This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Incredible price on a great hitch from Curt. I have no idea how etrailer can offer free shipping on something like this, but they do. Awesome. I ordered the ball mount complete with 2" ball and pin/clip which was likewise priced extremely competitively. The hitch bolted up to my Transit T-250 easily. I took the extra step of running a tap into the (4) unthreaded holes on the van, but it's not necessary. For me, it just made the install a little easier and made me feel better. The new Transits are generally lower in the rear vs. the old E series van's, so I flipped the ball mount into the "rise" position to get the right ball height. Stated specs for the ball mount were 2" Drop and 3/4" Rise.
Installed it myself. Had some trouble getting self taping bolts started. Might be me.
I am 79 maybe 40 or 50 years ago I would not had to use method shown in attached photo. I have installed several of these trailer hitches and several base plats over the years.
Wow! Shipping was very fast. And, the only way installation could have been easier is, if etrailer would have done it.
Vey pleased.

Item has worked as expected.I would recommend.
Fit just as advertised, installed in less than 60 minutes. My only surprise was how hard the self taping inserts were to thread into, but this is a ford thing, nothing to do with the hitch. Be prepared to really have to muscle in the self threading bolts. My Bosch electric hammer drill was not strong enough to do all the threading, I had to the last half by hand. Great customer service, hassle free shipping. 2016 fort transit 350.
Shipping was quick. The hitch does have a few drawbacks. The finish was peeling and cracked when it came out of the box. I hit it with a little shake and shoot as you can't see it when mounted. The self threading bolts were a little less then desirable, I ended up using one to thread all the holes then switched them out.
For pulling toys behind my Ford transit 350 camper van, this hitch has proven to work flawlessly. More than adequate for what I am able to use it for.
As always quick and responsive order processing. Received my hitch and wiring harness in 4 days. Install of the hitch is simple, it took less than 10 minutes with the proper tools. (Impact is a must). Wiring harness connectors were a little off, easily corrected by shaving off the right side fin. If you want keep the wiring inside the van, remove the rear step trim and the driver side rear panel you can find power back there and save yourself running it all the way to the battery.
Well first off I received it within 3 days period it was very simple to install it was a total of 6 bolts and it took me and my son maybe 8 minutes all in to put it up. I think it's great especially for the price and it has some really good powder coating on it period I would recommend it
It came in great condition as the box is strong and it is pinned . It was super easy to install. I did it alone . Came fast and I am super happy

Great
Found the trailer hitch that matched our vehicle, ordered, it was here within a week (actually a few days) and was already easily installed by my husband.
This is the second time I ordered from etrailer.com and the second time I am entirely pleased with their service and expertise.My first order was a bit more complex as it was a towbar for our RV and Ford Econoline van.
Why waste time and money going elsewhere when etrailer.com has everything you need for a reasonable price and gets it to you in time for even a last minute trailer part need!

Still works great without issue!
The Curt trailer hitch receiver arrived very quickly and is in excellent condition. I have not yet installed but looks as if very simple to do.
Customer service was superior---prompt acknowledgment of order, and shipping details.
Thank you........David

We have no complaints on the hitch, we seldom use it but its good to have when we need it.
The Curt hitch for my new 2015 Ford Transit 250 did not end up being the "bolt on" item expected. My Ford did not have the threaded weld nuts that the Ford prototypes had. etrailer called Curt and discussed the problem while I was on the phone. etrailer was very helpful and gave me the contact info at Curt. This was a new but easy to solve problem that involved tapping the weld nut "blanks". I think the hitch is very well made, and I could not be more pleased with how I was treated by etrailer and Curt.

Works fine. Havent lost a trailer, and nothing is broken. What else could I ask for!
The rear bolts would not thread into the frame, I had to drill and tap the 4 bolts then the installation went fast. The front bolt on the passenger's side is blocked by the tail pipe so you can not use a socket on the bolt. It took about 2 hours to install. The trailer hitch looks great and works fine.

Still a good looking hitch and working hard!
Reference the "Curt Trailer Hitch" #C13193
Staff at etrailer very knowledgeable and most helpful. Product shipped and arrived when stated. Hitch fit absolutely perfect and all parts were included. Instructions were excellent. I'm 74 years old and I installed the hitch by myself
within an hour and 10 minutes. Good price, great product,

Great hitch, I love it, serves me very well. Would buy another one if needed.
Bolt on hitch was solid and easy to install. We used an impact gun to thread the bolt into the frame. Kit comes with 2 wires to fish the bolt and plate through the bolt on hitch. This made the whole process easy to install and took us less than 30 min to complete. We did however use a jack and a plank wood to hold up the hitch while bolting to the frame.

Great! We use it every weekend to haul the trailer around.
WOW! Really nice trailer hitch. Much heavier and better looking than I expected. Compared to a life time of trucks with hitches, this one is the heaviest construction and best welds I've seen. Nice job, well done.

Great! And the electrical works perfect.
The package came earlier than originally expected which was a pleasant surprise . But the box was completely open on my steps. I did not find any damage to the hitch. I do not know if the packaging of the heavy hitch was the cause or it was the handling by your shipping company. I have purchased hitches from etrailer in the past and this has never happened before with my deliveries. I did receive all the parts in the shipment. Thankfully they were all tapped to the hitch. The hitch is in good shape and I am very impressed with the quality of the product. Even though I had a issue with the delivery I would buy in the future.

Someone will reach out to you with a hardware list to ensure that you have everything.
Everything worked perfectly - I could not be more pleased! I am a novice and 30 minutes to install the hitch is very realistic. Using an impact driver helped a lot to get the self-tapping screws started. Thank you for the great product and installation information.

Still 5 stars!
Well made, fast delivery.
I would have loved to give this 5 stars, and it would deserve it besides one thing. The installation was entirely misleading. I had NO hope of getting those "self tapping" screws to thread by hand with a ratchet.
Being able to install this my self was important, now I can't. I don't have a impact wrench and that wasn't supposed to be a required tool. I had to take this to shop which cost me money.. bummer. The hitch is nice though...

According to Curt, the problem lies in the fact that Ford did not thread the nuts welded into the frame. The self threading bolts ARE indeed difficult to get in, to get them in by hand, youd need to apply quite a bit of pushing force while ratcheting the bolts into place. While keeping them straight. According to Curt, you do NOT want to use an impact wrench, as the rattling motion can damage the sleeves welded into the frame. The best way to do the install would be to use a 12mm X 1.75 thread tap to cut the threads, then install the bolts.
Hitch did not come out far enough from bumper
When I attempted to hook up trailer it hit the bumper
I had to buy extension and it solved the problem

Please keep in mind most hitch extenders will cut your tongue weight in half. I would recommend purchasing a long ball mount. Long ball mounts do not cut your tongue weight because they do not create an extra breaking point in the system. I have a link to part # D-26. This Curt ball mount will give you an extra 12-58 of length on your setup. If you need a shorter ball mount I recommend Draw Tite long ball mount part # 40330. Part # 40330 is 8-1/2 inches long.
Looks great
The hitch was very well made and fit perfectly. Completely satisfied, what else can you say, thanks etrailer.com

Still strong with no signs of rust or age.
I think the hitch will be ok, but I expected the wiring harness to be better. I was looking for one that was tailored to my 2020 Ford Transit T250 and with instructions.
I ordered a hitch and wiring for our church van.
I give this company a 5 + for your product.
The hitch was easy to put on but the wiring took a little longer but
I was able to get it on the van.
I would recommend this company for other products that they offer.

Using a bottle jack to exert upward pressure on the bolts is a great idea, but the easiest way to go would be to use an M12x1.75 thread tap to chase the sleeves before installing the hitch bolts.
