Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75912 Fit A 2016 Ford Transit T250 High Roof W/ 148 Wheel Base?

Question:

I have 2 other questions related to this hitch and this vehicle: Is there a wiring harness kit that will give me a 4 flat AND the 7 prong receptacle? I see tongues available for this hitch, like one inch down or 3 inch down. Can these same tongues be flipped 180 degrees to be used as a 1 inch step up or a 3 inch step up? Is this true of all tongues you sell, can the be safely flipped 180 degrees and be used the opposite way to rise or lower the ball height?

Yes, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75912 you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2016 Ford Transit T250 with the high roof and 148" wheel base you mentioned.

This hitch has a 750lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating or an 800lb tongue weight rating and 8000lb trailer weight rating if using a weight distribution hitch making this a perfect option for carrying a bike rack, cargo carrier, or a ball mount to tow a trailer.

If you are planning on towing a trailer you will need a vehicle wiring harness # C56327. You can add the # ETBC7 Install kit if you need a 7-way.

In addition you will also need a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

To get a wiring harness with both a 7-way and 4-way connector you will need to use the # 22114 previously mentioned and replace the included connector with the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle End # HM40975 which has the 7-way and 4-way connector you are looking for. When it comes to ball mounts the majority of them can be flipped to be used in the rise position if needed, but some of the very deep drop ball mounts can only be used in the drop position. For example the two ball mounts included in the # 989900 have a 2" drop or 1" rise, and the other has a 4" drop or 3" rise. You will just need to install the hitch ball on the other side for it to be used in the rise position. I included a video of the # HM40975 for you to take a look at.
