- Is There a 1-1/4" Pintle Hitch With 2" Ball To Fit On a 2016 Ford Explorer?
- With pintle hitch trailers typically being a very high weight they do not offer one for a 1-1/4" receiver due to the light duty capacity of the small receiver. I do see you input your vehicle as a 2016 Ford Explorer which we do offer a 2" Receiver # e98867 for. This would allow you to use a B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2" Ball # BWTS10055. The Curt Hitch # C45910-15-20 you found has a 2-5/16" ball.

view full answer... - Can Thule Rapid Traverse Feet Be Used on Flush Side Rails on 2016 Ford Explorer
- I have a solution for you, but the Thule Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R are not designed to fit on flush mounted roof rails, so there's not a fit kit that will allow this; additionally, your older square bars will not fit in the feet that are available for your 2016 Ford Explorer. For these reasons, if you wanted an aftermarket roof rack for your 2016 Ford Explorer so that you've got flat bars, you would need to get an entirely new system.
If you wanted to go the aftermarket route, I recommend...

- That would depend on a few things like the handlebar length of the inner most loaded bike on the Hollywood Racks # HR1400Z as well as the height of the bike and the hitch you have installed. There is a rack I can guarantee will give you full access to rear cargo area of your vehicle with bikes loaded with the Thule Apex Swing # TH9027XT which swings out and away from the rear of the vehicle to give complete access without any guesswork.

view full answer... - Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2003 Ford Explorer 4-Door That Replaces OEM Hitch
- You're correct that the three hitches we offer for your 2003 Ford Explorer (shown on the linked page) are intended to install along with, but not to replace, your factory-installed hitch. This is because the OEM hitch is actually part of the vehicle's rear bumper structure and cannot be removed. An aftermarket hitch like the Curt # C13550 will therefore install just under the OEM hitch but remain independent of it. This resulting 2-hitch configuration means you could potentially use the...

- All of the trailer hitches we carry for the 2013 Ford Explorer will have the receiver and part of the crosstube visible beneath the rear fascia on the vehicle as you can see in the video I have linked showing installation of Curt hitch # C13386.
If you plan on doing some towing with the hitch I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring you can use # C56093.

Unfortunately, none of our mirror vendors manufacturer a custom slip-on mirror that would...

- The only trailer hitch cover that features a flag and is directly compatible with an 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver is our American Flag Trailer Hitch Cover, part # AUT2-FLAG-C. This premium hitch cover has a polished stainless steel base so you won't have to worry about rust or corrosion.
To secure the hitch cover to your hitch, I recommend using a pin and clip # C21410 or a hitch lock like # e98879 which will deter theft.
