Great product, fit my truck perfectly. I have a 2016 F150 with a Tommy Lift instead of the rear bumper and gate. I wanted this design as it sat down a little lower and I wanted to clear the lift. The lift attachment brackets were a little in the way of the hitch receiver, but nothing a grinder couldn't take care of. It does sit a litle low, but it may just be my truck with the extra weight of the Tommy Lift.

Wow Juan, install looks great! I am sure this information will be most helpful in the future for someone who also has a Tommy Lift, we definitely do appreciate you taking the time to write the review =) What are you mainly going to be hauling around with the new hitch?



by:

Delivered on time and easy to install. The only "issue" was that the hole in the hitch receiver for the wiring harness was a little too big, so the harness could not be reattached. But that was nothing that a couple of zip ties couldn't fix. I did need to borrow a 15/16" socket for my torque wrench, because my set only went up to 13/16", and make sure you have a torque wrench that goes to 180 ft-lbs. But once I had the tools I needed, it took less than 30 minutes.



by:

Cammi at customer service was very knowledgeable and immediately gave me my options for me to make an informed decision per my specific needs (trailer tongue weight requirement over factory installed receiver hitch).
I will not hesitate to call/order with etrailer again!



by:

Was able to install with 1 person, used floor jack to support. Full size OEM spare fits for 18" tires - but tight fit - cant have a larger spare. less then 5 stars as the fit is a little short - should be 1/4" wider. Hitch does not meet metal to metal on the lower brackets, even with the spacers installed. The spacers are loose behind it because of the short length.

Was easy to follow the video and install



by:

Hitch receiver is a welcomed replacement for the OEM receiver that had a crack on bottom corner of about 5”. It did require an additional pair of hands and a floor jack, but bolted up nicely. So glad they included the “bolt chasers- couldn’t have done the job without them. Very satisfied with this product. Look forward to towing trailer next spring in safety. Thanks

The package came a lot sooner than I anticipated! I’m happy to have received it earlier than expected. It will fit my 2023 F150 XLT perfectly.



by:

Follow the video and it bolts right up. Very heavy duty.



by:
2021 Ford F-150

Fast delivery and perfect fit



by:

Nice hitch easy installation



by:

I thought this would be a replacement of the stock receiver but it is designed to mount underneath the stock receiver which looks terrible and would most certainly reduce the departure angle for off-road use. I didn't install it and had to take a big loss selling it on FB because I waited too long to return it to E-trailer. A better option if your stock receiver is worn out is to buy an aftermarket bumper and a new receiver that will mount in the same place as the stock receiver. Live and learn.



by:

The hitch is definitely heavy duty (also heavy) but it hangs about 6" down below the bumper. That would not be a problem except for dragging in rough terrain. The paper instructions were not too good but the video from etrailer cleared it all up.



by:
2020 Ford F-150

Nice product; handles tongue weight’s that exceed the factory receiver. Super straight forward, easy install.



by:

Product as described. Just like other reviews have said, my box came destroyed too. Saving grace was the hardware was taped very well to the hitch. Good quality.



by:

Great product, price, shipping and customer service!



by:

Arived on time and easy installation. All parts fit with mo adjustments necessary

Trailer is always good. Reasonable price, fast delivery. That's why I keep coming back

  • Curt Trailer Hitch that Fits 2018 Ford F-150 with Factory Hitch
    Curt has a hitch that does fit your 2018 Ford F-150 with a factory hitch with the part # C26HR which fits below the factory hitch, but the part # C14017 does not fit versions of your truck that do have the factory hitch.

  • Is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C26HR Visible on a 2017 Ford F-150
    Yes, only the receiver tube opening of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C26HR will be visible while installed on your 2017 Ford F-150. I have attached a photo of what the finished product will look like on a similar F-150 for you in addition to an install video. I also recommend using part # C22272 to protect the inside of the receiver tube from rusting while not in use.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2016 Ford F-150 that Has Factory Hitch
    We have a hitch that fits your 2016 Ford F-150 that has the factory hitch but the Draw Tite # DT35MR does not replace the factory hitch as it only fits models that do not have the factory hitch. We do have the Curt # C26HR which fits below the factory hitch though. There isn't a model that replaces the factory hitch.

  • 2018 Ford F150 Hitch 4-way to 7-way Trailer Connector
    If you need to connect to a trailer that has a 7-way but does not have or need brake signal, 12V power, or a reverse signal then you can the # 337TC1474P connector. It plugs into your existing 4-way and then you can tape the other wires up out of the way. I have included a video of this being installed with another kit on an SUV and at the very end of the video you can see this 7-way being installed. To get a fully functional 7-way on your 2018 Ford F-150 with a factory 4-way, you will...

  • Recommended Class V Hitch for a 2023 Ford F-150 w/ the Factory Hitch
    Hey Jason! We have a one option to add a class IV hitch to your 2023 Ford F-150. It is the Curt item # C26HR. This mounts below your factory hitch and will give you a 10,000 lbs towing capacity. The main draw back of this hitch is you won't be able to mount your spare tire beneath your truck once you install it. A better option, if your F-150 has the factory hitch rated to 10,500 lbs, is the TorkLift SuperHitch item # TL74CR. This is a class V with dual 2" receivers. It will allow you...

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Fit on a 2018 Ford F-150 with a Factory Hitch
    Hey Bryan, thanks for reaching out! The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT35MR was designed for 2018 Ford F-150s that don't have a factory hitch, so it doesn't have attachment points for the bumper. What you're needing is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C26HR which is made to fit with an OEM hitch. It fits below the OEM hitch so that stays in place and supports the bumper. You might still be able to get the Draw-Tite to work, but you'd probably have to modify something...

  • How Visible is Curt Hitch # C26HR When Installed on 2020 Ford F-150
    I attached a couple pictures that show how well concealed the Curt hitch part # C26HR is when installed on a F-150 like your 2020 model. Basically only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which allows it to be as hidden as possible! I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Replacement Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-150 With a Factory 11k Hitch
    Hey Adam, since the TorkLift Class 5 Trailer Hitch # TL74CR is only designed to work with factory hitches rated up to 10,500 lbs, it's not going to work with your truck that has factory hitch rated for 11k. Instead, you'd want to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C26HR which has an up to 12,000 lb capacity when used with a weight distribution system. If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

    Hey Jason, What you're needing is the Class IV Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14017 to replace the OEM hitch on your 2023 Ford F-150. This is a pretty standard installation process that comes with new mounting hardware, so you won't be reusing the old hardware for your OEM hitch - this is nice because it means you don't have to worry about the integrity of the old hardware.

  • What Hitch Can I Use on My 2018 Ford F-150 to Upgrade a Factory Hitch?
    While we do have a hitch option for your 2018 Ford F-150, you won't be able to use the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # DT35MR. This is because the Draw-Tite is designed for truck frames styles of F-150s that did not come with a factory hitch. After removing the factory hitch on your truck, the frame style/design is not compatible with the # DT35MR. However, for a great alternative, I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class...

    As the Draw-Tite # DT35MR Class V hitch is designed to fit a 2018 Ford F-150 that did not come with a factory hitch, I will have to steer you in a different direction. With that said, the Curt Class IV Hitch # C26HR will fit trucks that came with the factory hitch and will be the better option for you. This will not affect the spare tire stored under your bed, but you are correct in that lowering it is needed for the install. From looking at the factory hitch on your truck, I don't think...

  • Recommended Ball Mount w/ a 2 and 2-5/16 Hitch Ball and a 7,500 lbs Capacity
    Sounds like you are needing a ball mount. If you have a 2" hitch, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS10037B. This ball mount has both a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball. It will give you a 5" drop or a 5-1/2" rise. The 2" ball has a 7,500 lbs capacity and the 2-5/16" ball mount has a 10,000 lbs capacity. If you have a 2-1/2" hitch you'll want the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item # BWTS20037B. If your truck is lifted you will want the 2" B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount item #...
