I've used Curt products before and this one did not disappoint. The packaging however was not up to the task. The box was open and I immediately started inspecting for damages and missing parts, thankfully the packer from etrailer completely wrapped the loose parts in reinforced tape and everything was there.

All set up, ready to roll. etrailer got me everything I needed hitch to brake control. Thank you your customer service was great!



by:

good product, easy to figure out, many options, easy to install



by:

And again- another order delivered accurately and precisely as specified- thank you so much!



by:

The hitch that we ordered was shipped the day of our order and came very quickly. The installation process was simple and worked very well on our bus. This gives us the capability to tow a small trailer to carry our luggage for the youth conferences that our teens attend throughout the year.



by:

Got it, looks like everything is there, the box didn't hold up to well to the ups shipping, typical, a smaller box packed with foam and bubble wrap may work better

I received the hitch on time and installed it with no problems at all.

Thanks!

Worked great for the application needed.



by:

Well built product. Easy install, took about 1 hour mostly for drilling holes. Be sure you have at least 2 brill bits for each size required.



by:

Ordered this to retro fit a Class III hitch on a '63 Willys truck. So far it works perfectly. Was able to attach it directly to the frame and not lose any functionality. Also ordered C45791 Hitch extender and won't need it with this setup. All parts were included and the install instructions were clean. eTrailer also did a great job of assisting with the order to ensure that it got to me as quickly was possible.



by:

I actually ordered the wrong hitch; however, gave to a friend that needed one. He likes it. I ordered the same hitch but the 71 or 72 inch span. Had to customize the mounting to the fifth wheel camper as the camper had electric stabilizers installed. Anyway, works well, tow an 18ft deep V boat behind camper.



by:

Had it welded to the back of my pull trailer to hold a wire rack. Holds my camping chairs and dog enclosures, works great



by:

Hitch worked out great. Mounted it on the back of my 5th wheel. Use it to tow a Kubota RTV or my dog trailer.



by:

Very pleased with this hitch, it fits my Thomas HDX bus with very little modification. only had to drill two additional holes in the frame. extreamly rugged and up for the job.



by:

Delivery was fast.The mirrors worked out great .Easy install on my 1967 Galaxie.Trans cooler was a pretty quick installation really good instructions.The trailer hitch required a bit of work but was definitely worth it ! I'm 70 years old and didn't have a difficult time with these products.Will definitely use your products again.



by:

Bought this to put on the back of my fifth wheel for bikes and the product is well made and instructions were good.

Had looked for a hitch to fit a 36 inch plate on my converted bus/ rv. Found this one that is adjustable on etrailer.com. I ordered and received in great packaging. Very quick turn around from order to receiving. Thank-you!

Wish I needed more trailer parts, will use them in the future!

Very heavy duty bolt on application, just make sure you have 9/16 and 11/16 bits.
If not add another $35 to your project.
I Like it.

  • Parts Needed to Use a Cargo Carrier on a Trailer without a Trailer Hitch
    To use a cargo carrier at the rear of your trailer you first need a trailer hitch. Some of our most popular trailer hitches are from Curt and are parts # C13701 and # C13702. These are compatible with trailer frames that are 18" - 51" wide, they have a 2" receiver, and are rated for 500 lbs of tongue weight. The only difference between these 2 options is that the former has a 2" drop whereas the latter has a straight receiver. Then for a folding carrier I recommend the 24x60 Curt Cargo...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 1992 Ford E-350 Shuttle Bus
    Hi Tad, Based on the dimensions you provided I recommend going with the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702. This would mount under the frame with the receiver tube sitting roughly 2" below the frame. If you need an additional 2" (4" total) to clear any rear bumper/fascia then you can go with the # C13701 instead. These hitches fit frame widths from 18" - 51" and any excess can be cut off of the crosstube with a chop saw to fit. There are a few other...

    I do have a solution for you, however we do not currently offer a custom-fit trailer hitch for the 2013 Ford F-53 Chassis on your RV.

This hitch features adjustable side brackets that can slide along the hitch body to match exactly the width of your vehicle frame. The brackets fit frames from 18 inches to to almost 44 inches.

The Curt # C13701 mounts to Box frame, C-Channel frame, or I-Beam frame trailer frames between 18" and 51" wide and can be bolted or welded on. If you have a frame wider than 51" you'll want to use the Curt # 13703...

    You can choose from either frame mount or bumper mount hitches to use a 4 bike carrier on a trailer.

Frame mount hitches are much stronger but will require more effort to install. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 is my recommendation there.
