etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installation - 2014 Ford Explorer- Video
Ryan: How's it going, Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2014 Ford Explorer, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the etrailer.com class three two inch trailer hitch receiver. Many explorer owners use their SUVs to do a little bit of everything, so whether that means you're towing a trailer, maybe throwing on a cargo carrier to take the family on vacation, just hauling around some bikes to go riding every now and again, this hitch is going to allow you to enjoy all those activities. Now, the main thing that really separates this hitch from all the others is its finish. It's going to be a matte black powder coat finish, so it's going to stand up really well against the elements. You're not really going to have to worry about it getting scratched up or anything like that and since it is matte black, it does match the back of our bumper here really nicely.It really just helps that hitch blend in and even though you can see this portion of the hitch here, how it contours along the bottom of the bumper, and since it matches nice, you're really not even going to be able to notice it on the back of your Explorer. more
