Thank you so much for your continued business! I do have a great option for you, however the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13900 that you mentioned isn't exactly a custom model designed for your Ford Explorer, so it will likely require some drilling and vehicle modifications to install it.
For a Class III hitch that is designed specifically for your 2016 Ford Explorer and will allow for a complete bolt-on installation without any drilling or fascia cutting, I recommend the Curt # C13386 instead. This will line right up to existing holes in the frame rails of your Explorer for a simple install process that should only take around 40 minutes.
I have attached an installation video below that you can follow along with as well as the complete instructions manual. All the necessary hardware will be included.
