Most Popular 7500 lbs GTW for 1998 Ford Windstar

Just Alright - made in CHINA I ordered this per etrailer's suggestion to use with a Curt Class III Receiver Hitch on a 1999 Ford Windstar to pull a pop-up camper. The ball mount (which is made in CHINA) is built very solidly , but there seemed to be a lot of play once inserted into the Curt receiver. There was a lot of clunking around back there while either accelerating, braking, or simply pulling. I ended up wrapping the ball mount shaft with a layer or two of duct tape to tighten things up a bit and alleviate some of the obnoxious clunking. The Ford Winstar pulls great. The Curt receiver is as good as they get (and made in the U.S.A.). The Drawtight ball mount seems to be the weak link in my setup. Next time I'd go with a CURT ball mount. Plus CURT is made in the U.S.A

Works great, a little loose in the receiver just like any other hitch I have used.

Works great.

Longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with trailer attached. Replaced a similar but shorter Curt hitch and both are very substantial and well made for the weight of my trailer.

With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2" Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.

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.

etrailer is great! My hitch shipped quickly and was packaged well. Plus customer service has been great keeping me updated and staying in touch with my order.

Everything arrived on time and well packaged. I installed a Curt hitch receiver to go with this ball mount. Installation for the hitch went exactly as described and was fairly simple for even a novice like me. Very pleased with etrailer.com and with Curt brand products in general. Couldn't be happier with the process from beginning to end. And the hitch looks and works great!

Nice combination to go with my front hitch for the F150.

My order was missing installation parts, but the etrailer team were quick to correct the issue. Even without a lift, I was able to install the receiver and brake light cable quickly, thanks to their extensive video libray.

2024 CRV. Pretty straightforward install. The fish wires in the kit are a fantastic solution to holding the bolts. Thanks!

Haven't used it yet. I bought it because of CURT's quality. It was beat up in shipping though.

This 13" drawbar keeps the tailgate off the trailer jack. Being that long also keeps it I storage immediately after I disconnect the trailer. No need for a locking pin.
