FAR exceeds expectations--is what I'd write about eTrailer.com
It began with my purchase of a new Ford Transit 250 cargo van, which came without a trailer hitch. Even though my wife and I do not (yet) own an RV, we intend to purchase one--and will of course need a trailer hitch--as we approach 'retirement.'
I mentioned all this in passing to a friend,. who asked if I'd heard of eTrailer.com.
Went to their website, entered my vehicle information and was very pleasantly surprised at what was available for my new van.
I chose a Class 4 hitch, with a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. It was delivered via UPS (with free shipping) and arrived three days BEFORE eTrailer said to expect the package.
Installation went extremely smoothly, thanks to clear instructions, website photos/videos and also a product that fit my van's undercarriage frame perfectly.
I will definitely use eTrailer again for future accessories like the wiring harness and other items. They've also got EXCELLENT customer service.
Great job, eTrailer!
I was skeptical at first because I was looking around and there was no one that had a trailer hitch that match my van. I found this company online and they said it will fit guaranteed so I purchased a hitch before I bought any of the other accessories needed the harnesses and everything just to make sure and within 30 minutes I had to hitch up done and installed
This is a ford transit 350 HD
It was hard to install the hitch. I contacted etrailer and got recommendation to use some more force to install the hitch. With the jack I was able to push the hitch into position. Now it won't move anymore, and I like how it is installed

Weve been using the hitch frequently for towing boats and bringing our bikes. Works nicely.
Never worked so hard to install a hitch as I did this one. First, I literally waited MONTHS for it to be built and shipped. It fit so tight between the frame rail that I had to beat it into place with a sledge hammer. Lastly had to drill a hole on the passenger side 1.5 inches from where the recovery hook had been bolted. Curt could have utilized that hole just by moving the tab a little bit. On the driver side the provided bolt was just a smidge too long due to the way ford build the frame rail/bumper mount. Had to modify the bolt so it could drop in the hole.
Good hitch, not so good install. Installed on 2019 Ford Transit. Hitch is rated for more than Ford's towing weight spec's. But I like to go a bit bigger when possible. The four horizontal bolts and the two passenger side vertical bolts lined up perfect. The two vertical bolts on the driver side did not line up well. The rear vehicle favored bolt hole needed to be enlarged on the hitch and truck to line up. This required putting the hitch up and down checking bolt fit. This was not easy since the spacial sizing of the hitch is a bit off. The side to side dimension of the hitch is about 1/8" too wide to fit between the frame rails of the truck. 1/8" is not much, but with tolerances between steel on steel it makes a big difference. It's easy to see what is wrong. The frame rails have an extra reinforcement metal wrap on a portion of the passengers side. Due mostly to the factory tow hook mount (tow hook needs to be removed and is not stated in instructions - reinforcement mount cannot be removed). A measurement between the rails not including the reinforcement area would match the hitch dimensions. A measurement between the rails including the reinforcement would be 1/8" or so less. Perhaps Curt engineers did not account for the reinforcement. The attached pictures show a single layer frame rail on the drivers side and a triple layer reinforced frame rail portion on the passenger side. This required me to use a hydraulic floor jack to press fit the hitch into place. This coupled with the misaligned bolt holes made for unnecessary complexity. Removing the hitch to enlarge holes required bar leveraging to squeeze the hitch back down, then jack back into place check alignment, than leverage down, drill, repeat. Again, good hitch, not so good engineering.
The hitch was a little bit more work than normal to install, but nothing that average Joe can't handle. That said 4 hands would make it much better. I use my hitch for motorcycle le carriers. We have done a out 3000 Miles with 2 bikes on the hitch(about 500lbs) with the rack included and it's leveraged 4' out and have no issues at all. Great hitch
Do not buy. Not even close to fitting. Does not fit between a 2021 Ford Transit 250 frame rails. And the holes on the tabs were 5/8" from aligning with the frame holes. Also if I drilled out the tabs to make it fit, there would only be 1/4" of material left on the tab. Am returning mine. Upsetting.

From your photo, it looks like you have a cutaway model or cab and chassis which this hitch does not fit.
Product is solid, directions were fairly clear (had to deviate a little for a whole that was not exactly as described), and the whole purchase to delivery was painless.
Thanks eTrailer!

Great!
One of the more difficult trailer hitch installs I've done. Barely fit between the frame rails had to use a jack and the full weight of the vehicle to get it to actually fit & all but one of the holes on the tabs that bolt to the bottom of the frame lined up, had to drill one out. In the end I got it on there, but it certainly wasn't an easy install. If there was just a little more play in the bolt holes it would have been much easier.
Supper fast shipping and great price
It’s been great
Was a very easy install
Your support videos on all trailer related projects are amazing!
Very quick response and delivery was pa inless!
This class for hitch has been a great fit for us! Could not be happier with this product.
Good Hitch, except on a 2018 350 xlt with the rear step bumper, the width is a slight bit too wide considering the bumper brakets also being attached to the rear tube frame. Actually, No amount of sledge hammering would cause the hitch to slide in between the two frame members. I had to actually jack the hitch up and the weight of the van forced the hitch inbetween the tube members. it had to be lined up perfectly before this otherwise the bolt holes wouldn't line up and the whole installation was screwed because there was no amount of sledge hamering that would budge the hitch. Also some of the holes were too small for the bolts and had to be drilled out. This all should have been in the instructions, but was not. The 30 min. installation took 3 hours.

The installation is more involved install. I recommend watching the video that we have on a 2019 Ford Transit T350.
The trailer hitch is working just great, It was easy to install if I remember right we did have to do some drilling but no big deal.
The package arrived within the expected time frame. The box was slightly damaged but the hitch appears fine. All the bolts etc was present. Something I did not anticipate is the weight of the hitch and lifting it in place while bolting as well as the need for a torque wrench. After some consideration I decided to have a mechanic instal the hitch for me. Hopefully he can do it in one hour of shop time. If I had a lift and a helper I'm sure I could do it in an hour or less.

Used the hitch to hold a heavy duty bike rack on a 6000 mile trip. No issues. I dont anticipate any problems. The hitch feels like it is part of the trucks frame. The vehicle is a Ford Transit 350 converted to a camper. The cost to have a pro instal the hitch was $100. That did not include wiring for a trailer. Estimate on a pro wiring job is another $100.
Installation was a breeze, been on vehicle for a year and works as desired. Thank you again etrailer for the fast and easy shipment and ordering.
Sturdy!!! Great fit for the Kia Sorento. All the holes aligned well.
I have installed many hitches and this one was rated as easy. It did not fit well between the frame rails and I had to use a hydraulic jack on both sides to allow weight of van to push into place. The end product is acceptable but not made to fit 2020 Transit.

This hitch is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ford Transit T250. But please note that the hitch will not fit a cab and chassis or cutaway models.
Purchased hitch for a special project. Worked out perfectly!!! Thanks etrailer!!!
Working as expected, real easy installa tion.

Very pleased with the product
This was a great product and was easy to install just as advertised.
Apparently either there have been some changes in the newer transits or the extended body models use a different rear bumper and mounting system. the drivers side was as shown in the instructions as far as drilling out a small hole in the frame/bumper mount but the passenger side had a "recovery hook/loop" that needed to be removed.
I installed the hitch using the 4 bolts adjacent to the spare tire (loosely) to make sure everything lined up and drilled the holes once the hitch was in place. The drivers side used the hole that needed to be enlarged but the passenger side had no small hole so I used the hitch as a guide. I installed the bolt and reinforcement and found that one of the weld nuts inside of the frame for the recovery loop interfered with the reinforcement plate seating flat inside the frame I was able to draw the nut down to the 110 FtLb spec without a problem but I would think the plate that goes inside the frame could be trimmed on one end to allow it to seat properly inside of the frame.
Other than that the hitch fit nicely and is tucked up fairly well under the bumper. The finish on the hitch is very nice as well!
Sorry I did not take any photos during the installation!
I was surprised at how easy the installation was on my 2018 Ford Transit. I did not experience any of the alignment difficulties I had read about in various reviews. After several trips towing my car trailer (approx. 5200lb gross weight) including a cross country and back trip there have been no problems with the Curt Trailer Hitch.

It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a FAQ that can assist with moving the side brackets of the hitch back into alignment to allow for installation.
