Question:
Will the Curt C42CR mount to the Curt C57202 without drilling holes? The installation video for the C42CR says to use a 18136 long bracket, but when I search for that part nothing comes up? Thx

Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it will! The Curt Mounting Bracket for 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C42CR will match right up with the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202. You won't have to drill any new holes. The picture I included shows the two being used together.
The part 18136 you mentioned is an older part number that has been discontinued, but the Curt # C57202 is a direct replacement for that. The two are dimensionally identical.
What kind of trailer will you be hauling?

It mounted right to my OEM Jeep Wrangler hitch with no drilling

The instillation photos for the C57202 shows the C42CR bolted to it. I mounted the C42CR directly to my bumper on my 2025 Bronco Sport.

Not a trailer, a cargo box with a flat 4 connector.
