Hi Tom; the Curt # C13033 you ordered will fit your 1997 Ford Explorer Sport 2-Door as long as you do not have a full size spare tire. If you do have a full size spare you want the # 13540 instead which won't require relocating it.

Hey Tom, how did the fit go with the Curt hitch on your Explorer Sport? It’d be great to know if the spare tire cleared everything as expected. Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
