This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Eric02/24/2023
The packaging was solid and so was the fast delivery. Good fit only a couple of modifications to miss one of the factory rivets. Pushed to one side Against the leave spring bracket the hole used to miss the rivet fell in line with the rolled ninty of the hitch. A grinder and cutoff wheel did the trick. I would have to drop my gas tank down out of the way if I want to through bolt the rest of the hitch plate. The edge of the tank is in line and next to the frame. I'm thinking on drilling and taping and using some lock tight and call it good. It was fairly easy to install once you tie one end up and then hold the other end and mark your holes with a sharper. Through bolt the side you just drilled and then repeat. Very well fabricated I would recommend this style of hitch to anyone.

1973 Ford F-100, F-150, F-250, F-350
Installed on a 1973 Ford F-250 with 37-3/4" frame. Installation was straight forward. Product fit well. I put the second hole on the last riveted frame cross member, everything lined up perfectly. Make sure to allow enough room for the washers on top of the frame rail, I had to use a die grinder to open up one hole because I made the hole too close to the frame and could not get the washer to sit on the frame rail. A second person and C - Clamps helped a lot. We lifted the receiver into position, clamped it in place. I drilled one hole on each side, installed the bolts, then removed the clamps and drilled/installed the rest of the hardware. Contrary to the instructions, I did not have to remove my spare tire (thank Jesus!).
Great product, shipped fast. This is my third Curt hitch and one of many times I've used etrailer.

This hitch appears very well make and was fairly easy to install on my Bronco. Even at 70 I had no issues and it took about an hour at a slow pace. First thing I did was wire it to a floor jack and jack it in place to mark the holes, step drilled as recommended and fished the bolts through as is necessary on the Bronco due to the fuel tank position. I didn't see any Bronco install pic here so here are a couple of pics. Very similar to the F150 type install except for the fuel tank.

Ram 3500
I'm 75 years old and not getting around like I used to. The Curt class IV hitch aligned perfectly with frame existing holes. Center hole needed to be drilled, easy enough to do. The existing 3500 lb.bumper hitch was removed. Some wiring was attached to frame and needed to be relocated. My son stopped by to help with installation, but we found a floor jack could be used to position hitch without need for extra muscle. Once lifted, we used clamps to hold in place for hole enlargement and drilling. Looks like it will tow much more than truck is certified to pull
by: William Mayhew 10/11/2019
The product was an easy install just as they said. The wiring was also simple to install. It works perfectly and also increases the value of my truck because it’s equipped to haul trailers or campers with an taillight / brake lights hook up.
I was very impressed with this and will definitely contact etrailer again if I need anything else.

1977 Ford F-100, F-150, F-250, F-350
Fit my 1977 Ford F250 Super Cab Camper Special with step bumper. The guide holes fit right over the rivets on the frame rails. Leaves adequate room for my spare tire to continue to be carried by the undermount system. Just what I was looking for. Still mulling over where and how to place my trailer wiring receptacle. Might put a six-pin round in the left license plate light hole.
by: Cameron07/24/2021
Product quality is exactly like every other Curt part, no problems. Packaging and shipping from etrailer was lacking. Albeit quick, but the product was outside the box on my doorstep. Hitches get beat up and rusty over time so not worth complaining, but still a bit disappointing.
by: timothy02/02/2021
It was indeed a perfect match to my F-350's rear end. It tows large trailers well, and as of last month, survived a rear-end colission "without a hitch," pardon the pun. It is still perfectly straight. Good product!

1980 Ford F-150
I ordered the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on the Memorial Day weekend and it was delivered on Friday, the same week. I found the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver fit my 1980 Ford F150 Pickup without any problems. Other places I checked did not have Trailer Hitch Receivers for vehicles this old. It took a little over an hour to install. The extra time was needed to drill six 1/2" holes in the bottom flange of my truck frame.
by: Derek10/25/2023
Fitment wasnt perfect it was a little narrow for my frame but still bolted up and has hauled good, no problems, was put in a 1995 f150 4.9 rwd 5 speed single cab long bed

1990 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350
The hitch arrived in 3 days in great condition. Good packaging. My installation took a little longer than most I am sure. My bumper mounts have a "C" shaped cross section that covered the areas on both sides of the frame where toe rear most bolts needed to be installed. Had to remove the bumper.
I have purchased several items from ETrailer over the years. All have been high quality and the prices can't be beat.
I will always dream with etrailer when I need towing components.

item looks great . It will be quite some time before I will be able to get it installed .First off the truck has a home made hitch welded on it now . I will have to get it off first . My shop is working outside and with winter coming it will take time . I'll try and send you some pictures of the one I have to cut off , And in time send you one with it installed on truck .

Dont know yet . I have had a few health issues last year . The hitch looks great and in my mind Im sure it will work as it should . Number one is the person that owned the 1985 Ford F350 dually had someone weld a make shift hitch on it , and I will have to grind it off to put this nice hitch on .

The box was delivered split in half and the hitch hanging out of it. Paint damaged, scratched and missing hardware.

2015 Dodge Ram Pickup
The hitch receiver was beautifully finished in gloss black, well made and bolted precisely to my 1994 Dodge Ram 1500. Each of the six bolts enclosed with the receiver, when inserted in the holes in my truck's frame made the receiver absolutely, perfectly aligned. You can be proud of the welds and metal were solid and smooth professional fabrication. Install time took me 1 hour. I spent 15 minutes of the hour balancing the receiver on my floor jack and chaining it to the jack, since I was doing the job by myself. I got the bolts finger tight then applied my 1/2 inch impact wrench with a 3/4 inch socket to finish the job. I would buy this again.

Good quality hitch. Fits as it should. Sits low on my lowered truck but does the job.
by: Seth M.06/03/2015
This is the second CURT mfg. class 4 hitch that I've purchased from etrailer.com; each for two different trucks. The website is easy to navigate, the product arrived on time in a sensibly packaged box, and most of all they are made in the USA - which is something I take seriously. No room for improvement here, I'll be back for other items.

All is well with the second hitch, Ive used it numerous times with no issues. The first one was on an older truck that I sold. Thank you again for selling American made products.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 PickupWe do have a Class lll trailer hitch that will fit your 2002 Ram. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max Frame Hitch, part # 75135. This hitch has a 2-inch receiver opening. No drilling is required for installation. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and...

view full answer... - High Capacity Trailer Hitch for a 1995 Ford F-150 XLT with Regular Step BumperThe 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.
view full answer... - Which Trailer Hitches Fit a 1990 Ford F-150We have a number of hitches that could fit your 1990 Ford F-150. I like Curt hitches because of their thicker powder coat compared to other brands. It depends on which frame and which rear bumper your truck has as to which is the correct Curt hitch: Standard or step bumper models use part # 14001 Deep drop bumper models use part # C15511 Cab and chassis models use part # 13028 Also, if you need a 7-way wiring harness you can hardwire in part # 20023. Or if you only need a 4-way you can...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1989 Ford F-250For your 1989 Ford F-250 the Curt hitch part # 14001 is a confirmed fit and would work well for towing a trailer. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C55316. 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 you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire...

It has a bolt-on installation and no welding is required. I have attached a video for you check out.

I attached an install video for this hitch on a very similar 2001 Dodge Ram similar to yours for you to check out as well.

The Curt hitch part # 14001 is a fit for your 2002 Dodge Ram and sits about flush with the factory bumper so it would be your best option. Check out the picture I attached for more info.

- Is Modification Necessary for Curt Multi-Fit Hitch on 1996 Ford F-150I reached out to my contact at Curt and he said for your 1996 Ford F-150 the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13902 would require some pretty significant modifications on the truck for installation. Even when considering that the actual custom-fit options for your F-150 also require drilling into the frame rails, he does not recommend this multi-fit option for your truck unless it's an absolute emergency (just need to mount something in a pinch). He has installed the hitch before and it's...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 to Tow 4,700 lb Travel TrailerI would install a hitch on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 like the Curt # 14001 which has more than enough weight capacity, installs easily, and would be much better than towing with a bumper ball. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

You will need to drill a few holes to get this hitch mounted on your truck, but that is the case for all of the Class IV Hitches available at this time.

If you don't have a hitch already, you can install one using part # 14001. The EasyFold has an overall capacity of 130 lbs, but Thule doesn't recommend putting a single bike on it that weighs more than 65 lbs. Some electric bikes would allow you to remove the battery pack, which would save some weight. If your bike weighs more than 65...

For your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 I have a wide selection of trailer hitches available. I have Class III, Class IV and Class V hitches with towing weight capacities of 6,000 to 18,000 lbs. If you want to give me what type of hitch you are looking for, or what you are going to use it for, I can give you some recommendations.

It has a class IV rating with 2" receiver tube opening that will work great for towing, exceeding the capacity of the truck so you don't have to worry about weight capacity. If you don't already have a trailer wiring harness, you'll need to add the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118316.

I have included a link to the installation details below. There are cab and chassis models that have a 34 inch frame. If you plan on doing some towing with this hitch you will need a ball mount, hitch ball, and wiring. The recommended ball mount is # 40331, you can use hitch ball # A-90 (2 inch diameter) or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For wiring, you will need...

Take a look at the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III # 75038. This hitch receiver has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs, which is more in line with the towing capacity of your F-150. It also features a concealed crosstube design, just like the Curt # 14001. That being said, Draw-Tite hitches are not manufactured in the USA. If...

He said that from the rear most mounting hole to the end of the receiver tube is 10-7/8 inches. So if you can find that hole and then measure out 10-7/8 inches and that distance is not too far for your lift gate to still work you should be good. My contact did say that most...

After a year and several 10,000 tows. Still going strong and the finish is holding up nicely.
