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.Great hitch! Been using this quite a bit. Install wasn’t too bad, drilled the holes and mounted as required. Hauled a 16’ flat trailer load of firewood for about 70 miles numerous times. I’ve also hauled a 6x10 enclosed trailer packed full of sound equipment hundreds of miles. Have also hauled just over a ton of scrap a handful of times. Very robust hitch that has given me zero problems.
I am very satisfied with the quality of the product. Very well made, all hardware was included, and instructions were simple. Would recommend an extra set of hands, heavy and awkward to install on your own. I also had a really great experience purchasing through etrailer which was expected. I have ordered through them before and I have ordered again since buying this hitch. Fast delivery.
Package came box beat all to hell poor packaging and was bent pretty significantly on the left side mounting plate will probably have to use a jack to get straight no installation instructions the hitch was just put in the box not secured in any way
Well made! Heavy duty for sure. Welds are nice. Coating seems very weather resistant so far. I installed on 94 Bronco this help sit trailers nice n level with 35in tires. Still think it's going to be ok at 37in tires. Recommended for lifted trucks. If installed on 2wd trucks better have ground clearance. Notice the deep side wings. But again very heavy duty. Does not sway or flex.
Worked perfectly, came with all hardware and very clear instructions. My only advise is have a set of very good drill bits. My 2nd hitch purchase from etrailer, and both times went great.
Only giving 4 stars do to shipping issues. No fault to Etrailer. The hitch arived with a few days as all their products do. Box was highly damaged but the hitch was unscathed. Altho there was no hardware in the box so i will have to sorce these as im sure they fell out do to all the holse in the box. Therefore inhave not installed yet but I did put it under the truck and it appears it will line up properly and only need to drill the 4 holes that are stated in the instal video on product page.
I installed this hitch on a 1991 Dodge W250. It hangs down lower than it needs to for the factory bumper and required drilling the frame to install the hitch. Drilling the frame and the overall installation went well, however there are existing holes that could've been used had the hitch been designed differently. I do understand this hitch is designed for several applications and in that situation it is difficult to make every vehicle a perfect fit. This hitch is very stout, I like the one piece design and the load rating. I have a 14,000 gvw flatbed that I haul a variety of junk on and this hitch is definitely up for the job. The next time I need a hitch I will definitely consider this one.

Still works great after several thousand miles of hauling heavy junk!
Ordered this receiver hitch and got it in two or three days. Easy to install using my floor jack to raise it in place on my 1994 F-250. For some reason the previous owner had put a class 3 hitch on. Love the hitch and the quick delivery. etrailer has always been my go to shopping
Great product,heavy duty!

Not a problem. Fit up was perfect. Well built would buy again!
Thank you etrailer! I received my hitch right away and the box was in good condition. I installed the hitch and it looks great. I bought this hitch for the increased tongue capacity over my old hitch.

My hitch is still working great. The finish is holding up great also.
With my bumper in the upper position on the brackets this hitch cleared. I was most worried about this as my drw truck has a clearance light below the tailgate. This hitch installed easily as per instructions.
Made in the USA quality!! Thank you very much!!
This trailer hitch is a great, sturdy hitch. I recently just pulled 9000 lbs of cargo from Memphis TN to Charleston SC and this hitch performed flawlessly. It's well made, and I anticipate years of reliable service from this product.
I put this on our 1993 Dodge dually after I noticed what looked like stress fractures on the old hitch while I was having an exhaust leak repaired. The failure was probably caused by an overloaded dump trailer full of gravel. The price for this Class V hitch from etrailer couldn’t be beat so I bought it. I’ve since pulled serveral large loads with my 3400lb dump trailer, the heaviest being a load of gravel weighing 5.67 tons according to the bill. More than 1000lbs shy of the 16000lb limit and it pulled great, even at over 60 mph.This hitch is heavy and well made. I use a forged ball mount with square tube clamp attached to make the assembly rigid. You’ll be amazed at how much this will quiten all of your towing. I feel like I got a great deal from etrailer on this hitch and wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again if we get another truck.
The hitch is extremely heavy duty and I highly recommend this product. Etrailer has great customer service, I received the hitch a day before the expected arrival date. I installed this on my 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger with the help of my 13 yr old grandson. This receiver hitch fit my truck perfectly, no modifications were needed. We removed the spare tire, drilled the holes and mounted the hitch per the instructions. The entire process took a little over an hour. I use a Shocker Hitch with an airbag, and it fits this hitch perfectly. I highly recommend Etrailer.
Hitch is fine, but the instructions for the Dodge pickups are wrong. instructions were poor and had you drill out your frame instead of utilizing the existing holes and aligning the rivets in the frame with the other hole. you do not have to drill any new holes, only enlarge 2 existing holes and everything lines up great.
Very happy with the product. Was able to install by myself in a little over an hour, fit like a glove and has performed flawlessly with the loads of firewood I've been hauling. Shipping was fast, and the overall experience with etrailer was absolutely fantastic. Etrailer was one of the only websites that had an accurate description of the frame width/depth dimensions that made ordering the right hitch a breeze. Would recommend Etrailer to anyone in the market for Heavy Duty/Standard Duty Receiver Hitches, and all other trailer needs. Thanks for the great product and will be hauling with this hitch for some time. Have a Blessed day
Solid hitch but horrible packaging. Entire powder coated finish garbage. etrailer’s solution? $[XX] off or they can send you spray paint, cheap $[XX} Lowe’s spray paint. I should have taken the $[XX]
One extremely tough hitch. I have a 1996 Ford F250, the body shop thought it wouldn't work. I got it home and with a lot of grunting and drilling (use a new cobalt bit), I was able to bolt it, one side at a time. When drilling, use some cutting oil that's used for black iron pipe (Oatey, found in plumbing will work).
To make sure your carriage bolt plate will seat flat, make sure to drill as close inward toward the center of your vehicle as you can, allowing yourself enough metal as is reasonable. Thanks etrailer for the expedited shipping and great phone help. I've attached some pics for those who want to see what it looks like installed.
I'm pleased with my purchase. I wanted the highest capacity for my 1988 F350 4WD Crew Cab, that I could find. This one at the time I selected it, had the second highest towing, distributed-towing, and tongue weight rating of all of them (that would fit my truck). There was a really nice Torklift that had double (stacked) 2x2 receivers with the best rating, but it was significantly more expensive, and the Curt I got matches my truck's max tow rating. I didn't set out to get the welded one-piece unit, but it just turned out that way. Having seen it in person, and installed it, if someone has a similar truck, I'd have no problem recommending. It's a heavy heavy unit, that will last the lifetime of the truck.
Very happy with the service and the products. My Ford F-150 pulls a big trailer, with a lot of equipment weight, so the hitch and accessories have to be heavy-duty.
I had a couple of questions, and they were answered within a reasonable amount of time, and I was able to order the correct parts.
The order arrived in record time. Everything fit as advertised. I've got a rock-solid trailer hitch now, that's up to the task.
eTrailer.com has my full recommendation.
I bought this product with the understanding it may not fit with my 10" drop bumper though it was designed for my application (1995 F350 DRW). Thanks to etrailer who gave detailed measurements in their FAQ section for the C15300, let me measure my truck and figured I could make it work.
It installed fairly straight forward like most hitches and I simply had to adjust the bumper brackets and use 3/8" (.375") x 2" bar stock to make spacer blocks for all the mounting points. It tucked up exactly like I wanted compared to the other options and it fit in place of the step bumper receiver plate I had in place.
I purchased the C15300 because I like the fully welded design and gusseting that leads to its ratings. I am very happy with my purchase and etrailer's product offerings.
I ordered the Curt trailer hitch receiver and also another kit that I thought we needed to install it. They called me and told me the kit I ordered was in the trailer hitch already. It saved me money for them to call and let me know. I really appreciated the info and that I didn't need it.
trailer hitch seems well built.Well made fit on the truck I was very happy with how fast they got shipped out and who got it to me.
Installed on 99 Ram 2500 4x4 long bed. Install took 4+ hrs. Had to torch off the old bolts. Had to drill new holes for 1 set of bolts. The safety chain loops are so thick that it is difficult to get my breakaway switch carabiner on.
All in all, super heavy duty, it fit with spare tire and 4” exhaust. Just properly block it up. I didn’t the first time, and it fell on my face.
The hitch came in perfect condition and looks to be super heavy duty. The holes on my 2001 dodge ram 2500 cummins lined up perfectly. I just had to enlarge the 2 very back holes from 1/2” to 9/16, easy install.

I am sorry that this hitch arrived in this condition. It is common for hitches to arrive slightly bent. They are made from mild steel, so that the mounting brackets may flex while in use. This could also cause the brackets to flex during shipping. I have a link below with detailed instructions on how to bend the brackets back in place.
