Ball Mount & 2 Inch Hitch Ball For 2017 Ford Explorer Towing U-Haul Trailer

Published 08/03/2022

Question:

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer with a factory installed hitch. I am renting a 5x8 uhaul trailer that needs a 2 inch ball hitch. Also, Uhaul says the height should be 18-18 3/4 inches from the ground. What hitch should I purchase from you? Thank you

For your 2017 Ford Explorer, you'll need a ball mount with about a 2 inch rise, and there is one available that includes everything you need:

- Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball # C45056

The # C45056 comes with the ball mount that has a 2" rise, the 2" hitch ball, as well as the pin and clip to secure it in your hitch.
