etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installation - 2015 Ford Explorer- Video
Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to be taking a look at the etrailer Class III Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver on our 2015 Ford Explorer.Here's what our hitch is going to look like once we have it installed. It's going to sit right below the bumper, but that flat black finish on it means it's going to blend in really well and we're not really going to see as much. Main thing we're going to see is that receiver tube sticking out here. It is a Class III, so it's going to give us that 2" x 2" receiver tube opening, so we're going to have the widest variety of options for accessories that we can mount up. And regardless of what accessories we're going to use, everything's going to mount here on the side, the hitch pinhole, and our hitch is going to accept a standard 5/8 pin and clip. Now, these do not come with our hitch, but you can pick them up here at etrailer.com, along with some locking devices to make sure your accessories are nice and secure.Now, obviously, if you are towing a trailer you have to have a spot to hook up your safety chains, and our connection point is going to be at the bottom welded onto the receiver tube here. more
