This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Mine arrived with no hardware kit or instructions. I called etrailer and they sent the hardware kit asap. This Curt class IV trailer hitch worked great for our 2005 ford f150 flareside. It recommends to remove the rear exhaust hanger for easier installation. This was unnecessary for our truck. I would recommend removing the spare tire. The access hole to route the wire is on the outside of the frame above the leaf spring NOT the inside. It was a very simple install. I would reccomend this this hitch and Etrailer to anyone.
Best trailer parts company by far. This is my second order and received my hitch receiver in two days, three days sooner than it was supposed to be delivered. Thank you very much.
I would have given 5 stars but my receiver was delivered without a box and missing the hardware. It had a piece of box with the shipping label wrapped around it with plastic wrap. The receiver was beat up and scratched in several places. I paid extra for the delivery only to find out it was incomplete when delivered. I called and was sent another set of hardware but I had to wait several days before receiving it.
This receiver fit perfectly. Installed it by myself but it took longer than I expected. When fishing bolts through I would suggest doing the ones further from the access hole first. The wire would get caught up and I had to keep cutting pieces off before starting the next bolt. I would recommend picking it up all at once as level as possible. I loosened the exhaust pipe but I don’t think it needed to be done. This piece is one solid heavy piece. Looks good on the truck. I don’t have all the proper tools and decided to go with this model instead of the others where you would have to drill holes in the frame. There is no drilling required with this one. I love the way it looks on the truck. The bolts are big and heavy. Not cheap in any way.
Installed super easy, all I did was bolted on the chain holes first and that held the hitch onto the truck and then I just swung the hitch up and held it up with a jack and a block.
The hitch is really solid. I am pleased with the construction. I struggled with installation. Looking back, a second person would have made it much easier. 3 out of four holes aligned well. The fourth one had to be drilled a bit. Overall, I think it’s a great product that will allow me to pull a trailer to haul materials for home/yard projects. Thanks, J.R.
I was surprised how quickly the hitch was delivered, the price, service and quality of the Receiver Hitch is outstanding. Thank you

Very pleased with my purchase, installed without any problems. Ive been towing around a 18 foot trailer, not once have I worried about the tow.
Received a hitch that was only wrapped in cheap plastic, no box. Hitch waa scratched up and did not come with any mounting hardware. Waste of my time and money.

I am very sorry to hear that the hitch arrived without hardware and with scratches. This is certainly not who we want the hitches to arrive. I will have our customer service team reach out.
Very nice hitch .
Well constructed.
Easy installation.
Only dislike as with other common hitches is the area were the chains attach. Once locking pin is installed,trying to fit size 3 and 4 hooks is a challenge.
A little more room would be nice or different angle for hooks to attach.
Fitment was spot on. Have pulled my TT many times and no issues.
The hitch itself is awesome. I took my 04 f150 to a garage to have it installed. They said that if they did the bumper would have to be removed as it would not fit with the new hitch in place. The project is currently on hold.
This is a solid, well made hitch, I love it. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was shipped in a box with no support, box was totally destroyed during shipping as the hitch was just moving freely inside and half the screws were missing.
2004 Ford exdcab Lariat F-150 4X4 After some modifications to factory old hitch & bumper. This hitch fit perfectly & bumper is on truck. Can’t tell from new factory one.
The trailer hitch was good it was a little banged up because of shipping maybe you can package the hitch inside the box with more phone so it doesn't bounce around other than that went on the truck perfect
I installed it in about 45 min. everything fit as it was supposed to. The wiring is true plug and play and everything worked the first time as it should. The trailer brake made it possible to pull a 9400 lb. loader with this truck.
Fits my 2005 Ford F-150 perfect. Doesn't hang low. Not past bumper. No need to drop exhaust pipe. But do drop the spare tire. No drilling. A little patience and your done. Very strong high tow weight rating.
On time delivery and received all items as advertised. Only wish it came with two spring fish wires as the one that came with it broke with one bolt left to be installed. A small hole in bolt and a piece of wire and the last bolt was installed.
Very heavy hitch, took longer to install than stated, but a good quality part. Definitely like it better than the multi piece units from other makers
Perfect fit
Easy to install and does the job. Would definitely recommend.
Perfect fit the first time and best price I could find.
Replaced the stock hitch on my 2004 f150 perfectly.
Super fast shipping, love the product
