Ease the installation process with this hitch's bolt-on design, eliminating the need for any welding. It's crafted to fit effortlessly onto your vehicle’s frame, making it a hassle-free addition to your setup. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, this feature allows for a quick installation using the complete hardware kit that comes included.
Experience the unbeatable strength and tailored fit provided by robotic welding. This process not only enhances the hitch’s durability but also ensures it is precisely configured for your vehicle.

Super easy install once you got it up above the exhaust. Was able to install it solo but definitely easier with another set of hands. Directions and suggestions were all very helpful.
Really well made hitch. I did have to pry open the space between the back of the bumper beam and bumper cover a little to get the part that goes over the exhaust to slide in (just a hair too wide there) - but otherwise installation was a breeze. could do alone but one other person was helpful to hold one end of the hitch just until i got a bolt in.
What a great product. Easy installation, watch a few vids on how to do it. Took me 1 hour to do it by myself with help of some Jack stands and Jack.
Great hitch for my 2011 Ford Transit Connect! The biggest trailer I pull is 6x10 and I try not to load it down due to lack of proper engine power and the fact it’d likely fry the transmission. You could pull a pop up camper or tiny teardrop style but probably wouldn’t want to load it any heavier. The weight class III is good for 6000lbs and the Transit Connect is only reliable for 2000lbs at the absolute most. This thing is HEAVY DUTY for the vans size! I used a curt ball mount with a 4” rise (part #: C45070) which sits my trailers a bit higher than I had intended but they still pull fine with no sway.
Worked great easy to install.
Just finished took about 1 hour but was in no hurry. Instructions good fit like a glove.
Great customer service! Special thanks to John G for upgrading my standard 5-7 day shiipping to express 3-5 days; I actually got it in 2 days and the tracking was accurate, via UPS, and detailed (USPS take notice)! The instructions were easy to follow which made the hitch installation go very smoothly. Overall it took me maybe 45 minutes but i took my time.
Great hitch, easy to install with two people. Difficult to install all my myself. Would recommend! My hitch arrived ahead of schedule with standard shipping. Great product, great service.
Great company, will recommend to anyone
Was delievered in no time. Seriously took 2 days . I didn’t know my van could have a hitch but thankfully these guys make a product that’ll work. Thanks again for the incredible shipping time and the whole experience was absolutely seamless
i had to grind a little of my bumper in order to get it in place on my 2010. wasn't much but such is life...now i can more easily transport my ebike.
The hitch was easy to order, recieve, and install. Works beautifully on my little truck and done all I could have asked for. Defineatly recommend Etrailer for your next hitch and accessories , Oh, and great price too!!
Fast delivery, Great product! Installed within 1 hour
This is my 6th Curt trailer hitch I have installed on my vehicles over the years. As usual, it fit perfectly, did not interfere with any other parts and looks great after installation. I primarily use my hitches for bike transport but also tow a light aluminum utility trailer from time to time. Good product, fast shipping, excellent installation instructions.
The hitch installed easily, all holes were in exactly the right place. There is plenty of clearance around the exhaust. No rattles or vibrations from the installation. The hitch is capable of much more than the van is. I use it to pull a small sailboat.
Product fits exactly as stated and I was able to install it alone in about 30 minutes. I did pull my trailer around for about 10 miles and then torqued the bolts again because of the shape of the mounting holes on the hitch. Great design and great quality of the product so far. No rattling or shifting sounds while pulling the trailer which is a 6' X 12' wood bed utility. My 2013 Transit Connect is my work vehicle for heating and air and now I won't have to use my personal truck to haul equipment and then come back and my van to do the job.
Looks to be a good hitch. It was easy to install. I was able to install it myself in about 45 minutes. It installed exactly like the instillation video shows. Quick FREE shipping and great communication once I hit the buy button. It just doesn't get any better than that. Good experience and I will not hesitate to purchase from etrailer again in the future. Thank you!
Product was delivered on time as promised. The hitch was very easy to install with 3 people and ramps. All holes lined up accurately. Installation took less than a half hour. Used several times, with no problems.
