You should have no problem using our etrailer.com Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98882, on the factory hitch of your 2005 Ford Excursion. We have not tested this hitch lock with the factory hitch on an Excursion, but we have not received any complaints with fit issues on Ford vehicles and we have even had some customers comment that it works great on their Ford trucks.

To be absolutely certain that this lock will fit with your trailer hitch, you can measure the outside width of your trailer hitch receivers, at the hitch pin hole, not at the face of the receiver (see photo). If that measurement is 2-9/16 inches or less, then this hitch pin will work for you.

Hitch pins and hitch pin locks like the part #e98882 that you referenced don't actually bear any weight when used with a ball mount so they don't have weight capacities. The ball mount and ball takes the downward force of the tongue weight so…
