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:

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



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:

Received quickly and was just what I needed to solve my storage needs. Looking forward to putting it on my 5th wheel in the coming weeks.

Worked great for the application needed.



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:

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.

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

Thanks!

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:

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!



by:

We are very happy with the hitch, etc we purchased from you . Worked out well, and you folks were very helpful. Thank you!

Dena

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



by:

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.

Purchased this for a 1977 GMC coachman 24' Motor Home. Was not able to bolt on with out a bit of metal fabrication. Great product.

  • Trailer Hitch to Carry Mobility Scooter on the Back of a 2014 Keystone Cougar
    Curt trailer hitch # C13701 is one option. It will fit frame widths from 18 inches to 51 inches. Frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. This hitch is rated for 500 pounds tongue weight so it can handle the combined 400 pounds of the scooter and carrier. I recommend first checking the underside of your Keystone Cougar to determine if this hitch will fit or if any modification will need to be done in order for this or any hitch to fit. If...

  • What is the Highest Rated RV Hitch you Have Available
    I do not have an option rated that high for any coaches. The closest I can get you is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. It is rated for 500 lbs. of Tongue Weight and 5,000 lbs. of Gross Trailer Weight. You do need to check your Workhorse Owner's manual to see what it is rated for as a maximum as well and not exceed that.

  • Will The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Clear The Bumper On A 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE
    From the mounting bracket for the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 down to the top of the receiver tube is approximately 3-1/2" so you'll want to measure from the frame down to see if you'll clear the bumper.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Keystone Outback Travel Trailer
    Assuming your trailer has the capacity needed to tow 3,200 lbs you could use the Curt Adjustable hitch part # C13701 as it has a 5k capacity. Your trailer's frame would need to be between 18 and 51 inches in width.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 1950's Chevy Truck
    In regards to installing a trailer hitch on a 1950's Chevy Truck, the best option would be the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. The frame brackets are adjustable left to right so you can get a perfect match. The excess crosstube will then need to be trimmed off. It has a 5,000 lb weight capacity and it's made in the USA.

  • Will Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2010 Sierra Which Jacks
    Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 fits frames from 18 to 51 inches apart and needs a place on the frame to mount to. As long as the jacks aren't in the way and there's a place to mount the hitch, it will be fine.

  • Trailer Hitch Compatibility With 1982 2WD Toyota Pickup
    There is not a confirmed fit hitch receiver for your 1982 2 WD Toyota Pickup. I recommend using the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 which will require drilling into your frame and possibly doing a little fabrication. The hitch receivers you mentioned are not a fit for your truck.

  • Installing An Adjustable Hitch Receiver On A 2021 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer
    The bumpers on an RV/motorhome are normally not rated to tow anything or carry anything remotely heavy. Instead what you need is a new trailer hitch receiver added on to your trailer. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" Item # C13701 if the distance between your frame falls between 18" to 51". If not let me know and I can find another option to fit your trailer. You'll also want to make sure you have a bike rack that is rated...

  • Towing a Can Am Side by Side with a Fifth Wheel's Hitch
    It looks like the combined weight of your trailer and Can Am is 3100 pounds. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receive, part # C13701, has a maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds (6000 with a weight distribution system). There should be no problem with this setup. Of course, you need to check your owner's manual to ensure that your 2009 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel can handle that weight. You also need to check your state's regulations to see if they allow towing something behind a fifth...

    The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 has a shipping weight of 47lbs so you'll need to subtract 2-3lbs for shipping materials for an approximate weight of 45lbs.

  • Hitch Availability for my 2013 Chevrolet Express 4500
    We have a solution but we do not carry a custom fit trailer hitch for the 2013 Chevrolet Express 4500. I have checked with the manufacturers and they do not offer an option. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 can however solve your problem. Theis is an adjustable hitch that you can attach to the frame of the Express 4500 to get a 2" receiver on the back rated for 500 lb. of tongue weight and 5,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2004 Safari Trek Motorhome on a Chevy P32 Workhorse Chassis
    To add a hitch to your 2004 Safari Trek Motorhome you'll want to use the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch item # C13701. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has the requested 5,000 lbs towing capacity. This is a universal hitch that can be bolted or welded onto your Workhorse's frame. There are no custom fit options for your motorhome. Just a heads up. We have a had a similar question related to your 64-6230 Hidden Hitch that we have reached out to Draw-Tite on. According to...

  • Can I Drill Holes in the Brackets of the Trailer Hitch Receiver to Match RV Frame Holes?
    I definitely see the logic in drilling holes in the mounting bracket of the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 versus the frame of your RV, however it isn't that easy. If you were to move the bracket attachment holes, then you would minimize the weight capacity and stability of the trailer hitch receiver as well as void the warranty on the hitch. The installation would be easier for sure, but I can't recommend going this route as...

    You will need to measure the distance between the side stanchions on your 2017 Keystone Carbon 357 to determine fit. The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13701 is for frames that are 18" to 51" in width. This is designed to work on box frames, C channel frames, or I beam frames and will fit most frames.

  • Recommended Hitch for my 2009 Blue Bird Micro Bus on a 2009 Ford E-450 Chassis
    I have a good solution but there are no custom fit trailer hitches available to match your 2009 E-450 Chassis. Instead the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 is what I recommend. While it does not carry a Class 4 or 5 classification it is the highest rated option I have for your chassis. It offers you a 500 lb. tongue weight rating and a 5,000 lb. gross trailer weight rating with out weight distribution. With weight distribution it offers a 600 lb. TW and 6,000 lb. GTW rating.

  • Will Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit Venture SportTrek With NGX Frame
    As long as your frame width measurement is 18" - 51" you will be able to use the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. There is nothing about the NGX frame that would not allow you to use the hitch with your Venture SportTrek. The hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs but you will need to find what your trailer is capable of before towing.
