CURT13417 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Ford Ranger

I loved the fact that there was no drilling required and the price was right. Install went well after watching a video or two. Straightforward. Paint and welds looked great. I highly recommend!

Very heavy duty weight capacity and fit like a glove for the specific vehicle I ordered it for. Painted well and doesn’t chip. Definitely pulls a load as advertised. The bolts needed were already on my truck so I didn’t need any included hardware. Easy to follow instructions. Very pleased with this item!

The hitch was a perfect fit and did not take very long at all to install. I definitely recommend this product to anybody who is looking for good quality hitch

Fits a Ranger with Tremor, with the factory recovery hooks, perfectly. Install took 10 minutes, two c-clamps and a floor jack.

Easy to install.

No, it’s not easy to install but that is not because there are any issues with the product, it’s just a medium skill level install.Everything aligned perfectly, holes sizes were correct, the weight was doable, and functionally it is perfect!

Solid product. Heavy build. Will handle whatever the truck can handle. Install is a bit more than indicated. Just finished install by myself. Can do without lifting truck. Not sure even if a lift or a second pair of hands will be helpful. Here’s what to look for. First, the instructions are not helpful—but not incorrect. They are just not quite complete. There are 4 bolts to remove and then slip the hitch in place and replace the 4 bolts. Easy, peasy—but the damn hitch is 40 pounds! Also, the 4 bolts hold the rear bumper and light tow system onto the truck. Remove those 4 bolts and the rear bumper falls off! Second the spare tire is under the truck, right behind the bumper. That tire gets in the way of the trailer hitch. Indeed, the tire was mounted too close to the rear to provide space to allow the hitch to fit.OK, how to work around this. First, drop the spare tire as if you were repairing a flat and remove it to someplace out of the way. Second, get some hand clamps and use them to hold the rear bumper in place when the 4 bolts are removed. Don’t worry about just where and how, you can loosen the two bolts on one side and see the bumper start moving. Place clamps accordingly on both sides and remove the 4bolts. Careful wrt being under the rear bumper in case the clamps slip. Third, find a foot stool of 12 to 16 inches high. Place it under the rear bumper, centered, place the hitch on top in the correct orientation, side it all under the rear end. You’ll have the hitch holes immediately under the frame holes for the 4 bolts. If there is a bit too much of a gap for the bolt, you can use one hand to push up the hitch on one side to the bolt holes and catch the two bolts to tighten slightly—which will hold the hitch, then repeat on the other side. Now the hitch is level, bolts straight (not cross threaded), but obviously loose. Tighten both sides, careful to sense for cross threading.I did not use a torque wrench. The call was for something like 200 foot pounds—I need a gauge for that? Remove clamps and reinstall tire. The tire will naturally squeeze against the new hitch and tighten against its rubber bushing pad. You do need a 25mm socket and a longish wrench or wrench with breaker bar.

Fitted 2019 Ford Ranger perfectly and easy to install. 4 stars because the packaging was terrible. Put in too big a box with no support. When it arrived the box was all torn up.
