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).

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 !



by:
2021 Ford Ranger

very easy install. I watched the trailer YouTube install video and then followed the instructions sent. Install took about 30 minutes with 2 people.



by:

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.

2000 Ford Ranger

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..



by:
2019 Ford Ranger

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.



by:
2019 Ford Ranger

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.



by:

Great Hitch. Easy install 1st job was a 3000# payload 1100 mi over mtns, S. Carolina to western NY. Would recommend e-Trailer and Curt Hitches.

Easy install (by my self) Hitch is doing just I as hoped, and expected a hitch woud do.

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.



by:

Great quality. Easy to install. Quick shipping. Highly recommend!



by:

Shipping was fast. Ordering process was simple. Install was easy (took longer to get out and put away the tools). After owning it a year and pulling many times, it is all good.
Don’t hesitate to order.



by:
2019 Ford 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.



by:

It's good. It is there a year later, don't Even think about it.



by:
2020 Ford Ranger

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!



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Easy to install.

Box on arrival had heavy damage. Powder coating chipped, but it’s a hitch, no big deal. You might want to talk to your shipper, or consider better packaging.

Customer Service will reach out to you about the dings. It is important to cover all scratches with anti-corrosive spray paint to ensure the hitch does not rust at an exceptional rate. There are more tips in the attached help article:



by:
2019 Ford Ranger

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!



by:

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!



by:

My installer was thrilled I bought the the unit I bought and a year later I am perfectly happy with my choice to buy from you. Your customer service people are friendly and knowledgeable and my hitch works great with towing trailers and my bike rack.



by:
2021 Ford Ranger

Install went exactly as shown in the video. Loosened the bolts with a breaker bar then spun them out with a impact raised the hitch into position hand started the bolts spun them back in with the impact and torqued them to spec. Now ready to tow my boat. Excellent install.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2023 Ford Ranger
    The Curt Class III hitch part # C13417 is a really great choice for your 2023 Ford Ranger. It has great towing capacities, installs easily, and is made in the USA. If you want to add a 7-way all you'd need the Tekonsha # 22124.

  • How To Tell If 2021 Ford Ranger Lariat Has The Factory Tow Package
    If your 2021 Ford Ranger has the factory towing package it will have a factory installed trailer hitch receiver, and a 4-way/7-way connector. If you do not have these components then your truck does not have the factory towing package. I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13417, and the Curt T-Connector 7-way Connector, # C56431. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below.

  • Will etrailer Hitch e63ZR Fit 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor With OEM Rear Tow Hooks?
    Hello Rick, thanks for reaching out. I can confirm that the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e63ZR will fit your 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor and the OEM tow hooks will NOT need to be removed. The hitch will clear easily. Take a look at the picture below. This shows the Curt # C13417 installed on a Ford Ranger Tremor with tow hooks. The Curt # C13417 is structurally identical to the etrailer # e63ZR hitch, so this is exactly what it will look like after installation. Our etrailer hitch uses a matte...

  • Differences Between Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2023 Ford Ranger?
    The only difference between our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR and the Curt # C13417 for your 2023 Ford Ranger is the finish. Our receiver is manufactured by Curt as we selected them for their outstanding quality and attention to detail. While their receiver has a gloss black powder coat finish we have our receiver finished in a matte black powder coat finish. I personally feel the matte black is a better finish which has a more factory appearance. I recommend installing the...

    Yes, we do have a Shocker Hitch that will work great with the Curt Hitch item # C13417 on your 2023 Ford Ranger. It is the Shocker Hitch Air Cushioned Ball Mount item # SHK89VR. This cushioned ball mount has a 10,000 lbs capacity and comes with a 2" hitch ball. It will provide you with 4-1/2" - 7-1/2" drop.

    The main difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e63ZR and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417 for a 2021 Ford Ranger is the finishes on the hitches.

  • Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Ford Ranger

  • Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit With Larger Spare Tire On 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor?
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR will fit your 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor. I have included an image sent in with a review showing the Curt # C13417 which is identical in construction to ours with the larger spare tire used on the Tremor. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56431 will provide you with a 7-way connector which you can mount using a Bracket # C67UR. If you need it to tow a smaller trailer you will need an Adapter # PK12716.

  • Will The Curt Or etrailer Hitch Maximize My 2021 Ford Rangers Towing Capacity?
    You are not necessarily incorrect about your 2021 Ford Ranger being limited to 3,500 pounds, but there is a caveat to this. The 3,500 pound tow rated is only when you are using the bumper as a hitch. I included a picture showing what I mean by that as well. When using a conventional hitch, like the Curt # C13417 or etrailer # e63ZR, you are looking at a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. This means you also have 750 pounds of tongue weight and will indeed have a lot more options for...

  • Can Any Hitch be Used for Towing with a 2022 Ford Ranger
    According to the 2022 Ford Towing Guide if your 2022 Ford Ranger has the 53R towing package then you can tow up to 7,500 lbs. To meet the full towing potential, you could either use the Curt Hitch # C13417 for the etrailer hitch # e63ZR along with weight distribution. The weight distribution will increase the 6,000 pound capacities of this hitches to 8,0000 pounds which is more than your Ranger allows. Without the 53R tow package it looks like Ford calls out a 3,500 lb towing weight...

  • Recommended Ball Mount and Trailer Ball for 2019 Ford Ranger
    I'm assuming you're wondering which ball mount you're needing. When installed, the receiver tube will be about 19 inches off the ground, given that the average trailer coupler height is 17-18 inches, I'd recommend the # AMSC2 which offers a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop, depending on the orientation you use it in. For a 2 inch ball, use # 63845 or # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

    Yes, the maximum gross towing weight capacities of the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13417 and the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e63ZR matters when installed on your 2021 Ford Ranger. The combined weight pulling outward from the back of the hitch receiver cannot exceed 6,000 pounds.
