  • Does Curt 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver C12076 Include the Ball Mount
  • No, the Curt Class II hitch receiver # C12076 does not include a ball mount, hitch pin or clip. You will need to add a hitch ball of appropriate size to match your trailer and a pin and clip # F-4. I have included a link to our page for Class II hitch balls with the required 3/4-inch shank diameter (to match the supplied ball mount which has a 3/4-inch ball hole). With this link you can select a Class II hitch ball of the appropriate size to match your trailer coupler, either 1-7/8 inch...

  • Does the Bulldog Cast Head Trailer Coupler BD4420000317 Come with Mounting Hardware
  • For the Bulldog trailer coupler # BD4420000317 you will need to use your own hardware. The bolt holes on the coupler are 5/8 inches in diameter. You will want to use grade 5 or higher quality bolts. The coupler could be welded on, however because this is a cast coupler and welding cast is difficult, it would have to be done by a qualified professional welder with experience in cast welding along with special electrodes to complete a weld installation.

  • Is the Ball Mount and Shank Included with the Reese Stead-Flex Weight Distribution System
  • The weight distribution shank and weight distribution head are included with the Reese Steadi-Flex, part # RP66558, that you selected. The only item you will need to complete the installation is a properly sized hitch ball to match the coupler on your trailer. If your trailer has a 2-5/16 inch coupler you will need the Hitch Ball with 2-5/16 inch ball, like part # 63847. If your trailer has a 2 inch coupler you will need the Hitch Ball with 2 inch ball, like part # 63845. If you have...

  • What Hardware is Needed for the Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head Coupler With Wedge Latch
  • The Bulldog Heavy-Duty A-Frame Coupler, # BD44150WH301, does not come with the attachment bolts. I have attached two images showing the bolt pattern measurements and the bolt hole sizes. I would recommend using grade 8 bolts, but grade 5 is acceptable and the amount of bolts you will need will depend on how you plan on mounting the coupler. I would recommend using the bolt holes on the side of the coupler to mount to your trailer. I spoke with my contact for Bulldog and he said you will...

  • Is Mounting Hardware Included with Demco A-Frame Trailer Couplers

  • How To Order Stainless Steel Hitch Locks and Coupler Locks to be Keyed Alike
  • For stainless steel coupler lock and hitch receiver lock that can be keyed alike, I would recommend the etrailer brand locks. They offer the etrailer Stainless Steel 2 Inch Hitch Receiver Lock, part # e98882, which will fit most 2 inch hitch receivers, and has an inside width of 2-5/8 inches. For coupler locks they offer the etrailer Stainless Steel 7/8 Inch Span Coupler Lock, part # e98890, which has an inside width of 7/8-inch, and the etrailer Stainless Steel 1/2 Inch Span Coupler...

  • Do Safety Chains Come with Titan 8K Zinc-Plated Drum Brake Actuator
  • Safety chains are usually attached to the trailer, not the coupler. Only a handful of the couplers we have include safety chains but # T4093200 is not one of them. If the trailer does not have mounts on it to attach safety chains then some will have to be installed such as # MB12 or # MB58. I have also included a link to the safety chains we carry.

  • Does Draw-Tite # 36408 Include Everything Needed To Tow a Trailer With 2012 Chevy Equinox
  • The Draw-Tite Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 36408, will fit a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox. It is the trailer hitch and pin and clip. To be able to tow with this hitch you will still need to purchase the recommended ball mount, hitch ball and the wiring harness for lighting the trailer lights. I am including links to the installation instructions and a install video of the hitch being installed on a 2010 Equinox (same on the 2012 model). The wiring harness for your Equinox would be the Curt...

  • Does a Ball Mount and Hitch Pin Come with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75338, 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • For Class III trailer hitches like the Draw-Tite, # 75338, the ball mount, pin and clips is not included because a Class III hitch does not require a specific ball mount. Lower Class hitches do require a specific ball mount so for many of them we will include it. There is always a recommended ball mount for a Class III hitch but in order to determine the right one for your needs you will want to measure for the rise or drop required to tow the trailer level. What you will do is measure...

  • What is the Weight of the Curt Trailer Hitch 12343
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12343 has a shipping weight of 24-lbs; about 1-1/2 to 2-lbs of that is going to be the packaging. This hitch does come with all of the hardware needed to install your hitch. If you're going to be towing with this hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For the wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha # 118405 because I've found that the Tekonsha harness converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time. For the hitch ball I...

  • Glad you enjoyed the video; the 4-Pole Trailer Connector # 118472 does not come with mounting brackets you would need No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18140 together with 4-Flat Bracket # 18144. I have attached a video showing you how these brackets work together to mount a 4-flat on your 2017 Ford Flex.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Honda Civic Come with a Ball Mount
  • A drawbar, also known as a ball mount or stinger, is the part that fits into the hitch and provides a platform for a ball that the trailer will couple to. If you are looking at the Curt trailer hitch for a 2015 Honda Civic then you can use # C11391. The drawbar isn't included but you can add one using part # C45521. If you will be towing with the hitch then the ball size used needs to match what the trailer coupler requires. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. You...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2009 Acura MDX
  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13354 does not come with a wiring harness; reason being that not everyone is using the hitch for towing so we make each component available separately. To add a 4-Way flat connector to your 2009 Acura MDX you can use # 118424. I have linked videos showing example installations of both the hitch and the wiring for you. I also recommend 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...

You will need the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness to allow you to hook up to your camper. The wiring that I recommend for your 2011 Ford Flex is # C55774. This gives you the option of using either a 4-pole connector or a 7-Pole connector. You also need a ball mount like # C74WR for an 8000-lb capacity or the # WSFH2-2 for a 10,000-lb capacity...
