Best 1999 Ford Explorer Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

I bought this product along with the trailer hitch and wiring harness. No issues with anything provided. I installed the kit on a Saturday and was towing a trailer 800 miles on Monday. Great website, I highly recommend Etrailer to anyone needing trailer items and accessories.

This is very good quality. The product was shipped a express shipping at no extra cost to me. I had indicated standard shipping. But the company on its own did the express shipping. The product is very durable and well made. The canvass bag that comes with the product is sturdy and able to hold all of the items with no problems. I found this company by just hitting what size receiver for my 2015 Ford Explorer. Other then that I didn't know about them. A terrific company in which to do business with. I certainly will be a returning customer.

Didn't realize that the unit came with a pin and clip so I ordered one. Now I have 2. No problem. Good product and it was delivered 2 days earlier than anticipated!

Good fit into the receiver. The hols for the ball was a little larger than I expected, so will have to get a new one.

Exactly what I needed to tow my boat trailer. So easy to find on web site and a very quick delivery time. Very pleased with the entire purchase process and quality of product.

Product delivered in a timely manner and I really like that it was already assembled and ball was tighten to factory torque specs leaving out guesswork. Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs Item # C45036

Everything was as expected. Installation was a piece of cake after watching the very much appreciated video on etrailer.com. The hitch is very sturdy and fit like a glove. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Great design, easy install. Runs a touch low but that's how the back of Ford Explorer is designed for after-market installs. I would have probably purchased a hitch with upright assembly if possible.

This hitch fits my Explorer great. My camping trailer & utility trailer now pull level. I only wish the hitch reached a little further into the receiver. It seems a little short to me.

I am using this on a 2010 Ford Explorer and a 5 x 8 open trailer with 12 inch tires. This worked great to get the drop needed so the trailer is level.

Item as described and picture. Very fast service and shipping.

Excellent customer service. Received my order in less than 48 hours after placing the order. Was kept up to date on the order status frequently.

The 2" receiver hitch fit perfect on my 2004 Ford Explorer XLT. I could not be more pleased with the product and most of all the professional and polite manner that etrailer handled the sale. Plus etrailer is the most affordable site I could find. I received the hitch in only two days...WOW. I will recommend you to everybody. Thank you. Freddie

Nice looking ball mount. Coating looks nice and it seems to be a solid piece.

Worked perfectly with my standard Ford Explorer hitch 2003. Service at etrailer was great, and hitch arrived in timely manner.

perfect for my needs - great price; great service

Product arrived ahead of schedule due to upgraded shipping at no extra cost. Order was accurate and appears to be high-quality. Obviously, I won't know for sure until I take it out with a trailer a few times, but I am glad to find a product that can tow my car and carry my bike rack at the same time!

They give you the exact fit as described. And fast delivery

Fits our VW Touareg perfectly and allows us to tow a variety of things now. As can be seen in the pictures the hitch has a +5-inch gap between the bumper and the vertical adjustment pillar and the trailer itself is out further so there's enough room to get to the rear hatch and maneuver the vehicle/trailer.

I needed a hitch that I could haul my work trailer with and still drop the tailgate without dropping the trailer. I looked on etrailer and found one that would work barely but decided to call etrailer and see if anyone had any ideas. Steve answered and looked after I told him my requirements and came up with this. This has a longer distance from ball to pin by a few inches compared to the one I found so my tailgate will still drop even if I’m at an angle to my trailer or on a hill. Also with the adjustable height it’s great. Awesome hitch. Solid for a good price. ??

As advertised at a good price. I need the drop down for my Ford Explorer, as the hitch receptacle on the bumper is too high for my trailer to be level without the drop. Works well.............

I needed a 6 inch drop ball mount for my new utility trailer. I knew that Etrailer would have a quality product to fit this. Curt is a great product.

Great product. Just as I needed. Very prompt delivery

Fast and efficient

Exactly what I needed for my new Ford Explorer. Great product and fast shipping. The bag keeps it from rattling around in the storage compartment.

Thank you etrailer for the quality products I received early last year. We needed a trailer hitch to install on our Subaru Forester for our move from Gig Harbor, WA to Spokane. We received the hitch hardware including the tow bar and electrical harness. The entire process took 4 hours. The installation process went off without a hitch (bun intended) using detailed videos I found online. Thank you etrailer.

Product came just as described and fit perfectly for what I needed. I used it for a hitch mounted on the frame of the rear of my fifth wheel rv. Hitch was mounted at the very end of the I-beam style frame i had on rv but I wasn't comfortable with the length of a standard size ball mount receiver. It needed to be longer. This product was exactly what I needed to complete my rv hitch setup. Thanks e-trailer !

Very happy with this ball mount - provides just the amount of drop we required for a level tow of our GeoPro travel trailer by our RAM2500. Plus, the extra length not only allows a tighter turning radius, but also allows us to lower the truck tailgate without having to detach the trailer. Huge improvement on all accounts for us compared to our prior setup. The product is well built and I'm confident will provide us years of good use.

Very pleased with etrailer. Very easy to order from website. Fast delivery, easy to install ,perfect fit . Thanks. .

Perfect fit for 2 inch Draw Tite receiver. good price, fast shipping.

Arrived today. Fast shipping, and thank you for that! Seems to be a quality ball mount. Just what I needed to get the ball lower to tow my trailer. With this, now the top of the ball is at 16" where it needs to be. Custom built receiver on my old moving box van. Just need to weld on safety chain slots and paint it. Can't drop the lift gate with the receiver in (its pinned on both sides), but hey....I can tow now.

Tow infrequently; got new(to us) 2015 RAM 2500 pick up to tow our 38’ touring travel trailer. Have a HD WD hitch & adjustable sway control hitch set up we use for this trailer, but needed a drop hitch for our smaller Travel trailer& misc use haul trailer,,,,both much lighter & do not require the sway control set up. This drop hitch & ball fit the bill perfectly as the needed drop did not provide suffice t ground clearances to utilize the WD hitch mount setup (which was not needed) for those smaller loads. E-trailer worked w us to get the product we needed & an option that was inexpenve but sufficiently rated to pull our smaller trailers! Very happy our results !

Awsome ball mount that allows me to open the hatch on my explorer while towing my boat.

The Extra Long Ball Mount proved useful immediately upon receipt. Delivery was prompt, and the updates from etrailer.com helped plan transport of several bicycles, simultaneously with a camper trailer. The extended length facilitated use with a Swagman bicycle rack, also purchased via etrailer.com. The product arrived in excellent condition, with correct capacity rating, and works perfectly, and in conjunction with the bicycle rack. I recommend purchases from etrailer.

Nice product

Easy to use. Stows away to avoid bumping knees. Would have given 5 stars but it’s expensive. I would still recommend.

Heavy duty , very good quality.

This was purchased for towing a 7k GTWR utility/landscape trailer with my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 WT 4x4. I measured for necessary drop before ordering, and the 4" drop is darn near perfect. It's a great help that the 2-5/16" ball comes complete, installed and torqued properly at the factory. Appears to be quality construction, fits and functions perfectly. I have no complaints or issues.

WHat a difference having the right drop has on handling. A great product - highly reocmmend.
