Instructions for 2021 Ford F-150 Curt Custom Base Plate Kit

Question

Question:

I bought the Curt tow baseplate for my 2021 F150. The installation instructions do not cover the 2021. The part says it fits the 2021. The instructions are required by my installer. When can you send them to me?

Hey Richard, thanks for reaching out!

Your Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C48JR should have come with installation instructions in the box. I'm attaching them to this answer page, and I'll send them to you in a separate email.

Was there anything else you needed for flat towing your 2021 Ford F-150?

Hey Richard, did the installation instructions for the Curt base plate kit help your installer get everything set up on your F-150? Sharing how it went could guide others working on the same truck.

@JonG NO, This is the first I have ever heard from yall. Drilling on my frame voids the warranty. The curt baseplate is still boxed in my garage. Get another supplier that does not require drilling and voiding warranty. So you comment EIGHT MONTS after I posed the question, do you have a comment on you ATTENTION TO CUSTOMER NEEDS???

@RichardC This is just a check-in to see how things went. The initial answer page was created and sent to you back in February, and I just checked my email and we have a thread going back and forth about the installation instructions (I'll reply to it so you can see a copy). All of the base plates for your F-150 require some sort of drilling, so if you want to avoid that you'll be looking at a trailer big enough for your F-150 to fit on. We do try our best to help out with customer needs, which is one reason why the follow up comment was posted.
