The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C76HR is confirmed to fit all trim levels of your 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, including your Badlands trim. It is capable of supporting up to 525lbs of tongue weight and towing 3,500lbs of trailer. Be sure to consult your Ford dealer for your towing capability and use the lower of these 2 numbers.

While most any company can install this receiver you should make sure you use a reputable installer. You can search for an installer on Curt's website to see who is recommended in your area.

The Class III rating is a general weight rating. Different receivers have different ratings based on the amount of weight they can tow.

You will need the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK46FR to control the trailers taillights. This kit will plug into your factory taillights and uses a powered converter to protect the Bronco's wiring harness.

Finally the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 will give you both a 2" and 1-7/8" ball with 2 separate drop receivers to allow you to level your utility trailer. When not needed you can store the pieces in the included storage bag to keep everything where you need it and clean from dirt.
