Best 1997 Ford Van Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

This item is really stout, and will give peace of mind when towing my 10,000 pound boat and trailer.

You can tow a house with this thing!

Great value and super-fast shipping! Can't beat etrailer's prices and selection! [Thumbs up]

excellent price excellent service and super fast shipping

Have not hooked on to anything yet but the quality is good.

Sturdy and feels strong / heavy. Love it, except for the part when I forget it is behind the van and run into it :)) Not pleasant. Easy to install and the drop is just right for my trailer. Before I used to have to raise the tongue all the way to the top of the jack, now it feels like it is just there. The trailer seems to be well balanced now.

Works well. With a 10K hydraulic lift trailer that only has a foot of clearance in the up position this did a good job of leveling the trailer, I rarely bottom out now, where as before transitions to inclines were often a problem Now the Van pulling it handles better.

Long length allowed me to add a hitch mounted mud guard kit. Have always trusted Curt products.

Extended out just where I needed it.

Solid, but requires allen wrench to adjust properly due to holes being a little loose in comparison to the pin size.

This hitch has worked out great for me over the last year. It’s very heavy duty and easy to adjust. I’ve hauled a 9,000 lb boat, long-distance on numerous occasions without issue. I also haul a landscape trailer on a daily basis weighing over 5,000lbs and haven’t had a single issue. Great hitch that was significantly cheaper than others and is very high quality. I’ve recommended it to several people and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. The only thing I would like to have now in a hitch is a tongue weight gauge, but it isn’t necessary.

Slightly longer, so you can open your tailgate with a cargo trailer attached. Trailers with a tongue jack that is forward are problematic for tailgates...

I’m pleased with the product and how prompt the delivery was. However the packaging was insufficient and the packaging was torn open all over. Scuffing of the finish is a result and of little consequence due to the intended use. It’s a stinger w/ball for motorhome. May I suggest better packaging in the future

The ball mount connects my 4x4 Ford Van to my Keystone Zeppelin 271 travel trailer. I needed a mount with a 3" drop and 10,000 lbs capacity, which this unit supports. It works as expected and needed.

definitely solid as a rock

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.

The Cushioned Ball Mount with an 8-3/4" Rise was needed to allow a 2004 Ford Van to tow my offroad capable Chalet Camp trailer. The Trailer sits level with the ball at ~20" off the road while this van's receiver sits at just over 11". The 10,000lb rating on this mount is way overkill for this 1500lb trailer but the cushioning should help avoid the "Klunk" sound every time we stop or takeoff. Thanks to Patrick and the Crew at etrailer for their help with this selection.

Excellent product, but I am writing this review about the service. Etrailer shipped these parts to a campground so I could install on my new RV. Service and shipping is excellent.

Fantastic prices with excellent service.. what more do you need a one stop shop. Thanks again, Pete

Its been a year and I aint broke it yet. I use this hitch to tow my 7Klb trailer. The trailer is tongue heavy and I needed something rugged to tow it with. Haven't had any troubles with this hitch.

Shipping was a mess, lost the first one in the mail somewhere because no one thought a 50# hitch would punch through cardboard. It is working as expected, but does not seem to be a true 2" drop.

Easy ordering, fast shipping and a quality product. I can't believe how much this Brophy Ball Mount Hitch weighs! Incredible.

I tried twice to get this hitch and ball from [online vendor]. Twice the shipment was lost and I had to get a refund. Shipment from etrailer is right the first time and arrived quickly. Plus, since the ball is already torqued on the ball mount, I don't need to by a large socket.

We’ve already installed it and hitched up the horse trailer. Works great for my needs. Half the weight of the much heavier weight distribution system we had been using (and will continue to use for Interstate travel). Hook up was fast and easy.

Good product and Good costumer service. Thanks

Bought to pull my boat with my Yukon and needed a drop hitch to level out the trailer. I wanted to buy a quality hitch, and let me tell you the B&W does not disappoint. Well engineered. It’s it heavy but when installed it is pretty easy to adjust height and ball size. Also supporting an American company is a plus!

I am using the hitch for a car dolly and a bike rack. The fit is a little loose for the bike rackmI'll see it really works when get on the road.

Quality is excellent. However, it did not work so I am not sure what to do with it. I thought I could use the top hitch for a Bike rack and pull a utility trailer with other toys. The trailer is too close to make a turn so good try but not able to use it. Thank you for asking. I did not open the box for a while because I was having the trailer worked on so assumed I waited too long to return.

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.

Heavy duty hitch. Well built and welds are fine.
