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.

Thanks!

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!

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.

  • 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...

    Since hitches for trailers are not custom fit you can simply filter through the linked page that has our selection of trailer hitches on it. You will just need to make sure that the fit specs for the hitch match up with that of your 2007 Keystone RV Cougar 289BHS.

  • Towing Capacity for 1983 Skyline Class C Motorhome With C30 Engine
    Your photos didn't come through, but I think I can help with some information you provided. Your 1983 Skyline Motorhome does not have a specified towing rating that I can find. So, it sounds like you would be restricted by the total towing capacity of the hitch. The strongest RV hitch we have is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701 which has a max towing capacity of 5,000 lbs or 6,000 lbs when using weight distribution. This is...

    I went out to our warehouse for you and took some measurements on the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. The distance from the outer ends of the crossbar is 51" long. The mounting brackets have a bolt hole to bolt hole measurement of 8-1/2". The side mounting plate is 2" from the top of the crossbar to the top of the bracket and the distance from the top of the receiver to the top of the crossbar is 2-3/8". I have attached a picture with these measurements for your review.

  • Is There a Front Mount Hitch for a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
    To install a front hitch on your 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe you'll need to use a universal kit like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 since there are no custom fit options available. This hitch fits 18"-51" wide vehicle frames and features a 2" drop and a 2" receiver which fits basically anything you'll be putting at the front of your vehicle. Aside from this you'll have to take your vehicle to a shop and have them custom fabricate something for your vehicle.

    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.

  • 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

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.

You will need to contact Jayco to determine what the capacity of the trailer is when a hitch is installed on it. Be sure not to exceed the lower of the two capacities (hitch and trailer). If you plan to use this with a cargo carrier you will need to make sure it is rated for use behind and RV...

  • Frame-Mounted RV Hitch for 2016 Keystone Passport
    A frame-mounted hitch for your Keystone Passport is a much better option than a bumper-mount type, both for stability and for weight capacity. We offer several frame-mount RV hitches with capacities up to 500-lbs of tongue weight. All such items are shown on the linked page. The key is checking your trailer's frame width to find the best match and the required capacity. We also have some with drop, such as Curt # C13701 which has its 2-inch receiver 2-inches below the crosstube.

    We do have hitches available for campers like your 2019 Coachmen Viking LS Camper. These hitches mount to the frame, so you'll need to take that measurement into consideration. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Class III, part # C13701. It adjusts from 18" to 51" and mounts to box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. It has a 2" receiver and can be bolted or welded on. I've linked to a video review of this below. As for your bike rack, I was unable to find out if yours is compatible...

    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.

    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 only options I can offer you are universal like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701. This hitch fits frames spaced between 18" and 52" apart. It has a 5,000 max gross trailer trailer weight (GTW) and 500 max tongue weight (TW) rating. It comes...
