many trailer hitches over time and this one was the easiest. Only needed to disconnect the left rear exhaust hanger which saved a lot of time. Used a 1/2" drill bit which was fine. Fishing bolts with wire went smooth even though there is very little room at the end of the frame. Make sure you fish the coil thru the hole to the frame end rather than the other way.



by:

I finally installed my Curt 1-1/4" hitch Saturday. It went in easy on my 2012 Ford Edge. I spent 2=3 hours trying to find the recommended 17/32" drill bit. Finally, I used a 1/2" bit. As in the case of many designed products the designer never actually installs the product themselves, but takes the advice of a well-equipped garage or shop. Sometimes the poor schmoe that's doing the work under a "shade tree" should be given some consideration. For example, I have bought produces that contained the special size of tool or bit if it was really important. It was included in the purchase of the product. The other idea is to use standard sizes and not some obscure size that, in order to get the one special size tool, one has to buy a 300 piece drill set with solid oak tool chest with built-in stereo speakers. Be assured that I didn't buy the tool chest. Yes, I have recommended buying the Curt product to my friends and showed the attached pictures.

  • How to Pick Out the Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount to Tow Trailer Level
    You will want to go with a ball mount that has the amount of rise/drop that will allow your trailer to be towed as level as possible. To do this you will need to take a couple measurements. You will need to measure from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and from the bottom of the coupler on your trailer down to the ground when it is sitting level. The difference between those measurements is the rise/drop that you need. I attached a help article on how to do this as well. Once...

  • Recommended Class II Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Edge Titanium
    I do have a solution for you, however the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch # C12036 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford Edge Titanium Model. For a Class II hitch that will fit your Ford Edge Titanium, I instead recommend the Curt Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C12140.

It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and has a 3,500 pound towing weight capacity....

  • Where to Attach Curt Stabilization Strap on a 2008 Ford Edge to Carry a Bike Rack
    Curt does not specify where the stabilization strap # 18050 has to go on a vehicle, just that it has to be attached to the vehicle and the carrier in the hitch. Generally you will want the connection point on your 2008 Ford Edge to be higher than where it is attached at the bike rack. It would probably be easiest to attach the vehicle end to the gap between the rear hatch and the body of the vehicle somewhere. If you go with one of the Draw-Tite trailer hitches ( # 75992, # 36447) you...

  • Will Installing Curt Trailer Hitch C12036 Reduce Ground Clearance on a 2007 Ford Edge
    With Curt trailer hitch # C12036 installed on your 2007 Ford Edge there may be a slight decrease in ground clearance but only marginally so. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows a side view level with the receiver. You can see that it is pretty much at the same level as the exhaust pipes. I have also included a link to a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.

  • Available Trailer Hitches for a 2011 Ford Edge
    There are 3 trailer hitch available for your 2011 Ford Edge, I have included a link to them below, but the 36447 hitch that you have referenced will only fit a 2007 model Ford Edge. Of the available trailer hitches that will fit, all but one of them are Class III trailer hitches with 2 inch receivers.
