This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.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 !
very easy install. I watched the trailer YouTube install video and then followed the instructions sent. Install took about 30 minutes with 2 people.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
Easy installation, 4 large bolts removed, and reinstalled with a Curt hitch, 45 minutes max.
Thank you

It’s still working great!
Great design, easy install (4bolts), high quality. Would recommend.

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.
Great quality. Easy to install. Quick shipping. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
It's good. It is there a year later, don't Even think about it.
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.
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.
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:

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!
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!
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.
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.
