Trailer Hitch Installation - 2017 Ford Taurus - Curt- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford Taurus, we're gonna be taking a look at showing how to install the Curt Class 2 custom-fit trailer hitch receiver, part number C12296. So here's what our hitch looks like when we have it installed. It is gonna sit just right below the bumper, and that cross tube is gonna be hidden nicely behind the bumper so all we're gonna see is that receiver tube sticking out. It is a Class 2 hitch, which means it's gonna give us that inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening, and as you can see it has a nice reinforced collar giving it added strength and just an overall finished look.Now since it is a Class 2 hitch, we're gonna be mounting all of our accessories here and they do include a standard half inch pin and clip, which is always a bonus. As far as the safety chain connection points go, it's gonna be a loop style and they're gonna be inaudible 00:00:50 to the bottom of our receiver tube. And as you can see, we're not gonna have too much trouble getting most size hooks on or off, so I want to keep in mind that they are directly in line with that pin hole so if you are using a locking device, just want to make sure that it's not gonna interfere with the hooks.As far as weight capacity is concerned, our hitch is gonna feature a 300 pound tongue weight, along with a 3,500 pound gross trailer weight rating. more
