Say goodbye to complicated installations! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is designed for the DIY-er. It bolts directly onto your vehicle's frame using existing hardware—no welding or complicated modifications are needed. Whether you're a seasoned installer or a first-timer, you'll have this hitch on your Ford Ranger in no time.
When the road throws salt and water your way, you need a hitch that's up to the challenge. The CURT hitch is made with powder-coated steel, offering excellent resistance against rust and corrosion. This robust construction ensures that your hitch remains in top condition, season after season, no matter where your adventures take you.
Adjusting trailer heights just got easier. The Curt hitch's 2-inch receiver opening works seamlessly with a variety of ball mounts, enabling you to achieve the perfect trailer height for your needs. Whether you're hauling a small utility trailer or gearing up for longer trips, you'll find the right height effortlessly with options like the adjustable Shocker Hitch.
Built for strength, the CURT hitch boasts impressive weight ratings. With a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and 8,000 lbs when paired with a weight distribution system, this hitch offers the muscle needed for both daily hauls and heavy-duty tasks. Its 900 lbs tongue weight capacity ensures secure towing no matter the load.
For those who seek a sleek look, the CURT hitch’s glossy black finish is not only visually appealing but also adds an extra layer of protection. It blends seamlessly with the vehicle's underbody design, ensuring your Ford Ranger looks as good as it performs on every trip.
Invest in quality and support local manufacturing. CURT hitches are meticulously assembled in the USA, reinforcing a commitment to high standards and quality craftsmanship. It's a hitch that stands for durability, reliability, and American pride.
You may be the best customer service oriented business I have ever worked with for anything, period! This may be the only trailer mount I ever order, but if anyone asks you have my loyalty.
This trailer hitch worked perfect for my 2022 Ford Ranger with Tremor package. I have the larger Tremor tires so I ran out of space for both the hitch and my spare. Thankfully, I just lowered my spare, finished the hitch install and everything settled in when I tightened the spare back into its place. I'm not overly impressed with the bolt on wiring harness bracket that I had to install after, but it works fine and does the trick. I would recommend this set up for anyone needing a tow package for their Ranger. etrailer was great to work with and provided exceptional customers support.

I really appreciate your review, Luke! It's nice knowing some of the details of the install and what you did as a work around with the spare. Thanks! :)
Very easy to install. Having clamps to hold the bump up makes the install go smoother and faster. Either have a floor jack to help lift the new hitch into place or have a friend to help lift into place. Would recommend this hitch. Fits the Ford Ranger perfectly.
Look, I am no wrench turner, but can do basic automotive tasks. This is easy. I didn't have a torque wrench, a lift or any fancy tools. I lowered my speare tire, used a hollow jack handle attached to my socket wrench, clamped the right and left frame tabs, removed 4 bolts (2 each side), and it fit like a glove. Applied a little bit of grease to the threads and torqued it back in place. As you can see, without the hitch, it is flush and doesn't protrude from the bumper. Made in America! Perfect fit! Easy install. Thanks etrailer!

Have been hauling by boat now for a year it is as solid now as it was the day I installed it. No rust, I expect this will outlast the life of the truck.
The trailer hitch is well worth the money. It installed with little effort. I recommend etrailer to anyone looking for an affordable trailer hitch.
Great product! Install was pretty easy and I’ve had no issues over the last year I’ve used it.

Great! Works as expected, no issues at all.
Works perfectly with my very heavy duty bike rack
New hitch was delivered quickly. Easy to install. 2019 Ranger has a tab on the bumper and frame that I was able to temporarily use a bolt and nut through to hold the bumper in place while the bumper bolts were removed to position the hitch. I used a floor jack to position the hitch and then bolted it into place. Took about 30 minutes to complete installation.

Hitch has worked out great. Doing its job.
The hitch fit perfectly as far as the main mounting points. However, I had to cut some of the aluminum muffler shielding. When I got done it was perfect! I've bought 3 hitches from you (all for sedans) and I'm very satisfied.
Easy installation, 4 large bolts removed, and reinstalled with a Curt hitch, 45 minutes max.
Thank you

It’s still working great!
2”21 Ranger Lariet with rear tow hooks will still work with this hitch. At first it does not look like it will work. I loosened my spare and then installed the hitch and it worked out fine. Spare and all !
Installed myself without a hitch , works perfect

Works perfectly no issues , I installed this hitch myself on a 19 ranger
Easiest receiver hitch I've ever installed! Used two quick clamps to hold the bumper to the frame per the instructions. 1/2" cordless impact gun zipped out the four bumper bolts. While laying under the truck, lifted the receiver up into place. Started one bolt on each side to hold the hitch. Started the two remaining bolts by hand, tightened all four with the impact. Removed the quick clamps, tightened to torque spec with a Snap-On 1/2" torque wrench. Done is less than 10 minutes.
Great hitch. Easy to install
Beware, does NOT fit TREMOR model. Spare tire does not fit probably after hitch.

I did reach out to the manufacturer and while it is a tight fit, it is ok for the spare tire to touch the back of the hitch.
The Curt hitch was on backorder and arrived much quicker than expected. It was a simple install, only took about 15 to 20 minutes. One note of caution, the torque value in the instruction sheet states 196 ft-lbs, should only be 146 ft-lbs for a 2019+ Ranger. Once installed, it looks great on the truck.
Thanks to etrailer for offering a great product and great service!
Everything installed okay on my 2020 Ford Ranger XL. The existing bumper and frame bolts were used to mount the Curt bumper. The wiring harness was a quick plug-in.
Perfect fit for my 2019 Ford Ranger! Instructions were good and install took 15min.
I recently purchased a new truck and needed a class3 hitch for it. I shopped everywhere for the best price and best hitch. After watching the video on installing the hitch I realized that it wasn’t rocket surgery and I could do it myself. It actually took longer to find my tools than it did to install the hitch. I was afraid the hitch wouldn’t fit over the chain bracket on my new Ranger. WRONG!!! It fits perfectly. Did I mention that it was delivered less than 48 hours from the time I placed the order? Free shipping. Perfect fit. Easy installation. Fast delivery. Lowest price. etrailer has definitely earned all my business.
Received the hitch quicker than I thought.
Arrived in good shape.
I watched the installation video before hand, so I was pretty much prepared. The actual installation would have been much easier if the guy in the video had been delivered along with the hitch - lol -
I had pretty good clearance under my Ranger, so I didn’t need a lift. I propped the hitch up on a 5 gallon bucket and was able to maneuver it into the bumper slots by myself. Definitely would have been easier with a second set of hands, but this 74 year old dude did it by himself in about an hour! Hardest part was getting the bolts out and tightening to the prescribed XXX foot pounds. (I’ll ask a mechanic friend to check that with a torque wrench later).

Great so far!
Hitch set in place very nicely and bolted up centered to fit my 2019 Ranger took about 15 mins to set and install. Video for the install on you tube matched directions perfectly (if your Ranger did not come with a hitch this is also a great price range ) looks like it was made of good quality material and the welds are good with no gaps. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. GOOD JOB!
Installation instructions were great. Especially the use of clamps to hold he bumper in place when removing the four bolts to mount the hitch bar.
This Curt trailer hitch receiver is solid! Very heavy duty with a gloss black finish. It bolted right onto my Ranger right out of the box and required zero drilling. The best part was the free shipping was amazingly fast, placed the order on the 27th and installed it on the 29th. Very happy with my choice to go with etrailer!
I ordered a trailer hitch for my 2000 twent. A Ford Ranger on the 20th of November received it, November 22nd and it's already on my truck installed. It's a little hard to install it yourself. But it's duable and I've did it myself long as you've got a couple jacks holders or some kind of blocking to hold the Hitch up till you get the 4 bolts in and that's it..
Easy install. 30 minutes complete. Two vise grips, two jack stands, 21mm socket and the install is a breeze.
