Expert Reply:

For your 2017 Ford Transit T150 I suggest the Draw-Tite # 75912. This is a 2 inch, Class III trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your van. All of the hardware is included and no drilling is required for installation.

If your Transit does not have the factory tow package you can use # C56327 for a 4-way trailer connector and you can add the # ETBC7 kit if you need a 7-way.

Use # C55774 for both a 4-way and 7-way in one part if the Transit has the tow package.

If you don't already have them you'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.

One way to make choosing a ball mount easier is to go with an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10038B. It features the ability to be flipped under the hitch when not using it and will provide up to 5-1/2 inches of rise or 5 inches of drop.

For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.

I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
