Specially designed for heavy-duty towing, this fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

by:

Very heavy duty hitch! Got it for my 2004 F550. Installation was tricky having a service bed on my truck and I did not want to drop the fuel tank to do it. Overall, very solid investment and shipping was fast.



by:

My new hitch arrived and I was concerned because the box took a beating in shipping. Before I opened the box I called, explained what I received and the representative was great, they gave me their direct extension if I was missing anything. I was shocked when I finished opening the box - I was all bubble wrapped and on the corners it had a layer of cardboard and bubble wrapped again. The nut and bolts along with the instructions were all safe tucked into the tube and covered so they couldn’t fall out It’s good to see a company that cares about their customers experience not just their payment.



by:

Ordered this part and was left in silence for 4 days. I called etrailer and was told the part had not shipped yet. I asked if there were a better or similar part. The representative helped me find a better part for comparable price. I was instructed to cancel the original part due to it not shipping yet and they would send out the new one. An hour later I received an email that the cancelled part had shipped, and I could no longer cancel the item, instead when it showed up to me I could send it back for $[XX] shipping that I pay.! day later the wrong part and the right part show up together and the shipping box is demolished and has bent ears at securing points. Parts this size andd weight should not be sent this way, poor planning on etrailer side.

Fit like a glove. Beast of a hitch. T hanks!

I received the hitch yesterday and just got it mounted. I couldn't be happier with it, is about as stout and well built hitch as I've ever seen, thank you.

Am still glad that I went with the curt, I will be getting the same for the next f-350,450 or 550 that I get



by:

great fit on 2011 single wheel cab & chaasis F350. Super heavy duty and well made with a thick powder coat finish. Much more robust than other hitches I have used or seen. I have bought two other "Curt" hitches since this one and have been just as impressed. 5+ stars



by:

My 2019 f450 chassis cab had an end of frame fuel tank that had to be lowered to gain access to tighten the forward hitch bolts. Two of six mounting holes had to be drilled. Marking the hole location was easy as the other four boltz held the hitch in position for marking.

A floor jack is useful in raising and lowering the jack and tank.

Strongly suggest starting project with as little fuel in tank as possible.

Im very happy with the hitch and how well it fits. It is very beefy and i dont expect any issues from it in service.

Shipping was super quick, and I love the receiver I ordered.



by:

It's just like the add said, perfect fit. It only took 20 minutes to install



by:
2001 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis

Just installed this the other day on a 2001 Ford F-550 cab and chassis. There were factory holes already for the two front bolts so I only had to drill the two in the back. Make sure you have a nice, new drill bit as drilling up from the bottom on the frame can be a bit of a task and a sharp bit will lessen that burden.

The size of this receiver is impressive, looks very sturdy and MADE IN THE USA!

Exactly as described. Perfect fit on Ford 450

Put this on my Sterling AcTerra
Mounting
went well. Air bag made me mount it a little farther back but it ain’t going anywhere. Also didn’t have to move my taillights then.

Definitely a nice piece of hardware, it bolted right up.

Very good quality, fast shipping, fit like a glove. I would recommend this to anyone.

So this hitch you must drill new holes to mount, which I was aware of. Instructions describe that the 2 larger holes on the back must line up with 2 factory installed rivits, they did NOT line up with the rivits. After a phone call to Curt they knew of the issue. There is a certain combo Ford built of these trucks that the rivits were not in the pattern this hitch is made for. I had to drop the fuel tank, cut off 2 of the factory rivits and them clamp the receiver on and drill the new holes. Curt is aware of this issue, but the trucks built were this issue were a low production runs with a different fuel tank size. Receiver is great and seems well built, but kinda a pain to install



by:

Great quality!



by:

Excellent hitch. Fit was perfect.



by:

It’s a good product but I knew that when I bought it. What made me write the review is the customer service with etrailer I can get a hitch or truck accessories anywhere I choose to shop here time and time again for quality of service not the hitch. This time around I had a bit of a problem and every person I spoke with was helpful and knowledgeable and they got it taken care of almost instantly. I think I spoke with 4 representatives total with this company 2 three email and 2 over the phone. Emails are professional polite and most importantly informative. Phone calls are just the same I can clearly understand everyone I spoke to. I don’t usually go out of my way to write reviews but they always impress me.



by:

Looks good, excellent fit, very happy with this product. Best thing about it? etrailer customer service. Olivia did a terrific job. Found me the right product, took care of all the little details, and shipped the hitch out fast. Lots of companies have forgotten how important good customer service is, apparently etrailer remembers. Thanks Olivia!



by:
2008 Ford F-350, 450, and 550 Cab and Chassis

Hitch was easy to install and very beefy. I bought it to replace the stock hitch on a truck that frequently launches boats in salt water, so the stock hitch had rusted severely. This one seems to have a better finish, and is not exhibiting any rust after a year of use.



by:
1999 Ford F-350, 450, and 550 Cab and Chassis

I am not sure where I sit. I received the product all taped up and packaged really sloppy. etrailer says it’s shipping company shipping company says they received it like that.

Anyway it came missing some pieces. The rep at etrailer was very helpful to get me those pieces. Instructions never made it to me so I hope it’s mounted righ.



by:

We've purchased two of these to replace worn out receivers in our fleet.

  • Front Hitch that Fits 2022 Jayco Redhawk 24B
    Hey Sue, we have a front hitch that fits your 2022 Jayco Redhawk 24B with the Draw Tite part # 65053 which would be exactly what you are looking for but the hitch you referenced only fits at the rear of vehicles. The # 65053 definitely has the capacity you'd need as well.

  • TorkLift Super Hitch For 2024 Ford F-450 Cab And Chassis
    Hello Eric, thanks for reaching out. The TorkLift SuperHitch # TL27CR you mentioned will not fit the cab and chassis model of the F-450. It is only for the super duty pickup models. We do offer one TorkLift SuperHitch for the 2024 F-450 cab and chassis, part # TL76CR but please note this will only fit Diesel models with a 34" wide frame. If your truck is not a Diesel, there is no SuperHitch, so the best option will be the Curt Class 5 Hitch # C15845. This also only fits the 34" frame....

  • Which Class V 2-1/2 inch Hitch Would Fit 2000 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis
    I have a Curt Class V 2-1/2 inch that fits your 2000 Ford F-350 cab and chassis with the # C15845 but the # C15810 was not designed to fit the narrower cab and chassis truck frames so it would not work for you.

    It's either the exhaust, fuel tank, or both that causes a hitch to fit a diesel model and not a gas one. Like you said the frame wouldn't be different. Either way I checked with Torklift and I can confirm that their SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch item # TL76CR is only designed to fit the 2020 Ford F-450 cab and chassis with the diesel engines. There is no Torklift option for your gas model so you'll need to go with another hitch. The highest capacity custom hitch we have for the 2020...

    The difference is that Curt trailer hitch # C15845 is designed to fit cab and chassis style trucks and # C15810 is designed to fit regular pickup truck models. Cab and chassis trucks are the ones you might see on a lot that do not have a bed on them. They turn those into service trucks, utility trucks, and emergency vehicles. The frame rails are closer together on cab and chassis trucks than on regular pickup models. The frame width on a cab and chassis model 2001 Ford F-350 will be 34...
