For your 2017 Ford Explorer with sport package, the Draw-Tite # 75600 is not a fit. For your vehicle you will want the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76034 which is confirmed to fit 2017 Ford Explorers. I called my contact at Draw-Tite to confirm a fit with the sport model and this is the correct hitch to fit your vehicle.

If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118540 for your wiring for a 4-way flat. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath the rear of your vehicle, on the passenger's side.

For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This ball mount is adjustable to allow you to tow many trailers level. It has two hitch ball options, a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch to fit with most standard trailer couplers. This ball mount also has a unique stowable feature to give you a clean look when not in use and protect you from hitting your shins while loading and unloading when not in use. I recommend using a hitch lock like # e98882 to secure your investment.
