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..



by:

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.

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 !



by:

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.

It's good. It is there a year later, don't Even think about it.

Easy to install and a great hitch!



by:
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!

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.



by:
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.

Hi., its been a year of hard work on the hitch and solid as a rock.,zero issues at all with fit and finnish..safety chain hooks well positioned.Curt is a hell of a hitch...100 satisfied so far and etrailer price on it was a winner..



by:
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.

Installed myself without a hitch , works perfect



by:
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:

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

Thank you

It’s still working great!



by:

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.



by:

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:

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:

Quick delivery. Bolt on application was simple.

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.

I pulled my jetski with it all year and a few rentals with no problem. The hitch was easy to install. I give it an A+.



by:
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:

Box on arrival had heavy damage. Powder coating chipped, but it’s a hitch, no big deal. You might want to talk to your shipper, or consider better packaging.

Customer Service will reach out to you about the dings. It is important to cover all scratches with anti-corrosive spray paint to ensure the hitch does not rust at an exceptional rate. There are more tips in the attached help article:

  • Tools Necessary For Installing Curt 13417 Class III Hitch on 2020 Ford Ranger
    To install the Curt # C13417 on your 2020 Ford Ranger, you'll need the following tools: 21mm socket Ratchet 6 inch socket extension C-clamp Torque wrench. The installation procedure (see link) is pretty simple. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a # 22124 wiring harness, a # C45010 ball mount and a # 63851 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

  • Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Ford Ranger
    For 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. Aside from that they are very similar and install the same.

  • How To Tell If 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat Has The Factory Tow Package
    If 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.

  • How to Lock Receiver Hitch to Vehicle
    Are you speaking of a locking hitch pin to prevent the ball mount or hitch mounted accessory from being stolen? If so, I'd just use a locking hitch pin like # C23517 which is compatible with 1-1/4 and 2 inch receivers. If you're concerned about somebody actually unbolting and making off with the hitch, we don't have a lock that would secure the hitch to the vehicle, but you could have a welder tack the mounting bolts in place so they'd be pretty difficult to remove.

    There isn't much difference at all between the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63ZR to the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13417 for your 2020 Ford Ranger, so you aren't missing anything though it's smart to ask. The differences are just in the respective finishes, with the etrailer hitch having a modern black matte finish compared to the Curt's traditional glossy black finish.

  • Recommended Ball Mount and Trailer Ball for 2019 Ford Ranger
    I'm assuming you're wondering which ball mount you're needing. When installed, the receiver tube will be about 19 inches off the ground, given that the average trailer coupler height is 17-18 inches, I'd recommend the # AMSC2 which offers a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop, depending on the orientation you use it in. For a 2 inch ball, use # 63845 or # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

    The only difference between our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR and the Curt # C13417 for your 2023 Ford Ranger is the finish. Our receiver is manufactured by Curt as we selected them for their outstanding quality and attention to detail.

    Hey William, so Curt has a custom fit Class III hitch that fits your 2023 Ford Ranger with the part # C13417 which would be a really great solution that would require no modifications but the # C13900 is not a fit for your truck so it would take an unknown amount of work to get it to fit your truck.

  • Comparing etrailer and Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2021 Ford Ranger
    Good question. You are correct, they look identical because they basically are with one exception. The Curt # C13417 uses a glossy finish while the etrailer # e63ZR uses a matte black powder coat finish. This is what sets the etrailer hitch apart from other hitches and the reason I recommend it. The matte black finish provides a rugged look and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches when compared to a glossy finish. Since you plan on towing, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle...
