2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Super sturdy, great fit. Knocked a star for a few things 1) there's no holes for tying up all the electrical wires that attach to the factory hitch meaning having to figure out stick-on solutions or tying up out of the way. Not major but annoying. 2) wish the hardware was similar to factory with the double retained nuts. The plates and bolts work but not as easy to install. 3) install isn't difficult, but it does take a lot longer than the instructions if you're removing a factory hitch. Between spare tire, all the fiddly push in wire holders and bolts that need penetrating oil and a strong impact wrench plan on at least 3 hrs if you're doing this with a floor jack on the ground.

2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty

I purchased a 2019 Ford F350 Platinum SRW, to discover at a later date that the aftermarket hitch was rated 3,000 lbs than the truck's rating. After I stopped swearing, I ordered this Curt Commercial Duty hitch. It is clearly much sturdier than the original and I now feel confident while towing my toyhauler. Removing the original hitch required an impact air wrench, but was straight forward. Installation of the Curt hitch was straight forward as well, but required a pretty hefty torque wrench to get the proper torque. Overall the Installation was not difficult and I am very pleased with the hitch. Etrailer provided accurate information, a great price and quick delivery.

The customer service is great. A local vendor delivered 3 wrong hitch receivers to me. I decided to take a chance on ordering online and was concerned that I would start down a rabbit hole all over again. Instead I was put at ease that etrailer had the solution. I placed the order and it arrived in Arizona quickly and fit perfectly.

Hitch fits well and I’m happy with the included hardware. The instructions left out a few minor details but nothing a reasonably intelligent person can’t figure out. This hitch is much better than the factory hitch.

STANDARD TRAILER HOOKS DO NOT FIT ON THE HITCH!!! Unbelievable. Hopefully someone with half a brain and basic experience designs the next one. Waste of money.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 15k Trailer Towed with 2-1/2 inch Hitch
    Based on the weight of the camper and the hitch opening size of the Curt # C15802 that your customer would have I would recommend the Equal-i-zer kit part # EQ64FR which comes with a shank that fits the 2-1/2 inch hitch size and also has a tongue weight range of 1,200 - 1,600 lb like what the camper would have most likely. We really like the Equal-i-zer systems because of how well they work and how long they've been around. This is the most copied system out there because it's basically...

  • Recommended 2-1/2 Inch Hitch for a 2018 Ford F-250
    To add a hitch with a 2-1/2" receiver to your 2018 Ford F-250, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15802. This hitch is custom fit and has a massive 20,000 lbs towing capacity and a 2,700 lbs maximum tongue weight. It can be used with a weight distribution system but that will not increase its capacity. For a compatible ball mount you will want the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount item # BW54FR.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2024 Ford F-250
    Yes, for your 2024 Ford F-250 we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15802. This is a class V 2 1/2" receiver that has a beefy 20,000 lb capacity, is assembled in the USA, and has an easy bolt-on install using the provided hardware.

  • Dimensions of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 2-1/2 Inch # 15802
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15802 has 3 different hole dimensions for mounting. The two holes closest to the receiver are 36.31 inches on center. The widest holes are 37 inches on center and the most forward holes are 36-1/5 inches on center. The dimension from the frame rail to the top of the receiver tube and crossbar is 5-1/4 inches. I've attached a photo to assist.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount For 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Towing More Than 1 Trailer
    I recommend the Curt Class V Receiver Hitch part # C15802 for the 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty because because it offers more towing capacity than the B & W option and the installation is a bit easier since it is one solid piece that you bolt up to the frame. Since you are towing more than 1 trailer you will need an adjustable ball mount so you can adjust the rise or drop depending on which trailer you are towing. For that I recommend Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch...

  • Will Curt Clevis Hook Attach to Curt Class V Hitch?
    The Curt 81960 clevis hooks you referenced have a 1" opening, and the safety chain loops of Curt hitch # C15802 are approximately 1-1/8" wide so you would be able to use them, but the hooks would not quite close. For Curt clevis hooks with a larger opening there is the # C81970 which has a 1-1/3" opening, as well as the # C81980, which has an opening of 1-1/4". I've added links to video reviews of these hooks for you to take a look at as well.

  • Is there a Ball Mount Larger than a Class V 2-1/2 Inch
    If your hitch receiver opening is larger than 2-1/2 inches then the next step up is a 3 inch if you are talking about physical size and not capacity. The 3 inch ball mount you need is # 40701 if this is the case. The hitch ball to fit is # C40085. This is not a common size though so I do recommend verifying the size of the receiver opening on the hitch. I have also included a link to our ball mount main page. If you mean capacity then the highest capacity 2-1/2 inch ball mount that we...

    Absolutely! For your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15802 is the way to go.

Like you were wanting, this is a Class V hitch with a 2-1/2" receiver.

    From the center of the hitch pin hole on the Fastway Adjustable Ball Mount # FA49-00-5925 to the back of the upright portion is 3-1/2 inches.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Ford F-250 With High Tongue Weight Capacity
    Yes. For your 2017 Ford F-250 6.7L diesel, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15802 which is rated for tongue weights up to 2,700 lbs. This won't increase the tongue weight range of your truck determined by the manufacturer which is set for 10% of the towing capacity. The hitch is rated independently so the hitch receiver can handle up to that 2,700 lb capacity.

    I can certainly help you get your family to Alaska safely as we do have some options that will be helpful, but it will depend on a few different factors. There is actually an anti-sway weight distribution system that would work, the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW2000, though this would require your 2017 Ford F-250 have a 2-1/2" hitch like the Curt # C15802, and you would also need to switch the brackets from the SwayPro's clamp on to the Blue Ox Signature Series...

    Yes, it'll fit but you're not going to be able to get rid of that 5" filler strip. I took a look at the instructions for the Curt Hitch item # C15802 and the Ford factory hitch and they have similar, if not almost identical mounting methods and the receiver still sticks out the same way. The Curt Hitch item # C15802 has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2021 Ford F-250.

    In your case, you will have to follow the tongue weight rating of your 2017 Ford F-250. The tongue weight rating on the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver, # C15802, is the weight that this particular hitch will fail and does not represent the total towing capacity of your truck. The max tongue weight that you will be allowed to tow will be the max of 1500 that is rated for your vehicle. Even if the hitch has a tongue weight rated up to 2500 lbs your vehicle cannot handle that much tongue weight....

This is because the hitch is made out of heavy-duty steel and is built for brute strength.

  • Conventional Towing Capacity of 2017 Ford F-250 4x4 6.7L Turbo Diesel
    The towing capacity for a pickup like your 2017 Ford F-250 Diesel 4X4 depends on all of the factory equipment installed, including engine, cab style, transmission and rear differential. You are correct that a hitch may be rated for more or less towing capacity than the truck itself; the lower-rated item always determines overall capacity for the combined system. The three best places to confirm any vehicle's towing capacity are the owner's manual, the dealership who can look up the VIN...
