This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Fit nicely on my 2020 Ford Edge. So far, used it for cargo carrier for beach vacation. Very happy with it!
Installed hitch. The washers and bolts were bigger than the feeder hole could take. Was able to increase the size of the hole to fit the washers and bolts. Everything else was fine. This is the forth hitch I have installed. Just disappointed that the washers and bolts were not designed for the feeder hole on this car model. The bolt pattern was perfect.
This was a perfect fit for my 2018 Ford edge. Only had to make a couple minor cuts in the plastic mounding underneath. All the steps are easily explained in the video to make the job simple as possible. This is a very solid well built hitch and I highly recommend it!!

Well, that is great that it was simple! That's what we strive for! And when you get the chance to use it, we would love some pictures and stories! Also, for the scuffs, I highly recommend covering any exposed metal with some Rust-o-leum type of paint.
This hitch is well made. My boyfriend installed it on my vehicle. There were oy 4 feed wires for 6 bolts. Highly recommend that each bolt have a feed wire. One of the bolts got "lost" and he had a hard time retrieving it. We did watch YouTube videos on how to install before beginning the process. That was a big help. It took more than the half hour to an hour. If you have a lift, it would probably go faster. It probably took about 2 hours.

Its attached to the car. Lol. It worked great when we went to Outer Banks last year. Without it, I dont think our son would have been able to go with us. We had a lot stuff to pack.
I consider myself a pretty good do-it-yourselfer and get immense satisfaction out of the challenge. The Curt class 3 installation DIY video really helps! Video shows Ford Edge on a lift, but on the ground (no jacking or lifting needed) where everything is accessible. Don't forget to have a good 1" adjustable strap to hold exhaust low enough to fit Curt trailer hitch between dual exhaust outlets. Use a little floor jack in the middle to balance and adjust to a desired height (note: cover area with cardboard where trailer hitch meets jack). I finished the trailer hitch in a little over 1-1/2 hours.
This hitch receiver fit our 2015 Ford Edge Sport perfectly! I installed the required trailer wiring kit myself, but had our mechanic install the hitch itself. While noted in the item description, you do need to remove the bezels around the exhaust exit on both sides. The plastic underside body panel on each side needs to be modified, but the dimensions shown on the install instructions not accurate for a precise fit (use 3” x 7” instead). Quality is excellent with perfect welds and gloss black paint.
Right off the bat the customer service was phenomenal! I received an email when my order was placed and when my order was shipped. When it arrived I received another email confirming my receipt. Installation was a breeze! There was a video attached to the email with my order that was step-by-step on my exact year, make and model. When I opened the box, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I needed to make this installation seamless came with it! I have never been so pleased with purchasing and installing a trailer hitch. This should be everyone's one-stop shop for trailer hitch and accessory needs!
Very nice hitch. Nice finish and good fit to my car. Foot release still works pretty well. My only issue was the box was pretty torn up in shipping and the hitch arrived with minor scratches.
Arrived on time as per order however the package was damaged with the "ears" of the receiver dented (I had to spray on some primer and black paint to cover. Not a big deal as they are hidden but still).
Receiver is very sturdy and well made. With the 6 bolts, I feel it will hold well a small trailer and easily a bike rack.
Note that the bolts need to be torqued at 110 lbs-ft. You'll need a deep 3/4 socket drive and may need an extension (5" worked for me) and a joint-adapter to reach.
Overall, the instructions video is great. I recommend using a utility knife to trim the panels with a quick run on sanding paper for a "perfect" look. There is no other alteration to the car and the fit is great.
Installation took about 2 hours.
I give it 4 stars instead of five due to the damage and the fact they only provide 4 fishing wires for 6 bolts (need to be a little extra careful).
I looked at the different hitches available for my 2015 Ford Edge Sel and decided on the Curt C13234 because you are able to reinstall the heat shield that attaches to the rear bumper skin. This hitch was fairly straight forward to install. The video helps considerably. I plan to use the hitch for a bike rack. I am always happy with the service and product line up that etrailer offers.
After several attempts I am able to get the hands free liftgate feature to work. Nowhere as easily as before unfortunately. I've found that it only works if you actually contact the tow hitch (at three specific points noted in the attachment) directly with the top of your foot. Fairly slowly of course. You don't want to accidentally hit your shin bone. What I don't know is if all Edge Sports will respond the same.
Hitch looks and feels great! No 5 star because because it would be better to have 6 fish strings for the bolts and also more like a 8 for difficulty to install. The video helped a lot but when it came to where to fish things through the video was way to vague.
Fast service,excellent product, everything I hoped it would be. If ever I need another hitch for anything I'll order again.
Installation was as described. Pictures were very helpfull a d all hardware was included. Have pulled my utility trailer several times.
Great hitch for the Ford Edge. Bolts right on! I watched a YouTube video as I installed it. The video made installation a lot easier.
Great quality product. Got the hitch for a 2015 Edge Sport. Installed myself watching their videos on YouTube. Also comes with detailed instructions. Great fit n finish.
My neighbor and I installed hitch in about an hour, a bit of a learning curve, it really helps to watch the video. great looking hitch.
The hitch fit well and the instructions were thorough.
fit my car exactly as is no modifications need. Has not rusted and still in great shape, like I just installed the hitch. A little difficult feeding the bolts through for install. Other than that great product.

Great! Perfect
Very pleased with this product. Installation was pretty simple. I did it by myself but would recommend having some help. Spent about two hours on installation.
Just received it last night and it was still in the box when delivered but the box had seen better days. I have no idea why they destroy the boxes.
Made by Curt, a leader in the industry. Great price. Packed in heavy cardboard with all the mounting hardware at a great price. All of this and an instructional video available that is model and trim level specific, is the cherry on top.

Very solid. No rattles. Only addition I made was ordering the corresponding sensors from Ford for kick entry of the liftgate. They are different when a hitch covers part of the current sensors. Runs about $XX each one upper, one lower. It will work without this but you get some errors and frustration if you dont change them. Or you can try moving, adjusting position but that was touch and go, for me..
2016 Ford Edge Sport
Great product & support!
Lacking clear instructions, pictures with perspective and time estimations.

I have absolutely no problems with all purchases equipment. Works as advertised! Thanks for caring enough to follow-up a year later.
Product is as described. Only complaint is it only comes with 4 fishing wires… 6 would make the installation much more streamlined.
