This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.I installed the trailer hitch by myself, so it took me a couple of hours to install. It fit perfectly, without any issues. The etrailer video helped me out alot during install. I highly recommend this item if you need a trailer hitch for your truck! Mine looks great!
I recently became the owner of a new Ford F-150. The truck had everything I wanted except for the installed OEM customer accessory Class III hitch. I wanted a Class IV hitch and a hitch that was recessed under the truck.
The hitch itself arrived perfectly in a well packed box without any damage. The installation is exactly as described in videos online. However, pulling the fish wire through with the bolts was very challenging due to the tolerances. This did require a lot of wiggling and even back pressure to force the bolts through the spacer holes. This was my only challenge other than finding another helper to lift the hitch.
Another possible observation that I haven't heard anywhere else is the clearance for OEM upgraded tires as part of the FX off road package. The spare tire is a bit larger than the stock tire and there are points on the hitch that actually touch the tire. Not sure if that will be a long term issue or not.
I have attached 2 pictures showing the OEM accessory and CURT hitch. These 2 pictures show help demonstrate how much of the hitches are shown at the same angle. Overall, great well built hitch with a solid coating. Highly recommended.
Works great came with all necessary materials for install
2017 F150 XLT. The rear spacer plates for inside frame would not fit through access holes on frame. I spent a long time, first, figuring out what the hell the problem was, and then on phone with customer service who couldn't resolve issue. I was then told a tech would call me back "today or tomorrow." Still no call. It's the dead of winter and I was trying to do this outside on a decent day today. So... I had to take the spacers and grind them down on edges to get them to fit through access holes. The spacers are so imprecisely stamped, they would not fit in access hole. A big waste of a few hours of my time.

John, thank you for your review. The installation instructions state you can either use the fish wire to fish the carriage bolts and spacers through the access holes or the end of the frame rail. Depending on the vehicle it is sometimes easier to just go through the end of the frame with the spacers instead of trying to get them through the access holes. If you do not want to go through the frame then you can always use a file to slightly enlarge the access holes to make it easier. We do not recommend modifying the hardware.
Box was pretty beat up but that is expected as its a odd shape and very heavy. All parts were present. Install was fairly easy but challenging to do alone. Would recommend a strong helper to install. Also torqueing those bolts to 210lbs is not easy on your back under the truck. One Important note, when threading the bolts onto the pull wires be sure to get one strand of wire in each thread as the clearances are pretty tight and if you double them up they do not easily slide through the spacer blocks.
Thank you I will definitely be a repeat customer
Fit perfectly! Love how it’s very flush with the bumper, looks factory.
Installed without problems by myself in the driveway, used a floor jack to lift in-place.
Fit perfectly. Install is mostly intuitive, but the online install video was helpful. Install time about 50 minutes not including instruction review. Would only take about 25-30 minutes or less if I did it again.
FYI: need a 3/4" drive torque wrench and 15/16 socket to torque bolts to a hefty 210 ft-lbs as required.
etrailer has been my go to source now for two F150 trucks I own. Installation on this product for my 2106 Ford F-150 was pretty simple. Two people and a jack make the install much easier. The kit is complete with the hardware and fish wire for the carriage bolts and spacers. Be patient when installing and you'll have the job done in less than an hour. Note: you will need a torque wrench and you must lower the spare tire. Happy install.
I installed the hitch by myself and it was a very easy and straight forward installation. It was 107 degrees here in Arizona so it took a little over an hour with the breaks I took to cool off before continuing. I would definitely recommend this hitch as it is very sturdy and well made.
Highly recommend this to anyone! It was relatively easy to install (the video attached to the tracking info helped tremendously with that). This hitch is pretty heavy, I managed to install it myself using a jack and a couple jack stands, but it would have been much easier had I offered a buddy a beer to come help me for a few minutes :). Had both the hitch and a wiring harness installed in about 2 hours.
Fast shipping from etrailer. Hitch arrived in good condition. All required parts were included. Install took a little over an hour on my 2019 F150. online video from etrailer was a great help.
supper ez to install it took longer to watch the video then to put it in.
I had to cut out the old hitch which was factory installed took 3hr to do with a sawall do to batt needing to be charged a few times to cut all the welds ford had on it but after that was cool sailing
I love the hitch but it took some maneuvering and compression to squeeze the unit in order to get it to fit and secure to frame
Easy to install on my 2017 F150. It only took about 45 minutes. Plenty of room for the spare.
It came bent, but we fixed it.
This product was a breeze to install and all the included hardware worked flawlessly. Only took about 45 minutes with minimal help just to balance the weight of the hitch while working in my gravel driveway laying on a piece of cardboard.
Thanks for the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver. The installation took about 1 hour cause I took a break. It’s was easy to do it yourself with another partner.
Very easy to install, I was able to install by myself laying on the ground.. instructions are easy to follow .. i had a great experience with etrailer.com, fast shipping and great product..will consider doing business with them again.
Awsome product, simple installation. Only issue I had was the holes in the frame are to small for spacers on the rear of the frame. Ended up slipping the spacers in at the top end of the frame and the carriage bolts through the holes. No modifications necessary.
Hello. I am very satisfied with this trailer hitch, delivery on time and easy installation.
Great product.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was everything as advertised. The look is perfect on the truck. Working with etrailer made the whole process simple, from researching what I needed for my truck, to ordering, to receiving VERY quickly. The installation video on their site was exactly how to do it properly. It could not have been done any better. I will certainly go to etrailer for any of my future truck needs.
Just as advertised. Arrived ahead of schedule. Installation was straight forward. Threading fasteners through mounting holes using supplied fish wires was easier than it looked.
Received on time and installation was s traightforward.
