This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Exact fit. The difference from a bumper mounted ball to a frame mounted hitch is amazing. No more bounce, solid ride, and sometimes forget the loaded trailer is there. Allows me to adjust the height, and now my trailer rides flat and level. This is not a paid review, I am a scrapper and I haul tons of heavy metal all week long. You can use any part of this. I believe in word of mouth advertising.
Excellent fit for my 1997 Ford Ranger (6' bed 4cyl). Package arrived in TWO days. Received hitch at 1300hrs and had it installed within 2 hrs! ... and I had to drill the two holes in the frame as mine didn't have the pre-drilled holes. easy-peasy. Bought another brand drom etrailer several years ago for my 2010 Subaru Forrester and it was almost as easy as thisd install. happy camper.
Great hitch. Solid and compact. The hitch was slightly bent on arrival. Could have happened during shipping. I used a bottle jack and some blocks to spread the forward arm. Toughest part was drilling two holes in the pickup frame.
I watched videos on [etrailer] YouTube ahead of time and it was a breeze to install. 2 people would be the easy way but I used a floor jack and did it myself.
The fit was perfect. Hardware was included and all the bolts lined up easy. Had it installed 25 min.
Having installed more than a dozen trailer hitches throughout my life I can say that this was the easiest to install that I have done! Perfect fit, easy to attach with no issues. The hardest part was removing the J-bolt from the frame, and that wasn't that difficult really. I wish all of the hitches I have installed in the past were this easy! Big plus was how fast I got it, a day earlier that expected.

Still working great. Use it almost everyday. Bolts have never needed tightening and finish is still good with no rust or discoloration. Very pleased.
It showed up slightly bent (i blame fedex) so I had to do some percussive adjustments with my 8lb sledge but it fit great and tows no problem! It's not particularly heavy but pulled the 2500lbs of gravel no problem!
i am 78 years old cancer survivor with arthritis in wrists and shoulders. My wife is 75 with 2 knee replacements and arthritis in hands and shoulders.
Together we installed the tow hitch on a 2002 Ford Ranger in 1 hour and 10 minutes yep we tightened the bolts to 110 ft lb and this included selecting the tools and stowing them after the job. Great hitch, fast delivery, and great price. Thanks and God bless.
I purchased this hitch from Curt because I believed they were a high quality manufacturer. The quality of these welds are extremely poor. Bad enough that I’m worried about them. Luckily I purchased this hitch for my ranger before I needed to purchase one for my F350. Learned my lesson. I won’t be buying any more Curt products from this point forward.
This hitch fits my 96 Ford Ranger quite well. As per the instructions, I had to drill two holes in the frame. It fit and it works. I use it quite often to pull a 5 x 10 ft trailer and large zero turn mower.

Fine. Use it a lot.
The hitch installed without a hitch. It took me alone, less than 45 minutes to get it on. Im very happy with my purchase the shipping time and etrailer as a whole. I'm only towing a 10 foot single axel but the stock bumper hitch was already bending my bumper. The new hitch seems very sturdy and will handle my small trailer just fine.
Hitch arrived in 3 days. Directions very clear. One hour start to finish as I did it alone with the help of the truck bottle jack. Much faster if 2 people. Perfect fit and spare tire cranks right back into place.
I have bought 3 or 4 hitches from etrailer, they are a custom fit and very easy to install. Great product at a great price. Very fast shipping, got mine in two days.
Great service and great fit on truck.

I have purchased several curt items and all have preformed very well. Pricing is usually the best out there.
Awesome.!! Awesome project start to finish. etrailer was FAST. easy to do. even on a 21 year old truck
The hitch fit perfect. I bent my bumper up trying to tow a friend out of a mud hole. Looking on line for used bumpers most were pickup only no shipping. It was cheaper to get a brand new trailer hitch. I have a 2002 Ford ranger supercab stepside. this bolted right up to the stock holes in the frame I did not even have to drill any holes. 20 minutes it took me to put on. I call
Jesse M and he answered a few questions and took my order. Great service
Excellent hitch. Installed in less than 30 minutes. Exact fit

Hitch has worked flawlessly. Going to add one to the Tacoma soon without any hesitation.
Very nice , heavy duty hitch fit my truck perfectly - did not even have to do any drilling . Rigged up a carrier on my Jack and braced my bumper with 2 - 2 ' stepladders, pulled old bolts and lifted hitch into place and bolted on , piece of cake one man operation.

Works fine, have used for trailers, extenders, bike racks, motorcycle rack, cargo hauler
Excellent receiver, easy to install even with having to drill two holes. Only reason I gave a less than excellent review is due to the bolts provided. I would have liked the bolts to be of a higher grade and better manufacture. Bolts made in the USA would have suited me better although the ones provided are of good enough quality for the majority of installations. It only took me about an hour to install the hitch on my 1991 ford ranger and it looks good.

one year later it is working well.
Product is as advertised, shipping was very quick and free.
Came quickly and fit perfectly!
I got this for my 2005 Ford Ranger. It's just like the hitch they used to put on Rangers as standard equipment. Easy to install once you drop the spare tire. The spare will go back up just fine once you are done. It even fit with an aftermarket dual exhaust system.
