Is Curt # 13112 the Correct Hitch for 2007 Ford Explorer with Factory 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
Question:
I am considering purchasing the trail hitch #13112 and want to make sure it will fit my vehicle. I have a 2007 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer version. Is this the correct one? My SUV already has the 1 1/4 factory receiver.

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 13112, fits the 2007 Ford Explorer models with the factory installed 1-1/4 inch receiver.
If you are planning to do some towing with your Explorer, I have included an article that covers the steps to choosing the correct ball mount for your set-up. You might be interested in 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 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, I have also included a link to additional ball mount options for you.
