2021 Ford Ranger
2”21 Ranger Lariet with rear tow hooks will still work with this hitch. At first it does not look like it will work. I loosened my spare and then installed the hitch and it worked out fine. Spare and all !

Installation instructions were great. Especially the use of clamps to hold he bumper in place when removing the four bolts to mount the hitch bar.

2000 Ford Ranger
I ordered a trailer hitch for my 2000 twent. A Ford Ranger on the 20th of November received it, November 22nd and it's already on my truck installed. It's a little hard to install it yourself. But it's duable and I've did it myself long as you've got a couple jacks holders or some kind of blocking to hold the Hitch up till you get the 4 bolts in and that's it..

Great Hitch. Easy install 1st job was a 3000# payload 1100 mi over mtns, S. Carolina to western NY. Would recommend e-Trailer and Curt Hitches.

It's good. It is there a year later, don't Even think about it.
by: Jason 02/27/2024
Shipping was fast. Ordering process was simple. Install was easy (took longer to get out and put away the tools). After owning it a year and pulling many times, it is all good.
Don’t hesitate to order.

2019 Ford Ranger
Look, I am no wrench turner, but can do basic automotive tasks. This is easy. I didn't have a torque wrench, a lift or any fancy tools. I lowered my speare tire, used a hollow jack handle attached to my socket wrench, clamped the right and left frame tabs, removed 4 bolts (2 each side), and it fit like a glove. Applied a little bit of grease to the threads and torqued it back in place. As you can see, without the hitch, it is flush and doesn't protrude from the bumper. Made in America! Perfect fit! Easy install. Thanks etrailer!

2019 Ford Ranger
New hitch was delivered quickly. Easy to install. 2019 Ranger has a tab on the bumper and frame that I was able to temporarily use a bolt and nut through to hold the bumper in place while the bumper bolts were removed to position the hitch. I used a floor jack to position the hitch and then bolted it into place. Took about 30 minutes to complete installation.

2019 Ford Ranger
The receiver is a solid addition and a perfect fit on my 2019 Ford Ranger. The folks at etrailer are professionals all the way. The installation was easy for a 77 year old like me. I just followed the recommended instructions: 1)used vice grips to secure both sides of the existing bumper to the frame; 2)removed existing 21mm bolts, both sides (a 2' breaker bar helps); 3)aligned new receiver to existing holes in the frame; 4)replaced and tightened existing bolts (cleaned and greased them first).
Since I didn't have a helper handy, I had to support both ends of the receiver for step 3. The whole job took maybe an hour in my gravel driveway with me on my back on a piece of cardboard. You younger guys will likely be faster. I'm very pleased with the product and would recommend it to all. Just what I needed.
by: James06/16/2022
It went on in about 16 minutes. Fit perfectly used it today to hold my bike rack. Very happy with the product, the service. The whole experience exceeded my expectation. Thanks

It’s still working great!
by: DH09/14/2023
Great value for the money. Installation for a "novice" is a little trickier than advertised. For a 2021 Ford Ranger, you need a 21mm deep socket, torque wrench, robust c-clamps, as well as a second person to hold the receiver in place while the bolts are re-installed. I had to drop the spare to fit the receiver in place so that added more time. But overall, I'm very happy with the finished product though installation took a little longer than anticipated.

Installed myself without a hitch , works perfect

2021 Ford Ranger
Wonderful! Was a great price and shipping. Great quality and fit. Me and my teen daughter crawled under my 2021 Ranger XL and using just a wrench we had it on in 10-15 minutes. Easiest with an extra hand but you could clamp it up or other methods to help hold it till bolted. Have pulled three different trailers no issues. Love it. Thanks.
by: MarkD08/12/2023
Received the hitch quicker than I thought.
Arrived in good shape.
I watched the installation video before hand, so I was pretty much prepared. The actual installation would have been much easier if the guy in the video had been delivered along with the hitch - lol -
I had pretty good clearance under my Ranger, so I didn’t need a lift. I propped the hitch up on a 5 gallon bucket and was able to maneuver it into the bumper slots by myself. Definitely would have been easier with a second set of hands, but this 74 year old dude did it by himself in about an hour! Hardest part was getting the bolts out and tightening to the prescribed XXX foot pounds. (I’ll ask a mechanic friend to check that with a torque wrench later).
by: Jason11/13/2021
Beware, does NOT fit TREMOR model. Spare tire does not fit probably after hitch.

I did reach out to the manufacturer and while it is a tight fit, it is ok for the spare tire to touch the back of the hitch.
by: Michael09/22/2023
The product was excellent. The packaging can use work. The box had damage and the hitch had cosmetic damage. The delivery carrier almost didn’t drop it off because of that he said it was warranted for a return because of the damages. However, he was more concerned about it than I was. I ended up sanding and spray painting the effected areas and installed the hitch onto my truck. It was a simple installation.
by: Dustin06/28/2020
2019 Ford Ranger
Easiest receiver hitch I've ever installed! Used two quick clamps to hold the bumper to the frame per the instructions. 1/2" cordless impact gun zipped out the four bumper bolts. While laying under the truck, lifted the receiver up into place. Started one bolt on each side to hold the hitch. Started the two remaining bolts by hand, tightened all four with the impact. Removed the quick clamps, tightened to torque spec with a Snap-On 1/2" torque wrench. Done is less than 10 minutes.
by: Paul07/28/2021
2020 Ford Ranger
The Curt hitch was on backorder and arrived much quicker than expected. It was a simple install, only took about 15 to 20 minutes. One note of caution, the torque value in the instruction sheet states 196 ft-lbs, should only be 146 ft-lbs for a 2019+ Ranger. Once installed, it looks great on the truck.
Thanks to etrailer for offering a great product and great service!

- How To Tell If 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat Has The Factory Tow PackageIf your 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat has the factory towing package it will have a factory installed trailer hitch receiver, and a 4-way/7-way connector. If you do not have these components then your truck does not have the factory towing package. To add these components you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417, and the Curt T-Connector 7-way Connector # C56431 as both of these components are a confirmed fit for your truck.

view full answer... - Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2021 Ford RangerFor your 2021 Ford Ranger, I recommend the Curt # C13417 trailer hitch receiver.

This may come in handy if you are using a hitch mounted accessory and need the additional bumper clearance. This receiver has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 900lbs and trailer capacity of 6,000lbs. With a weight distribution hitch tongue weight capacity remains at 900lbs...

view full answer... - Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Ford RangerFor your 2019 Ford Ranger the Draw Tite hitch part # DT73GR is the hitch I recommend over the Curt # C13417 because it has higher towing capacities and it has a bracket built into it for trailer wiring.

You'll clamp the bumper into place, remove the 4 bolts holding the bumper assembly to the frame, then install the hitch using the same bolts that were just removed.

- Can Any Hitch be Used for Towing with a 2022 Ford RangerAccording to the 2022 Ford Towing Guide if your 2022 Ford Ranger has the 53R towing package then you can tow up to 7,500 lbs. To meet the full towing potential, you could either use the Curt Hitch # C13417 for the etrailer hitch # e63ZR along with weight distribution. The weight distribution will increase the 6,000 pound capacities of this hitches to 8,0000 pounds which is more than your Ranger allows.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417 fit all models of the 2019 Ford Ranger which normally have tire sizes that are 16-18" wheels. The hitch will most likely not fit with 20" wheels. You may need to remove the spare and store it elsewhere or get a smaller sized spare.

Have been hauling by boat now for a year it is as solid now as it was the day I installed it. No rust, I expect this will outlast the life of the truck.
