When you need more capability from your ride, this Curt Class III hitch gives you a solid foundation. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, it’s ready for the most common towing and accessory setups — from ball mounts and cargo carriers to bike racks and small trailers. Rated for 4,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight (4,000 lbs WD GTW / 600 lbs WD TW when used with weight distribution), it handles typical boat trailers, campers, and utility hauls with ease. The sturdy, square-tube design makes it strong enough for repeated use without feeling lightweight or flimsy.
CURT fully welds this hitch using precision robotic equipment so every seam is solid and every mounting point lines up correctly. The gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat fights corrosion and road grime for long-term durability. That finish not only resists rust but also looks clean under the bumper, so you get strength that’s matched by a tidy appearance.
This hitch is designed for an easy DIY install — no welding or drilling needed. It bolts directly to the frame using the included hardware kit and standard hand tools. The fit is exact, with mounting holes that line up as they should, saving time and frustration compared to universal options. For most folks with a driveway and a basic tool set, it’s straightforward enough to handle solo.
If you want more versatility out of your vehicle, this hitch opens up plenty of options. Use it for your favorite hitch-mounted bike rack when heading out on weekends or attach a cargo basket for extra storage on long trips. The standard 2" receiver size means accessory compatibility won’t be an issue — most gear already fits right in without adapters or extra parts.

easy install. Direct fit. PICTURES SHOWING WHERE TO CUT THE TWO PANELS NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED.
Good price, all parts accounted for, easy install and a great fit!
Easy to install. Works as expected.
Perfect fit for FIL Maverick! As always; price, shipping, quality!
It was easy to install I did it myself laying on the ground the fish wires were great the hardest part was trimming panels
Hitch bike holes lined up perfectly. Easy installation.
The hitch fit my truck and the installation video on the etrailer website was very helpful.
The hitch was a perfect fit. Took 20 mins to install on my 2025 Maverick.
Packaged well. Received in good time. Product looks good. Have not installed the product yet. Should be fine when installed.
The biggest selling point for me was the video instructions for installation. It installed exactly as described.
The order process was very easy to complete and delivery was right on time. I would recommend etrailer.
Fit perfectly and installed according to directions. Only hiccup was removing the exhaust pipe hanger (not in instructions so threw me off for a few minutes trying to understand). Otherwise looks like it’s good quality, nice welds, feels solid.
Easy installation
It worked exactly as expected and the installation video was great.
Super easy install, product arrived super quick
Install was easy and installation video was very helpful. A helper would have made the install a piece of cake but even an old geezer managed by himself.
I have not installed the wiring kit to date but I would trust etrailer.com if I decide to do it myself.
So very easy to install. Thank you a Mi llion!!!
Easy install. Great video instructions.
Great fit and finish , fast shipping, it took me longer to wire up lights than it did to put hitch on
Apart from receiving the box almost destroyed. The hitch was very easy to install. We had the necessary parts out of the way and the hitch installed in about 30 minutes. Couldn’t have been happier. etrailer is my go to provider when it comes to anything trailer related. If i have any issues they are all really to assist.
I like etrailer for it's fast delivery and installation videos..
It took me 1 1/2hrs to install by myself (jack stand as 2nd hands)..
Hitch does take more time to install on ford Maverick but everything I needed was supplied and fell comfortable with giving a good recommendation to potential buyers.
Good product. Etrailer was responsive with my questions. My hitch receiver came fast and was mostly straightforward to install. Used it the next day and it worked as it should.
Great customer service. First time customer and will definitely do business again with them. Professional, informative and courteous reps. Pleasant experience.

We are always happy to help with whatever we can! I'm glad that even though the box went through it in shipping, that the hitch was still easily installed and complete.
