## Description

Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Ford Explorer and Ford Police Interceptor Utility (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

Review: Easy install that can be helped by some extra tools, no worries about strength for pulling - So far I've only pulled Jet Ski's and dirt bikes so I'm nowhere near the weight limits, but I don't intend to pull anything too close to them with an Explorer anyways. It's super solid though and I wouldn't be afraid to load it down with a heavier trailer if I need to someday. Install was actually very straightforward. The bare minimum extra tools I would recommend is a decent torque wrench to get the new bolts torqued to the correct spec. An electric or air impact wrench will make getting the old bolts off super easy, but if you don't do much work otherwise that's an expensive tool to sit around. An exhaust hangar tool will make short work of the hangars, but I managed without one and just a bit of good old elbow grease. Maybe rent one from autozone for a day but I wouldn't buy one unless you plan to mess with your exhaust more than once. Also, of course a second person to help lift the hitch up to the frame is incredibly helpful, I'm sure you can manage it alone if needed too. What I expected to be the most difficult part was fishing the extra bolt and metal plate up into the frame turned out to be incredibly easy with the included "fishing tool" thing that was included, I just left it threaded onto the bolt until we had the other 4 bolts holding the hitch onto the frame incase we knocked it out of place, but it was no issue. Overall installing the hitch itself was super easy and nothing actually stopped us from installing it. Took about an hour total because I work slow and extra careful. I sawone review that claimed the foot kick sensor for the rear hatch no longer worked, and I was very worried about this since my wife quite likes that, this is untrue though (unless you somehow disconnect or break your sensors). You just have to kick to either side of the hitch now. The sensors obviously cannot see through the hitch itself but they're wide enough that they can see off to the sides of it.
Review: Perfect fit for my 13 Explorer - well made and reasonably easy to install. Biggest struggle was removing old brackets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is a reducer sleeve available for this hitch?**
A: You bet there is. It's a standard 2" opening, and there are several adapters available depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Just type "2" hitch adapter" into the Amazon search bar. Good luck!

**Q: Will the receiver fit on a 2017 Explorer that already has a factory tow package installed?**
A: Yes this will fit a 2017 bolts where the current hitch would be.

**Q: Does it fit a 2012 ford explorer?**
A: YES! I have a 2012 4WD explorer, and it was super simple to install. The directions are not the easiest.. but we brought our iPad into the garage and watched the U-Haul video. I would highly recommend getting an exhaust plier ordered at the same time. that thing saved our butts.

**Q: Does this trailer hitch have a place to mount a trailer wire bracket?**
A: This does not have a trailer wire socket bracket.  It would be purchased separately.
