Exactly what I needed to replace an existing hitch on my Ford e350 Quigley Van- direct fit install, simple and fast. Once again e-trailer comes thru with the fastest shipping around.

After one year…..perfect! Has endured 100’s of hours on beaches and showing zero signs of wear or rust

i could not ask for more, great product Thank You..Brian,

The direct bolt on one I got for our E-350 van was a breeze to install,, no drilling needed !



by:

Bought this hitch specifically because it was a no drill application and it is made by Curt.
I've had Curt products in the past and have always been pleased with their quality and performance.
This hitch was no exception. It fit perfectly on my van, and all of the holes lined up perfectly with the frame holes. I used the grade 8 bolts and nuts in the package and installed the hitch by myself in 45 minutes. The fact that it was really well priced and came with an awesome electrical connector and bracket was just icing on the cake!



by:

One of the easiest trailer hitch installations I have ever done. For my 2014 E350 it took 29 minutes from sweeping the floor and gathering the two wrenches to putting the box and protective wrapping into the recycling bin. The hitch itself was boxed and protectively wrapped and it arrived undamaged. Better prices, delivery time, and shipping condition than Amazon reports for a competing hitch manufacturer.



by:

Perfect fit. It literally took me 5 minutes to complete installation.



by:

I received my Curt hitch receiver quickly and packed really well. I am really pleased with the quality of Curt's products and very happy they are manufactured in the United States by an American manufacturer. I have always been able to depend on etrailer for excellent service and quality products.

I purchased the Curt trailer receiver for my 2000 Ford E150 van. Purchased item online and had fast delivery. Installation was very easy, did not need to drill. Also, was a one person installation.

Still looks good. Some paint fading but I live in an area that uses a lot of salt and I dont wash as much as I should.



by:
2013 Ford Van

We bought the hitch for a van conversion project we did last winter. My 4 year old grandson helped me put it on by lifting it on a floor jack while I put the bolts in. The install probably took 15 minutes as it fit like a glove but we fooled around and laughed and it took us about 40 minutes. The quality was excellent and we used it a lot this summer towing our cargo trailer and our storage rack. Delivery was quick with no damage or scratches



by:

Installed fine. No issues.



by:

Perfect Fit with little work to attach. I have used it to pull all kinds of trailers and equipment over the year. With the exception of a few scratches it looks almost new.

The only problem I have is that is drags a little on the driveway hill when the van is fully loaded. Other that its supper

You can use part # RM-050 to help protect the hitch. It works with or without accessory installed as long as whatever is in the receiver doesn't hang below the Rollaway solid steel roller.

I purchased this trailer hitch for a 2012 ford e350 extended length passenger van.
The website contained the information I needed to pick the right hitch for my van and it was easy to order. It arrived in about 1 week.
I have a spare tire under the rear of the van that winches up and down and I was concerned about a good fit with the tire. It was a perfect fit with the holes pre-drilled in the van and it was very easy to install, about 1/2 hour. The spare tire fits snugly to the back of the hitch like it should and it was easy to do by myself since the van has enough room to work under it. I'm very happy with the service and the product.

2012 Ford E-250

purchased a curt 13055 trailer hitch for my 2012 ford E250 van when i went to install it the holes didn't line up. they were 1/2 inch off center in the rear and 1 1/2 inches off in the front. when i called to inquire about the miss fit i was told to try to strech the hitch to make it fit. so either i have to gouge the holes in the frame larger or sent it back. i think i will send it back.



by:

Took about 1/2 to install by myself. Used two 18 high storage totes as my helper. The thing is pretty light and was easy to handle. Bolted up with no issues. It clears the spare but not by much; maybe a 1/4 inch or so. I have basically stock tires. Van has a basic flush bumper (not a step) so hitch is definitely a knee knocker. The receiver area is now painted bright orange. My cargo carrier fits fine, doesn’t go though to spare.

2011 Ford Van

The hitch that i purchased is better looking than i expected, it took me less than 30 minutes to install, no drilling required. The light harness couldnt been more easier to install. Now i can tow my gear every where! With my Ford 2011 E350
Etrailer.com make buying gear for your vehicle easy , even when your not sure what products work best for you. Plenty of information
Love the videos and fotos.

I'm taking the time to write this because of the wonderful customer service I received from etrailer.com. Dana M really knew her stuff and greatly helped me with the ordering process. She assisted me with selecting the proper equipment for my vehicle even though I was uncertain which wire harness to get. The order shipped that same day and arrived carefully packed in a few days. Everything installed in 30 minutes with no problems at all. I will be telling everyone I know that needs trailer equipment to use etrailer.com.



by:

Fit perfect....no glitches on install...only anomaly the 2" opening in receiver abt 1/16"large allowing ball assembly to rattle even loaded...not a problem on my part but could annoy some people...not a safer issue...pleased over all!



by:
2010 Ford Van

I was a little freaked out at first. It looked like it wouldn't fit. Then I had the brilliant idea to drop the spare tire. It fit like a glove. I installed it single handedly thus becoming a hero to myself. Thank you. Now I need to pick out a bike carrier. I'll be back. BY the way, great service. So easy. You couldn't make it any simpler.



by:
2010 Ford Van

The fit is great. I chose this hitch because it is contoured to fit the frame with a washer needed to space one bolt on each side. Other hitches did not seem specifically made for my E-350. Price is fair and the shipping was fast. I also installed the Curt plug and play harness, which was very easy.

This was not my first E-trailer order and will not be my last.



by:

hitch was perfect fit, estimated 30 minute installation was actually more like 10 minutes. shipping was quick. nice looking on the van with round tubing style. If only my son-in-law didn't put that Georgia bull dog insert in the hitch - - - - - - - - .



by:
Ford E-250

I installed the hitch and wiring kit in less than one hour. The instructions were good and the fit was great. I retired and I'm fixing up my E-250 to travel on hunting and fishing trips.

hitch for 2007 E-350 vanThe lady who took my order was knowledgable, helpful, and kind while doing it. The hitch went on perfectly in about a half hour. I used it to bring home my wife's grandpa's 1957 Chevy which had been in a barn for 35 years! Thanks!

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2011 Ford E350 Van Towing Small Canoe Trailer
    We have several choices that would be a fit for you, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # 13055. The hitch has a respectable 600 lb tongue weight/ 6000 lb towing capacity, so it'd be the perfect choice. The hitch is pretty simple to install, with no drilling required. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118551. For a ball mount, # AMSC2 would work very well. The coupler on your trailer will list the necessary trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball, use part...

  • High Capacity Trailer Hitch for Motorhome on 2005 Ford E-450 Cutaway Van Chassis
    We might have a hitch that'll work for you, but you'll need to take a couple of quick measurements. If the center to center bolt hole spacing (from side to side) is 38-5/8 inches and the drop (distance from the underside of the frame member to the lowest point of the back bumper) is less than 2 inches, the Curt # 14053 with its 10000 lb towing/1000 lb tongue weight capacity will work for you. If you need a larger drop than that, the Draw-Tite # 41990-07 weld-on service body hitch offers...

  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Options for 2013 Ford Econoline Van
    Thanks for returning to etrailer.com for your towing needs. You basically have six different options when it comes to a trailer hitch for your 2013 Ford Econoline Van. Class III with 2 inch receiver, Curt # 13055 and Draw-Tite # 75703, both with 600 lb tongue weight capacity and 6,000 lbs towing. Class IV with 2 inch receiver, Curt # 14055 and Draw-Tite # 41906, both with 1000 lb tongue weight capacity and 10,000 lbs towing. Class V with 2 inch receiver, Draw-Tite # 41945 with 1500...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2012 Ford E-350 Van
    The towing capacity for a 2012 Ford E-350 Van ranges from 6,300 to 7,400lbs so you could go with a Class III hitch like the Curt # 13055 (6k capacity) or you could go a bit higher to a Class IV hitch # 14055 (10k capacity) to ensure that you can use your van's full capacity. As a reminder, you have to go with the lowest rating whether that's your vehicle or the trailer hitch. This means that if the van's capacity is only 6k but you put a 10k hitch on you'd still be limited to only 6k...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2002 Ford E-450 Bus
    I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately there are no custom-fit bolt-on trailer hitch options for your 2002 Ford E-450 bus. What you need is a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-16. This is hitch has a weld-on installation and the brackets can be modified as needed to fit. This is a Class V hitch with a 2" receiver. It fits vehicle frames up to 44" wide and has a maximum gross trailer weight of 16,000 lbs. It also features...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommended for 2006 Ford E350 Van
    The Curt # C15845 you'd looked at is a fit for the F-Series cab and chassis trucks, and therefore wouldn't be compatible with your E350 Van. I'll typically recommend the hitch with the highest available capacity, so you'll have the flexibility to tow larger trailers if needed. The highest capacity hitch we offer for your van is the Draw-Tite # 41945 which offers a 10,000 lb towing/1500 lb tongue weight capacity. If used with weight distribution, the capacity rises to 12,000 lbs towing/1500...

  • What Curt Trailer Hitch will Fit on a 1996 Ford F-150
    The Curt Trailer Hitch # 13055 fits on 2000-2014 Ford Vans. If you are looking for a Curt Trailer Hitch to fit on your 1996 Ford F-150 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Class VI Receiver # 14001. I recommend this Curt Hitch because we have test fitted this hitch on a 1996 Ford F-150 so I attached photos so you can see what the hitch will look like after it has been installed. This hitch has a GTW of 10,000 lbs. and a TW capacity of 1,000 lbs. With a Weight Distribution System, this...

  • Recommendation for a Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2006 Ford E-350 Van
    For your 2006 Ford E-350 van, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, # 13055. The hitch has a 600 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 6,000 lbs towing capacity. What I like about this Curt hitch over the other brands we carry is the ease of installation. The Curt hitch will install to the frame of your Ford using already existing bolt holes. There will be no drilling required making installation less labor intensive. If you are going to use the hitch to tow trailer, then you will...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch 13055 Fit the Full-Size Spare Tire on a 2010 Ford E-250 Van
    The Curt trailer hitch # C13014 does not fit the 2010 Ford E-250. It is designed for F-series trucks. On trailer hitch # 13055, the regular full-size spare should not be an issue provided it is the factory spare and not a larger size. Take a look at the video I have linked that shows the spare tire in place with the hitch installed. I have also linked the instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2216. It comes with a ball mount,...
