Does not fit cab and chassis truck like described
So far looks good easy enough to install

It looks great! I am glad the install went easy for you. What are you planning on using the hitch for?
I received the hitch yesterday and just got it mounted. I couldn't be happier with it, is about as stout and well built hitch as I've ever seen, thank you.

Am still glad that I went with the curt, I will be getting the same for the next f-350,450 or 550 that I get
It's just like the add said, perfect fit. It only took 20 minutes to install

Its been a busy year of work, I pull a backhoe with the truck I put the hitch on and its holding up great. The paint still looks good. Ill definitely get another one if I get another truck.

great fit on 2011 single wheel cab & chaasis F350. Super heavy duty and well made with a thick powder coat finish. Much more robust than other hitches I have used or seen. I have bought two other "Curt" hitches since this one and have been just as impressed. 5+ stars
My 2019 f450 chassis cab had an end of frame fuel tank that had to be lowered to gain access to tighten the forward hitch bolts. Two of six mounting holes had to be drilled. Marking the hole location was easy as the other four boltz held the hitch in position for marking.
A floor jack is useful in raising and lowering the jack and tank.
Strongly suggest starting project with as little fuel in tank as possible.
Im very happy with the hitch and how well it fits. It is very beefy and i dont expect any issues from it in service.
The Good:
* The hitch is beefy, made from heavy gauge steel with good looking welds.
* Straight-forward installation.
The Bad:
* The rearward mounting flanges were splayed out bit, so I had to both bend them back in a bit with a come-along as well as clearance the rivet holes.
* The hitch labels were already peeling upon delivery. I had to carefully peel them off fully, remove and clean the old adhesive residue, and re-glue with industrial rubber cement.
* The shipping box from etrailer.com was inadequate and not up to the task. The box was only single-corrugated, and there was no packing material like foam or cardboard dunnage to keep the hitch and accessories from tumbling about in the box. During shipping all the staples ripped free, and the shipper's OS&D department crudely taped the box up with two whole strips of tape, but then during the final leg of delivery they ripped and it arrived open. The result is the hitch arrived scratched and scuffed.
Final thoughts:
The hitch seems well-built and heavy duty. But it does hang a bit lower than I would prefer. Drilling the two rear-most holes took a while, and I had to stop to sharpen the bit a number of times, the steel is very hard. The forward holes were already present, but had to be enlarged. With the fuel tank installed it is tricky but can be done.
The etrailer.com ordering process was easy and turn-around was fast, but the packaging was terrible. If I was not in a rush I would have sent the hitch back due to the scratches. I spent $300+ so I expected the paint to look nice and to protect from rust.

I has been nearly 3-12 years I have been using the Curt hitch C15845. In service it has performed exactly as one would hope, no problems of any kind experienced or observed. So other than the cosmetic issues I noted in my original review it has made for an excellent purchase.
does fit 2017 f 350, need to remove gas tank to install. DO NOT RECOMEND
Over all good fit keep in mind on my F-550 I need to low fuel tank not drop just Lowe in place.
Easy to install, good fitment.
Ordered this part and was left in silence for 4 days. I called etrailer and was told the part had not shipped yet. I asked if there were a better or similar part. The representative helped me find a better part for comparable price. I was instructed to cancel the original part due to it not shipping yet and they would send out the new one. An hour later I received an email that the cancelled part had shipped, and I could no longer cancel the item, instead when it showed up to me I could send it back for $[XX] shipping that I pay.! day later the wrong part and the right part show up together and the shipping box is demolished and has bent ears at securing points. Parts this size andd weight should not be sent this way, poor planning on etrailer side.
Just installed this the other day on a 2001 Ford F-550 cab and chassis. There were factory holes already for the two front bolts so I only had to drill the two in the back. Make sure you have a nice, new drill bit as drilling up from the bottom on the frame can be a bit of a task and a sharp bit will lessen that burden.
The size of this receiver is impressive, looks very sturdy and MADE IN THE USA!
Never recieved my hitch, never recieved a tracking number either, ups says it was delivered and its not at my house...sweet
Put this on my Sterling AcTerra
Mounting went well. Air bag made me mount it a little farther back but it ain’t going anywhere. Also didn’t have to move my taillights then.
My new hitch arrived and I was concerned because the box took a beating in shipping. Before I opened the box I called, explained what I received and the representative was great, they gave me their direct extension if I was missing anything. I was shocked when I finished opening the box - I was all bubble wrapped and on the corners it had a layer of cardboard and bubble wrapped again. The nut and bolts along with the instructions were all safe tucked into the tube and covered so they couldn’t fall out It’s good to see a company that cares about their customers experience not just their payment.
Very heavy duty hitch! Got it for my 2004 F550. Installation was tricky having a service bed on my truck and I did not want to drop the fuel tank to do it. Overall, very solid investment and shipping was fast.
Well made hitch. I use it to transport farm equipment with an F-350 cab and chassis dually
great service
Very good quality, fast shipping, fit like a glove. I would recommend this to anyone.
Works great so far! I had it over a year and it’s just what I needed
The trailer hitch was everything I expected. It was delivered quickly and all the hardware was included. I installed it on my F550. Nice quality hitch.

The trailer hitch worked put great and is still performing well. Thank you for the follow up.
Doesn't fit all advertised truck applications! Did not fit 2022 F550 crew cab 4x4 w/Douglass service body. The length from the rear mount bolts to the front are 16in while the available frame holes on the truck were only 12 1/2 in apart.

Sorry to hear that, Thomas. This hitch does state drilling is necessary for the install though, so it is not a bolt on application. It would be nice if it was, but alas, there are too many variations with cab and chassis models for that to happen. It looks like this goes for all the hitches offered for your vehicle as well. I do also have to point out that the only preexisting holes in the frame should be on the sides. You should be drilling four new holes (two on each side) for the bolts that go in the bottom of the frame. Is this not how you did it?
All in all the hitch is what it should be, the packaging lacks a lot to be desired. The box came all ripped and had holes all in it, two of the mounting angles were damaged, and a lot of touchup paint will have to be used. The two star rating reflects how it is packaged just in a cardboard box with no protection around the hitch itself.
Fit like a glove. Beast of a hitch. T hanks!
