Best 2018 Ford Edge Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

A year has passed with my Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned, Adjustable Ball Mount and I have nothing but praise for this mount. Once you find the correct height to have a perfectly level trailer there's no need to adjust. The beauty lies in the cushioning! Towing a Yamaha AR190 (3200lb boat and trailer combo) is silent. Even over the bumpiest pavement the tow is smooth. There is no harsh slamming when braking or taking off from the boat ramp. I don't know why everyone isn't running one of these, I wouldn't run any other hitch mount PERIOD! If you're on the fence, get off and buy one, you will NOT regret it!

Substantially reduced the bump & sway I was experiencing after adding a hinged gate on my trailer. The added weight on the rear wreaked havoc on my trailer handling when empty. Not helping matters was the 3" lift I'd previously installed on my truck, even though I currently had a 10" adjustable drop hitch already. Combination of the lift and extra weight on the back of the trailer tipped it over the edge.

As advertised and quick delivery, I am an Etrailer fan!

Strong and works perfectly!

Very nice heavy duty with powder coated black paint.....I’ve always been told, “ Bigger is better.” This should take care of any weight limits I’ll be using....delivery was on time..... Thanks Etrailer, you guys are the best....

No complaints about this draw bar. Powder coat was nice and shiny. Holes were in the right place, and welds were solid.

I have traveled across the US towing an overloaded Uhaul 12' trailer. The trailer was still behind me when I arrived, so the hitch functioned as promised. I did not, however, require the extra long hitch as suggested for my particular vehicle, but it will serve as an extra. Unnecessary purchase. My son has since purchased a hitch from etrailer for his new Ford Edge. We're both happy - very robust and well engineered product(s)

Very usable for my purpose, just I wanted..

I installed one of your Draw Tite trailer hitchs on my 2014 Ford Edge. However my carrier would not fold up without hitting my car. I just ordered a Draw Tite hitch for my wife's MKX and stumbled on this accessory which solved the problem. Hell to get old!

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.

The ball mount was a complete failure even after a lengthy discussion on the phone. I wanted a ball mount that would accept the rocker ball and anti-sway bar. The bar sent to me can't be used this way. An email and phone message to the sales person I ordered with, got no response.

Etrailer shipped my order the same day and the receiver is very well made and fit perfect.

GLORIOUS!!! Bought this item with zero experience, but much research. It is the best vehicle-related purchase I have ever made! Item performs exactly as advertised, even in spite of much abuse I have given it. Just because I could, I load tested it right at the edge of the max distributed towing weight, multiple times. No problems ever! Easy to install properly and safely!!! Well made construction! In my opinion, the best on the market at any price, but fortunately not the highest price by a pleasant margin!!!

Heavy duty , very good quality.

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.

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.

This was the longest hitch ball mount I could find anywhere. I used it with a short extension for my 2021 T G so that I could open the back doors without hitting the trailer wheel crank. With my new trailer, Intact Flyer Discover, I don't need the extension and can still open the doors. Works well.

Very happy with the fit and finish of the product. What I like most is the extra extension it allows for with out derating. My problem centered on tailgate clearence when in the open position. Tailgate would contact the edge of the tounge jack. This solved that problem plus now I don't need to carry seperate ball mounts for my boat or enclosed trailer

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!

I bought this hitch to fit my 2017 Ford edge. I'm impressed with the quality and sturdy construction. I will be using it to haul a U-Haul trailer. I would certainly recommend this insert to anyone looking for a fairly priced solution.

DON'T KNOW IF I WILL NEED THEM BUT I HAVE IT JUST IN CASE AND THE BAG CAME A FEW DAYS LATER. LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL WORK WELL

Installation was relatively easy. The hardware includes 6 fish wires that screw onto the threads of the bolts. Thought I might have to go buy them somewhere. And pulling bolt through the chassis was easier than I thought. The hardest part to the installation was reinstalling the muffler. The hitch is nearly flush with the edge of the bumper so you don't have to get a long insert. Some I saw online seem to be under the car and would require a longer insert. Bought the hitch with ball mounts and wiring harness. For DIYer its a piece of cake.

I needed an very specific ball mount(class I, 1/2" rise, 2" ball). etrailer had what I needed in stock and available to ship next day. I had the thing ordered in 60 seconds. Wish I wouldn't have waisted my time and gas shopping at my local hardware stores only to find they didnt have what I needed.

Perfect fit for my hitch and trailer. Pulled really well.

This ball mount has served it purpose well. I purchased a new travel trailer that is heavy enough to require a weight distribution hitch when using the factory installed Class III hitch on our Dodge RAM 2500. I decided to upgrade to a Class V hitch combined with this ball mount to take delivery of the TT in order to defer decisions about a WD hitch until the actual load conditions were known. The hour trip home with this setup worked very well. Once the trailer was outfitted I was able to determine the actual tongue weight of the loaded trailer and I decided to purchase an appropriately sized Reese Straight Line WD hitch. However, this ball mount comes in handy for moving the trailer short distances without hassling with the WD system. The purchase experience through etrailer.com was first rate.

I was surprised at the heft and quality of the ball mount. Shipping was fast, communication good, easy and informative website to use. Thanks etrailer, you have earned a new customer!

Purchased to extend the trailer away from the back of the vehicle, and increase the drop. Initially could not fit in to my receiver, eventually figured out that the end of the 2" square was mushroomed, had to remove excess metal with a rotary tool. now it fits as far as the first 5/8" pin hole. No issues with use - seems sturdy, metal finish seems durable. Didn't drop the trailer tongue as much as I had hoped, but that's on me - I was probably running a 3" drop before, but I thought it was 2".

Each time we go camping we look for ways to improve the experience, the C45230 will allow us run with a short or long ball mount, the longer extension allows me to open my tail gate without disconnecting from the trailer. I looked at other manufacturers but was only able to find what I was looking from CURT, and etrailer offered the best price.

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 have a custom made tow guard. The ball mount I have was too short to allow me to attach the tow guard to my new truck. I searched the web and found just what I needed at etrailer.com. It's the only site I found that carried the size I needed. The product fits my needs perfectly. I can now protect my boat from rocks and other road debris when towing. Thank you etrailer.com.
