Most Popular Steel Shank - Gloss Black for 2021 Ford Explorer

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.

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.....

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

Works great used for 3 different trailer we have handy it's heavy well made.

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.............

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

Great deal on the Curt Class III ball mount with 2" ball. etrailer.com was great to work with. Ordered Sunday and delivered Wednesday. I'll definitely use etrailer.com again!

Perfect drop for Ford Explorer. 4" Drop very hard to find

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.
