The box was destroyed but other than some missing paint I don't think anyone could hurt this hitch because it's a tank. I would like suggestions on what paint to use for touching up the scratches.

I bought it to replace the 2 1/2 inch OEM hitch (2015 F350) which is nowhere near this capable. I'm looking forward to installing it and no longer worrying about tongue weight limitations. As always thanks etrailer! You remain one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.



by:

Well built hitch and very easy to install. Needed a hitch capable of towing a 12K loaded toy hauler and this hitch easily handles the load. Very happy with it after using it for the last year.



by:

Seems to be good so far the powder coating or paint is still in good shape and we get alot of salt on our roads, so that’s a plus and so far the pin hole has not wallowed put I don’t tow super heavy 10kish but it’s been good so far

Wanted a 2.5 receiver for my 2001 Super Duty. Went through two different DrawTite receivers first. The first one had a crooked receiver tube. Never tried to install. The second one I tried to install but it hit the bumper before being able to tighten up to the frame. etrailer was great about sending prepaid labels to ship back. Just a pain to have to re-wrap and take to UPS drop-off. etrailer would not send the Curt as a replacement. Got credited for the DrawTite hitch and I ordered the Curt Hitch. Had it installed in 20 minutes. Factory wiring harness mount bolted right up. Curt hitch is well built and seems to have a better finish than the DrawTite.



by:
2006 FordF-250 Super Duty

I used this to replace my factory Ford 2 1/2 inch hitch. This thing is twice as heavy and has a lot more rating. I strapped this monster to my motorcycle jack and installed by myself. I tow a 26 ft. deck over triple axle trailer. Thank You.



by:

The hitch is working great. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I had to use some bolts & hardware off of the old hitch. The new hardware didn't fit in some places due to tight clearances. But I was able to install it fine. Thanks for checking up. This reminds me that I need to get back up there & check to make sure everything is right & tight!



by:

My hitch came in 2 days and was exactly as described. Super happy with e trailer. Love the instruction videos, very helpful.



by:

So far so good! Easy installation and fit my truck as advertised. With proper 2-1/2" hitches (vs adapters) the connection is solid. I'll never exceed the capacity of the hitch receiver, so I expect it to last. A few rust bits where the coating has been disrupted, but so far holding up to New England winter/dirt roads



by:
2008 FordF-250 Super Duty

Curt receivers are great quality, plus etrailer had my order shipped the same day and was delivered the next day!

One lesson learned for me was this particular hitch (15810) does not fit with the spare tire on a 2008 F-250.

Thanks again for a great product and extremely fast shipping and customer service! I definitely recommend using etrailer over large box stores.

You are absolutely correct, Joshua. Spare tires larger than 20 inches will not be able to be stored in the original location underneath the vehicle.



by:
2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty

The hitch has held up nicely for the year that I have had it on my truck. It is very stout. The paint has held up well to the elements so far.
It went on fairly easily and all of the holes lined up. It was helpful to have a second person to help hold the hitch in place in order to get the first bolts in.
I purchased this hitch when I realized that the hitch that came with my truck was only rated at 3500lbs, a fair bit less than the trailer I tow..
The box that it came in barely held up to the shipping monkeys on the way out to the Seattle area.



by:
1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

The Curt 20,000 pound commercially rated receiver is is built like a battleship! And while it was difficult to man handle alone, I was able to install it using the eight supplied bolts in about 20 minutes. The fit was positively perfect, so someone at Curt did their homework on the design. The only complaint I have is that unlike my Reese Hitch, it did not include the 2" reducer sleeve. A lousy $15 difference! Don't be cheap, for this kind of money it should be included. Now I get to pay $25 in shipping for a $15 part.



by:
2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Item was delivered quickly with all the bolts and it fit my truck perfectly.



by:
2017 Chevrolet Traverse

Ordered Thursday evening just before Memorial Day weekend, and arrived Tuesday afternoon. Was shipped out very quickly with update emails through the entire process! Although the box was a bit torn up from shipping the hitch was still in great shape with all hardware and the wiring for another vehicle I ordered, in the box. Hitch is amazing quality, VERY heavy duty, and bolted right into place! I did have to forgo the nice factory wiring/plug mount and zip tie them into place, but other than that it was a perfect bolt on affair! Will definitely do business with these folks again



by:

Awesome website, they made the process simple, kept me updated with emails, and delivered the product on time. Companies like this that handle their end, and keep good communication are things we need more of. 10/10



by:

Excellent build quality and installation was very easy. Needed an extra set of hands during install due to the weight of the receiver.



by:

All around great first time experience! Mike was great and the product showed up way before I was expecting and it fit perfectly.



by:
2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty

This unit fit so perfectly on my 2005 f-350 srw. Once again I'm impressed with this company and how quick it came in. Anything I ever need for a trailer I will do business with these people



by:

Thank you very much!



by:
1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Heavy duty receiver. Easy install, but definitely need two people because it is heavy. Will handle all my trailers.



by:
2001 FordF-250 Super Duty

Fits the 2001 Ford F250 really well. It's quite a bit larger than the class 4 hitch we removed.



by:

Order came super quick, looks and fits great! Was able to do by myself with help from a strap and a couple clamps.



by:

I’ve never had any issues with the hitch, it’s very solid for heavier towing, all around a good product



by:
2012 FordF-250 Super Duty

Shipping was fast! Packaging was intact. Product was in excellent shape and installed easy.



by:

Outstanding product, higher towing capabilities. Superior Construction and Strength. Added feature for any SRW trucks, quarter ton or one ton. Maximum potential and peace of mind. Worth the upgrade to a Type V.

It has been a year since my type V tow bar was replaced. It has met all of my expectations and performed extremely well. Strong, sturdy, outperforming the type 3 it replaced. I have been capable of towing virtually anything my truck can handle. For best results and less stress pair it up with a quality torsion-flex technology product compatible with your Class V tow bar for less stressed towing. Long story short. I made the right investment for my business and my truck. Versatility is the name of the game.



by:
2002 FordF-250 Super Duty

Great solid hitch. Easy to install on 02 F250. Is tight around factory wiring receiver and have to nudge spare forward to go up all the way. Make sure you run the nut all the way up and down the bolts with a wrench before trying to put them on the truck, the zinc coating makes it really tight. Use the red locktite after aligning the hitch with the frame as extra assurance.

Doug G.

so far only used it to pull a tree out! it definitely stiffens the [rear] end up nicely though after not having a hitch for a while and noticing the frame twist.

  • Will I Be Able To Keep My Spare With The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810 that is custom fit for your 2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty will allow for a spare tire with 19" wheel to still fit under the truck in the factory location. If you have a 20" or larger wheel used with your spare it will not fit with this receiver. The Curt Receiver # C15845 is for a cab and chassis F-350 and will not fit your frame correctly.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F-250 Stake Pocket Truck
    If there is no trailer wiring at all at the rear of your 2001 Ford F-350 with a stake bed you are going to have to hardwire in a 4-way and then a 7-way adapter after. If there is a 4-way connector currently or you find the square connector that the part # 20031 attaches to you could go that route as well. For a hardwire 4-way you would need the part # 18252. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If...

  • How To Mount 7-Way Connector To Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C15810
    I have another option for you, but there is not a no drill mounting bracket that has a longer clamp than the # C57202 you purchased. Instead I recommend the Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58003 which will mount to the receiver tube of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810 you purchased and installed. I included a video of the 2" version of the # C58003 being installed for you to take a look at.

  • Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810 Require Drilling To Install On a 2009 Ford F-350?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810 is a custom fit receiver which should not require drilling to install on a 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty. If you have a cab and chassis version F-350 you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15845 and this will require drilling to install. This receiver is similar to the receiver # C15810 in having a 2-1/2" receiver. If you are unsure if you have a cab and chassis or Super Duty you can check the vehicle information sticker inside your door frame....

  • Will Curt Hitch C15810 Fit 16 inch Spare on 1999 Ford Super Duty Truck
    The Curt hitch part # C15810 will work for your 1999 Ford Super Duty. The spare sizing information is for the diameter of the rim and not the tire. Since you have a 16 inch rim and this will fit rim sizes smaller than 20 inch this will work well. I attached an install video as well.

  • Does the Factory Need to be Removed to Install the Curt Hitch part # C15810
    Yes, the factory hitch on your 2013 Ford Super Duty truck will need to be removed to install the Curt Trailer hitch part # C15810. If you need trailer wiring you would want the Draw Tite wiring harness part # 18252. For a ball mount and hitch ball you would want the etrailer.com Ball Mount kit part # EBMK25318. You could use the Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45292 with this hitch as well.

  • High Towing Capacity Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2000 Ford F-350
    The highest capacity trailer hitch we offer for your 2000 Ford F-350 is the Curt hitch part # C15810 which has a 20,000 lb trailer weight capacity and 2,700 lb tongue weight capacity. The Super Titan part # 38124 that you mentioned fits truck frames that are approximately 34" - 34-1/2" wide at the rear of the truck which is common for cab and chassis trucks. Your truck would not have this frame setup.

Please note that spare tires larger than 20" will not be able to be stored in the original location under your truck with the use of this hitch.

  • How to Figure Out How Low the Curt Hitch part # C15810 Would Sit Below Bumper
    While I don't know exactly how far the Curt Hitch part # C15810 would hang below the bumper of your 2002 Ford Superduty I can tell you how you can figure it out. I went out into our warehouse and measured the distance from the mounting surface of the hitch down to the hitch opening and found that it measures 5-1/2 inches. So basically if you measure 5-1/2 inches down below the rear frame of your truck that is where your hitch opening will be.

  • High Capacity Trailer Hitch for a 1995 Ford F-150 XLT with Regular Step Bumper
    The 2 Curt hitches you referenced are not a fit for a 1995 Ford F-150. Hitch # C15845 is for Super/Heavy duty cab and chassis models, not regular pickups, and # C15810 is for F-250 and F-350 models. For your F-150 with the regular step bumper you can use Curt hitch # C15300 or # 14001. I have linked some videos showing how these hitches install.

  • Mounting Bracket for Wiring Harness on Curt Hitch for 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    In order to attach a connector to the Curt Hitch # C15810 you would use a bracket such as the Curt # C57202, and attach your connector's mounting bracket to that. An example of this is shown in the video I've linked which shows the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket # HM40975; you can forward to the 0:45 mark to see exactly how this would work.

  • Parts Needed To Use 24" - 36" Long Hitch Extender On 2001 Ford F-250
    Yes, there is a reason a 2" hitch extender is not available in a 24" - 36" length. The reason is that length with that small of a receiver puts way to much leverage on the hitch and would lower your hitch capacity so low it really wouldn't be usable for much. The only way to safely get an extender that long is replacing your 2" hitch to a 2-1/2" with the Curt # C15810 which is a confirmed fit for your 2001 Ford F-250. You can then use the Curt Hitch extender # C45048 which can be either...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2006 Ford F-350 Towing Dump Trailer
    For a hitch that can handle that much weight I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810. This is a Class V hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 20,000 lbs and max tongue weight of 2,700 lbs. However, if you have a spare tire 20" or larger it will not be able to be stored in the original location under the truck. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to find the towing capacity for your F-350. The most the 2006 can tow is 15,000 lbs, but for some models the capacity is lower.

    Hitch extensions over 18 inches aren't very common because of the stress and torque they put on the trailer hitch and vehicle frame. For a 30 inch extension, the first place we will want to start is with your truck's trailer hitch. In order to find an extension this long, you must have a Class V trailer hitch with a 2-1/2 inch hitch opening.

    For that length of extension we only have 2-1/2 inch hitch options as they are the only size that's going to have the strength for the stress extensions put on the hitch. You would need to upgrade your hitch to the 2-1/2 inch size with a hitch like the Curt part # C15810 and then go to an extension part # C45048.
