Nice combination to go with my front hitch for the F150.

Good product. A bit short for my application of front mount on my F150. Recommend you use a longer hitch for mounting front of this model truck.

etrailer service
excellent
the hitch don't fit perfect with the spare tire other ways is pretty good
if you tele out the spare tire you going to have a hard time to put them back



etrailer sevicio es excelente
la pieza no se acopla perfecto con la rueda de repuesto del resto se monta perfecto .
si se retira la rueda de repuesto es muy dificil de poner de vuelta en el compartimento

Just received my starter kit and it seems like a really good buy. I’m very happy with this purchase and looking forward to putting it to great use soon. Thank you etrailer. I’m a very happy customer.



by:

Still carry this in the cab of my truck, because it came in a great carry case. The only real downfall is the plug--which I used initially, but it soon fell out. I've not used it yet, but it is the mating hitch for the receiver (same brand, etc). It is very well made, and the price was right. I'd buy again.

Joseph

I store it in the case behind the driver’s seat. It still looks new.



by:

Very convenient kit. Nice to have the locking pin and receiver cover. I reversed to the 2" rise position since my 2016 Honda Odyssey already sits low to the ground.



by:

Will use for towing teardrop camper. Good quality product, good value, and shipped quickly. Product comes in storage case that will be handy when not installed on truck. Helpful that ball was already torqued on receiver.



by:

The order process was very easy. The communication from etrailer was great. Product delivered when they said it would. The product is as ordered, looks great. Had it on the truck in 10 mins after receiving it. Would order again from this company.

  • Length of Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches
    I'm not 100 percent sure I know the exact dimension you are referring to by center of the hitch pin hole to where you slide the mount up to the receiver, but I believe you are asking about the hitch pin hole to the rear of the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches # C45554. It is approximately 2-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear of the ball mount, and 8-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. I have added links to a pair of video...

  • Can the Hitch Ball on the Curt Towing Starter Kit Be Removed with One Tool
    The Curt Towing Starter Kit part # C45554 will require more than one tool to tighten or loosen the hitch ball, you need an open-ended wrench, adjustable wrench, or table vice to hold the hitch ball and then a socket and ratchet to tighten the nut on the bottom. There isn't a recessed shape in the top of the ball mount to prevent the hitch ball from turning when tightening like on the Reese InterLock Ball Mounts. However, the hitch ball on the above kit comes pre-torqued for you so you don't...

  • Check Engine Light Comes On When Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller is Plugged In But Goes Away When Not
    When the brake controller manual lever is activated, a switch or relay is activated in the brake controller that connects +12 VDC battery power to the tow vehicle brake light circuit. This activates the tow vehicle and trailer brake lights for safety proposes. In newer vehicles, with many attached computerized systems (traction control in the case of the Ford), the tow vehicle's computer may sense this un-commanded brake light activation as a system failure and illuminate the CHECK ENGINE...

    When installing a trailer hitch on your 2003 Toyota Tundra V6 The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # 75105 will work for you if you do not have a factory towable bumper. The factory towable bumper would be attached to the bumper and you could slide a hitch ball into it if you had it. The hitch has a gross towing weight up to 5,000 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 500 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to find out what the correct...

  • How to Determine Rise or Drop for Ball Mount
    You're right, the information for getting everything correct is pretty overwhelming but you seem to have it down pretty well! In order to determine the correct rise or drop you need for your ball mount, all you have to do is measure from the top of your receiver to the ground and from the bottom of your trailer coupler to the ground and find the difference. You can use the cut outs of the linked help article on "How to Measure for Rise or Drop" I added. For example, the Curt Trailer Hitch...

  • What Hitch do You Recommend for My 2015 Lexus RX 350 F Sport?
    When you say that you have a Sport model of 2015 Lexus RX 350, I assume you mean that you have the F Sport model. For a great hitch that fits that model, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13143. This hitch fits both F Sport and non-F Sport models of 2015 Lexus RX 350. Not only does the Curt provide you with 600 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity and 4,000 pounds of maximum gross towing weight capacity, the crosstubes come completely concealed...

    I would be happy to help you find the correct drop ball mount for towing your utility trailer with your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500, but the only way to get the correct ball mount is to measure your truck and trailer. You will want to measure from the ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch receiver, and then with the trailer level measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer. The difference in these measurements will tell you exactly the amount of drop that...

The trailer hitch has an easy, bolt-on installation. When installing a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118781.

  • Recommended Ball Mount And Ball For A 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    I can certainly help point you in the right direction. The big thing here is we want to make sure your trailer will be level when you are towing. A 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac should have a hitch height right around 14". You can confirm this by measuring from the upper inside edge of your hitch receiver to the ground. We also want to confirm the coupler height of your trailer. Most average trailers have a coupler height around 17". You can confirm this by parking your trailer on level...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2019 Buick Envision with 2.5L Engine

The 2" receiver is great for towing or other hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

    When it comes to installing a trailer brake controller on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 I would recommend The Tekonsha prodigy P3 # 90195 over The Draw-Tite Activator # 5504. The P3 is a proportional controller which will automatically level when mounted within a 90-degree vertical range. It has a digital display and has 3 boost levels that will let you adjust the initial braking power and aggressiveness. The main difference between the Primus and The Activator is that the P3 activates...

    No, you will not have to add any spacers on the driver or passenger side between the bumper and the bumper brackets when installing the Curt Hitch # 13013 onto your 2004 Toyota Tacoma. You will need to remove the two bolts mounting the bumper and remove the bumper from the vehicle.
