Most Popular Steel Ball for 1997 Ford Ranger

I bought this drop down to tow my enclosed trailer behind my Humvee. Because of the nearly two foot ground clearance I wanted a sturdy hitch but still tow a level trailer. This fit the bill 100%. I was not disappointed in this unit. First of all it’s heavy. And that’s a good thing in my mind. Secondly it fit like a glove. Great powder coating and really sweet hardware. Every inch of this hitch is top quality. You can’t go wrong with the price or with etrailer. Best customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend you chose this hitch if you need a substantial drop and DON’T buy from anywhere but etrailer.

Should be the last hitch I need to buy, is rated for close to what a 2020 F150 with max tow package can haul, in pic mine is at 17.5 inches high which levels my trailers, I got the 10 inch drop but the 6 in one would have worked. Get the 6 in one for this truck if you are worried about it dragging off road. I got the 10 in to cover all future needs with any truck I may tow with

Nice piece - installation simple

All around great hitch, sturdy and slick looking! Makes hauling a lot smoother and more balanced. Instead of having to carry around 3 different hitches, this makes everything much easier.

High quality. Welds are top grade unlike a few of the discount drop hitches. It asl gives me the ability to use my backup camera and assist lines. I needed a good 9 inch drop hitch to pull my enclosed trailer with my 2020 Ford Ranger XLT super cab FX off road. I've got my vintage bike in the back and I needed to trust this hitch for long trips. It's perfect.

The product was shipped fast and the package was easily trackable. Good communication with the seller and good price. It appears to be made with high quality craftsmanship and finish. Easily changes between ball sizes and stows away for a clean look.

Works great! I use this hitch on a regular basis utilizing the ball on one use and pintle on the other. I often drive over rough terrain pulling a Tucker Terra Sno-Cat or a 50kW genset, this hitch handles the roughness. The universal hitch is optimum when hauling via pintle or ball.

It works good but to me it wears a little too much from the movement of the Pintle on the flat section where the pintle sits on the hitch

I am very impressed with the overall fit and finish of the ball mount. After tightening everything down per the instructions, the mount doesn’t move at all in the receiver and it maintains a true 90 degree vertical orientation in relation to the ground. I have towed both a boat and fully loaded utility trailer with it and have sensed no movement at all of the ball mount in the receiver and it’s as solid after towing as it was beforehand. My only recommendation would be to have the option of inserting a lockable hitch pin through the 2 ball mount instead of just the custom allen-type screw.

The mount exceeded my expectations in fit, finish and ease of use. I especially like the anti-rattle mechanism built into the head of the mount. I went through and inspected all of the internal pieces/screws and applied anti-seize for insurance although it appeared that this might have already been done when assembled. Time will tell on the durability of the mount but from outward appearances that won’t be a problem. One suggestion would be to include or at least offer the option of ordering a second security key. I also ordered the etrailer hitch lock which is a lot better and is far easier to operate than any of my previous locks. I would definitely reorder both if I had to replace them.

Perfect hitch foe my Ranger Tug. Love the flexibilty.

Still haven't towed anything with it yet but it seems very solid. I do think it will rattle some in the receiver because it is loose in my 2" receiver on my 2019 F150.

EVERTHING WAS EXCELLENT FROM PLACING THE ORDER TO RECEIVING THE PACKAGE AS WELL AS THE FOLLOW UP. WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND ETRAILER....

Not only did I get the parts I needed at a great price. They were delivered they day after I ordered them. Great communication from my salesman. I will definitely be a return customer.

Excellent product! With the three different ball sizes, this tri-ball mount gives you a lot of flexibility. Gone are the days of having several different ball mounts to fit different tongues. High quality construction makes this an excellent investment.

Have not used it yet but looks like it's a very quality product and can't wait to try it out

You guys are great. I really like the hitch. It's on my lifted Ranger. Thanks. I be buy more from trailer.

Very pleased with product, looks awesome on my lifted 01 Ford Superduty F-350. This 10 inch drop allowed me to keep my trailer level when hauling my 4 wheeler. Just in time for opening day.

Glad I bought this. Got it for a travel trailer that I picked up 500 miles away in western Montana. Wanted to make sure it would be some what level for ride home. Was able to lock down the latch on top which I thought was awesome!! No worrying about trailer coming unlatched.

Good Quality and quick to install.

Picked up my teardrop in ABQ on 2/17/23, and the Curt ball mount lined up perfectly with no drop/rise, and the extra length gave clearance for my rear door mounted spare tire. This mount is a beast, and the "overbuilt" nature of it gave me confidence that my Bronco would tow the teardrop easily. I also got the Curt Echo wireless brake controller, which synced easily to my phone and was easy to install, set up, and use. Overall a great towing experience, thanks to etrailer and Curt!

Very versatile - can use it on both my vehicles that have very different hitch height. Clean welds, super solid. Weighs a LOT!
