The included complete hardware kit ensures you're equipped with everything you need to secure it tightly in place.
Say goodbye to the welding torch because this hitch bolts right onto your vehicle's frame. Its bolt-on design makes it an easy DIY project.

This hitch is more than just a number; it's a workhorse built for heavy lifting. Whether you're towing a trailer full of construction materials or a hefty camper, its sturdy, square-tube design ensures maximum durability and reliable performance.
Rain or shine, your hitch is ready for the road. The black powder coat finish, layered over a protective base coat, provides superior rust and corrosion resistance, keeping the hitch looking sharp and new regardless of the conditions you face.
Absolutely high quality hitch, bolted right on to my 1974 power wagon to replace another brand name hitch that the welds failed. This one very heavy built and gives peace in mind that I no longer have to worry about my hitch failing while pulling heavy.
The how to video made the installation process a doodle. Highly recommend E Trailer, I have purchased many parts from this company and their shipping service is super fast. Great products as expected.
Very well built I had 1500lb tongue weight on it from my dump trailer no problem
Product is very solid.only one complaint, I have1978 f250 I installed this on and it all fit properly except the square block plate spacers. They were slightly too big and wouldn’t line up to drop the bolts down through them and the frame. I ended up having to grind all six down on the one side so they would line up properly. Not a big deal if you’ve got a bench grinder but still an extra step not mentioned anywhere that would stop the average joe from being able to proceed.
Curt hitch fit perfect on my 1997 F250HD with a 38gal. rear tank upgrade. Etrailer was reasonably priced and ship time was very reasonable. Follow up from start to finish (Lauren) was an unexpected bonus especially in today’s world.
This product is the best quality and easy installation comes with nuts and bolts and the turnaround time is awsome.Would recommend this product and who the person.who ships it . 10 out of 10
Delivery was fast. Product arrived in great condition. The product is very well made. I look forward to mounting it on my truck.

Great product!
Great hitch , described spot on , shipping had no issues, thank you
The purchase of the Curt hitch receiver was a very smooth and timely process. The email communication was very responsive. I received my order in only a couple of days. The hitch is well made and sturdy.
The packaging was quite damaged upon arrival to no fault of eTrailer.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a hitch receiver or anything else.
I installed this hitch on a 1991 Dodge W250. It hangs down lower than it needs to for the factory bumper and required drilling the frame to install the hitch. Drilling the frame and the overall installation went well, however there are existing holes that could've been used had the hitch been designed differently. I do understand this hitch is designed for several applications and in that situation it is difficult to make every vehicle a perfect fit. This hitch is very stout, I like the one piece design and the load rating. I have a 14,000 gvw flatbed that I haul a variety of junk on and this hitch is definitely up for the job. The next time I need a hitch I will definitely consider this one.

Still works great after several thousand miles of hauling heavy junk!
The product is great and all the hardware is present. The shipping box was in rough shape though. But everything made it to me in a timely manner. Thanks
Overall I'm very happy with this product. It looks to be high quality with a high quality finish. I've had other Curt products hold up well in the rust belt and I have no reason to doubt that this one will.
I do have two minor complaints. I was having a hard time finding good information on how far this receiver would hang down, and once installed I wish it was about 2" higher. There's a bigger gap than I'd like below my standard step bumper and it reduces the clearance to the bolt holding my spare tire up. Everything fits and works, I'd just prefer it to be 2" higher, or at least to have been able to figure that out before ordering so I could have seen if there was one that might fit better.
The other issue is that the hitch frame was just a little too wide for my truck frame. I get that fitting a range of vehicles that are decades old is a challenge. But when I drilled the holes in the truck frame where they needed to be to work with the hitch they were too close to the vertical part of the truck frame so the washers provided in the installation kit would not fit. I was able to make them fit by cutting a little off one side of each washer.
But I don't want this review to sound too negative. As I said, overall I'm very happy with this product and I would buy it again (if I couldn't find something that rode about 2" higher).
Great hitch! Been using this quite a bit. Install wasn’t too bad, drilled the holes and mounted as required. Hauled a 16’ flat trailer load of firewood for about 70 miles numerous times. I’ve also hauled a 6x10 enclosed trailer packed full of sound equipment hundreds of miles. Have also hauled just over a ton of scrap a handful of times. Very robust hitch that has given me zero problems.
Perfect for! Bolted right up to my 2001 Ram 2500!! Took more time getting tools out than the actual install.
I am very satisfied with the quality of the product. Very well made, all hardware was included, and instructions were simple. Would recommend an extra set of hands, heavy and awkward to install on your own. I also had a really great experience purchasing through etrailer which was expected. I have ordered through them before and I have ordered again since buying this hitch. Fast delivery.
Thank you etrailer! I received my hitch right away and the box was in good condition. I installed the hitch and it looks great. I bought this hitch for the increased tongue capacity over my old hitch.

My hitch is still working great. The finish is holding up great also.
Bolted up nicely, quick shipping for free. Thanks!
This hitch sits way to low for a 1984 long bed f150, I know that the supplier says it is correct but it is not.
Worked perfectly, came with all hardware and very clear instructions. My only advise is have a set of very good drill bits. My 2nd hitch purchase from etrailer, and both times went great.
Price was great for this heavy duty hitch and installation was super easy.
I put this on our 1993 Dodge dually after I noticed what looked like stress fractures on the old hitch while I was having an exhaust leak repaired. The failure was probably caused by an overloaded dump trailer full of gravel. The price for this Class V hitch from etrailer couldn’t be beat so I bought it. I’ve since pulled serveral large loads with my 3400lb dump trailer, the heaviest being a load of gravel weighing 5.67 tons according to the bill. More than 1000lbs shy of the 16000lb limit and it pulled great, even at over 60 mph.This hitch is heavy and well made. I use a forged ball mount with square tube clamp attached to make the assembly rigid. You’ll be amazed at how much this will quiten all of your towing. I feel like I got a great deal from etrailer on this hitch and wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again if we get another truck.
Very happy with the product. Was able to install by myself in a little over an hour, fit like a glove and has performed flawlessly with the loads of firewood I've been hauling. Shipping was fast, and the overall experience with etrailer was absolutely fantastic. Etrailer was one of the only websites that had an accurate description of the frame width/depth dimensions that made ordering the right hitch a breeze. Would recommend Etrailer to anyone in the market for Heavy Duty/Standard Duty Receiver Hitches, and all other trailer needs. Thanks for the great product and will be hauling with this hitch for some time. Have a Blessed day
The hitch is extremely heavy duty and I highly recommend this product. Etrailer has great customer service, I received the hitch a day before the expected arrival date. I installed this on my 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger with the help of my 13 yr old grandson. This receiver hitch fit my truck perfectly, no modifications were needed. We removed the spare tire, drilled the holes and mounted the hitch per the instructions. The entire process took a little over an hour. I use a Shocker Hitch with an airbag, and it fits this hitch perfectly. I highly recommend Etrailer.
It’s very well built.
So it gives a sense of security going forward knowing I’m set up correctly.
Only giving 4 stars do to shipping issues. No fault to Etrailer. The hitch arived with a few days as all their products do. Box was highly damaged but the hitch was unscathed. Altho there was no hardware in the box so i will have to sorce these as im sure they fell out do to all the holse in the box. Therefore inhave not installed yet but I did put it under the truck and it appears it will line up properly and only need to drill the 4 holes that are stated in the instal video on product page.

Gosh! Failing welds sounds pretty scary! I hope there wasn't any sort of accident on the road or anything! Glad to hear you can have some peace of mind now, with the new hitch :) What do you tow?
