Question:

I am interested in purchasing a Trailer Hitch for a 2010 Ford Transit Connect. This is a four cyclinder van. I am in the appliance repair service business and sometimes I do have to hall a refrigerator or a washer, etc. This does not happened on a regular bases. I do own a untility trailer and in actuality I will not hall very much or very often. I would prefer to be contacted by email. Thank you,

The Curt hitch part # 13076 is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Ford Transit Connect and would be a great option. It has plenty of towing capacity at 3,500 lbs total trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight plus the hitch is made in America.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 56090 which is also a confirmed fit for your vehicle.
