Most Popular No Ball for 2005 Ford Explorer

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!

Like the other items I ordered this arrived 2 days early and fit perfectly and is exactly what I needed for my 98 Explorer for towing a car trailer.....

I have a 2005 Ford Explorer and I always had trouble getting the loads level. Found this 6" drop drawbar on etrailer.com and it works great. My trailers ride level and smotth and save tire wear. Great product and great customer service. The e-mailed me everytime an action occured and I had the part in 2 days. Highly recommend the drawbar and Etrailer.com

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.

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

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

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.

Great product. Just as I needed. Very prompt delivery

Fast and efficient

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 !

Ordered this hitch and it worked perfect for what I needed just bought a teardrop trailer. Couldn't open up the tailgate on my Jeep so I ordered this extended hitch and I brought the ball out past my spare tire and the tailgate opens up now I have no problems. And I looked everywhere couldn't find one of this quality and at this price very reasonable the other ones hundreds of dollars didn't want to spend that much.

Hitch works great. Needed the 6" drop for my 2005 Ford Explorer with stock 1-1/4" hitch to tow my utility trailer.

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.

Very good product and great service, Thanks Rick

Not that many non-adjustable option for a 12” drop and this one is the best! Love the cushion and it’s very strong. I put that to the test today when I got rear ended with it in the back of my truck. This thing saved the back of my Ram. Came right back to etrailer and ordered a new one!

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

Heavy duty , very good quality.

The Convert-A-Ball is made in USA, appears to be high quality and just what I was looking for. The Draw Bar however was made in China The Convert-A-Ball appears to be high quality, made in USA and just what I was looking for. I needed a Draw-Bar to fit 1 1/4" receiver and with 1" shank hole, but nearest I could find was this Draw-Bar with 3/4" hole, so will have to drill out this one. Also was made in China, which I try to avoid although the quality appears to be good. Wish I had known that the Draw-Bar came with its own Pin & Clip so I wouldn't have ordered that separately, so now I have 2. This why I gave only 4 stars. Otherwise am happy with the order.

Fits as expected looking forward to towing pontoon boat this summer.

It looks like it will work OK. It fits and appears to be the right height for my utility trailer, but I did not get a pin to hold the unit into my receiver - just the product. The picture showed a pin and a clasp was included.

I cannot use this ball mount because the shaft is too short that goes into hitch receiver on my one ton Dodge truck. It does not allow enough room between truck back bumper and ball to allow any trailer tongue to be put on ball.

Purchased this hitch as a companion for our Reese anti sway control. The small ball for the Reese sway control fits in the bracket and the 2” drop on the hitch is exactly what we needed to have our Jayco camper level when towing.

Excellent hitch. I like that it is made from one piece of solid aluminum and so much easier to lock and unlock. No more fumbling around under the bumper trying to unlock the hitch pin.

Just what I'd hoped for. Extremely light-weight and easy to install/remove. Perfect mount for my new Jeep Cherokee!

Very good product and great service, Thanks Rick

Good, very solid ball mount with just the extra rise I needed, 2 3/4", to get level trailer and good clearance for the trailer jack. But excessive shipping charges from etrailer, $[XX] for an $[XX] purchase. Found out to my cost later that [online vendor] would have shipped for free.
