THE HITCH WILL BE ATTACHED TO OUR 550 FORD 4WD EMERGENCY TRUCK ( VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ) I WILL NEED TO DRILL 2 ADDITIONAL HOLES IN THE STEP BUMPER. I LIKED THE ENDS THAT YOU ATTACH THE SAFETY CHAINS. THE TRUCK WILL PULL OUR TRAILER WITH OUR TERREX ATV
HAVING THE CORRECT HARDWARE IN THE BOX IS GREAT



by: 04/29/2021

Solid, quality product. The bolt threads were a bit "short" so I had to buy some big washers to make up the distance and allow the nuts to fully tighten. Also, I looked up the torque specs on those grade 8 bolts to get the proper torque rather than what the instructions said: "Make sure to tighten them really tight". Overall pleased.



by:

The bumper hitch was exactly what I needed. It is perfect for attaching a wheelchair carrier to the step bumper of my Silverado pick-up. After I placed my order I recieved a confirming e-mail of the order. I recieved an e-mail the next day informing me that my order had shipped along with the tracking number. I recieved my order a few days later and installed it on my bumper in barely 5 minutes! I will definitely use E-Trailer for all future trailer hitch needs.

This hitch should fit your 2002 Silverado with a step bumper, and yes you will need to drill for the installation.


by:

Very prompt delivery! Product is just as described. I will try / do the install tomorrow and follow up at that time. I do not expect any issues, but you never know till its complete. This is hopeful is going to lower the hitch height to enable the level towing of a vintage trailer.

Works grate! Did just what I needed.



by:

Product was easy to locate, webset easy to use. Hitch installed easily, Did require slight mount adjustment by drilling. The product description did give adequate forewarning of mounting adjustment. Spacers included were great. Would recommend “ETRAILER”!

All is well



by:

For the price this is well worth it. The staff was very fast to respond to any questions i had. I am only using this for a bike rack and it worked perfectly. If you have to drill all holes in your bumper, make sure you are using a drill with a cord. The batteries will not last. I would def buy another product from this firm. This was a great quality product.

After a brutal winter the product is still holding up great.



by:

Super fast shipping and service. This unit fit my aftermarket step bumper just fine. I only had to drill two holes for the included 1/2 inch bolts. The 3/4 inch bolts lined up perfectly. I wish all things were this simple.

Hitch is great. No signs of rust on the finish or bolts.



by:

The shipping was quicker than I expected. However, the bumper hitch didn't work well with my 1993 Nissan pickup with its step bumper. My bumper is too light and the mounting surface of the E-3S hitch is bowed, so it tended to try to pull my bumper apart in tightening. If you have a heavy bumper plate to bolt the hitch to, it should work great.



by:

Nice heavy hitch, installed easy and worked great.
Would recommend it to anyone looking for a light trailer bumper hitch.



by:

I'm building my own trailer hitch for my classic 1955 F350. I like this receiver because it'll provide a large, flat base to weld to the 2x4 heavy steel tube.



by:

The hitch is perfect for hauling anything we toss in the trailer from hay to wood to dwelling clean-outs, it has earned its value.



by:

The finish is great, I was going to weld this to the front of my tractor, but know I am going to weld mountig brackets to the tractor so I can bolt it on and not mess up the powder coating.



by:

Very easy to install, took less than 30 minutes. I wasn't sure of the grade of bolts that were included, so I upgraded to Grade 8 bolts. I'm very pleased with hitch and have already put it to the test.



by:

The hitch is going on a one off build and is exactly what I needed. WELL MADE Only Mother natures delivery of 12" of snow delayed your delivery!

Like my other orders from etrailer I received exactly what was ordered packaged correctly and on time. Thank you etrailer

  • 2 inch Hitch for 2011 Toyota Prius
    It might be possible to install the Curt hitch part # E-3S in theory to the rear bumper beam of your 2011 Toyota Prius but this is not the intended application for this hitch and I am sure Toyota would also recommend against this as well. The bumper beam appears to not be compatible with this either. We have 2 inch hitches that fit your vehicle with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7178 though which I would recommend highly if you were looking for something safe for both the vehicle and whatever...

  • Hole Spacing of Curt E-3S Bumper Mounted Hitch
    The # E-3S hitch from Curt is designed to be compatible with bolt holes found in the bottom of the license plate well of a standard truck step bumper. The flat portion of the hitch measures 11 x 4 inches with an overall width of 14 inches. The oblong bolt holes closest to the receiver opening are 8-3/4 inches apart on center and the round set of holes are 6 inches apart, also on center. I've shown these dimensions in the included photo. You can see a product description video by clicking...

  • Hitch for Carrying Bikes on 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ Factory Step Bumper
    There are several hitches that'll work for your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. If your just looking for an attachment point for your bike racks, a Class III hitch like the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75101 would work great for you. If you were looking for something smaller, the Curt # E-3S might be a fit if you have bolt holes that line up and enough available space on the underside of your step bumper. I've provided a photo showing the dimensions of the bolt holes and of the hitch itself. The...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for the Step Bumper on a 2010 Ford Ranger
    If the bumper itself has a hole for a ball then you could just use the bumper to tow. Consult the owners manual for the capacity (usually up to 3,500 pounds on many applications, the owners manual should have the correct information). If you need to add a receiver then a hitch like # E-3S is going to be the best option. Take a look at the picture I have included to see the mounting hole dimensions. I have also linked the instructions for you. I have also included a link to the frame mount...

  • Hitch Receiver for a 1997 Toyota 4Runner
    All of the custom fit hitches, like the The Curt item # C13087 you were looking at, for a 1997 Toyota 4Runner mount below the frame. There is no way to mount the receiver above the frame on your Toyota to close off the gap caused by your two inch body lift. You could use a universal hitch that bolts directly to your bumper but you will have to drill through your bumper and it will have a lessor capacity than a custom hitch. It is the Curt 2" Trailer Hitch - Bumper Mount item # E-3S.

I have included a photograph with the dimensions of the mounting holes for you to check out. If your 1998 Ford Explorer has a step bumper and has mounting holes with the 8-1/2 inch dimension then the Curt Bumper Hitch will bolt to your bumper.

  • Fit of Curt E-3S Bumper Hitch on 2021 Ford Ranger
    The Curt # E-3S bumper hitch isn't a vehicle specific product, it'll fit many different step bumper equipped trucks and SUV's. If your Ranger is equipped with a step bumper with holes spaced as shown in the photo, it'll fit. The hitch itself carries a 5000 lb capacity, which could be limited by the capacity of the bumper which might be less (contact your local Ford dealer for exact bumper capacity). This being said, I'd highly recommend going with a custom-fit frame mounted hitch like...

  • What Tilting Bike Rack Options are Available for 2001 Ford Ranger that Will Allow Tailgate Function
    We do have a couple of ball hole mount bike racks but they do not have the tilting ability. They would allow use of different size frames, but those cradle types would not be as secure as individual cradles. If you were to add a hitch to your Ranger, there are several hitch mounted bike racks that will tilt-down or swing out. Some tilt-down racks may not come down far enough for a truck bed tail gate. I would probably choose Curt hitch part # 13019. You could also use a bumper mounted...

  • Can a Bumper Mounted Trailer Hitch be Used to Tow a 5X8 Trailer with a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado
    As long as you stay within the manufacturers tongue weight and gross trailer weight ratings, see bumper and owners manual, you will not have a problem towing with the Curt 2 inch Bumper Hitch, 5,000 lbs GTW, item # E-3S. A better solution for your towing needs would be the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, item # 75607, which is designed specifically for your 2005 Colorado.

  • Hidden Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 Toyota Tacoma
    I think that your best bet would be to install a hitch that installs onto the frame of your 2002 Toyota Tacoma, like a Draw-tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75078. Not only will you have a much higher towing capacity, you will not have to make any permanent modifications to your vehicle bumper that might void the warranty of the vehicle.

    I have a hitch solution for your 2007 Ford Ranger, but the part # E-3S is not going to fit and would not be your best choice. You would need to go with a frame mounted hitch custom fit for your vehicle. For that you would want the part # 13138. This will mount to the frame of your truck and will give you a hitch opening right under the bumper. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

From among all options I suggest the Draw-Tite # 75082. All of these are frame-mounted hitches, unlike the bumper-mount Curt # E-3S and the similar # C19031 which are universal-fit items meant for installation on the bottom of a step bumper. Both of these bumper-mount hitches share a 5000-lb capacity; they differ in their mounting hole spacing. I...

    I pulled the Curt Bumper Mount Hitch, # E-3S, from the warehouse and made a video showing you the measurements that you were asking for. The wider holes, closest to the receiver opening, are 1-1/4 inches wide and accept a 3/4 inch diameter bolt. The bolt holes measure 10-3/4 inches at their widest points and 7-1/4 inches at their closest point. With the bolts set at the widest point, they measure 9 inches apart on center and 8 inches apart at the closest point.
