Aftermarket Hitch

Curt recently advertised this one. CRT-13493

https://realtruck.com/p/curt-class-iii-trailer-hitch/v/ford/bronco/2021/

At under $120 shipped incl tax that looks perfect for my bike rack. I have no need for towing anything so the factory package was overkill.

I have the need for the exact same - just to attach a bike rack and no electronics needed - thank you! Just saved me $500 as well as potential delays (my local dealer said Tow Capability Package is delaying orders now for some reason).

Oh OK, great! Sub'd. I'll order one when my delivery is confirmed.

I confirmed my Yakima swing out bike rack does not clear the spare tire. I highly recommend the Yakima extension due to the anti rattle bolt setup.

Great, thanks! Do you have a picture with the bike rack installed? To be picky, one without the bike, and one with all secured?

Edit: great looking Bronco by the way! Is that the Velocity Blue???? I saw one at my dealer and that color looks phenomenal in person. The best I've seen so far, actually (on a big Bronco.... and I've seen Orange, White, Catus, a ton of Area 51).

I'll get some next week when I use it again. Yes, velocity blue. 10x better in person than what B&P shows.

Thanks! Really appreciate it. No rush.

Oh yeah, that's the understatement of the century... such a great metallic flake to it without remotely being 'too flashy'. Amazing color.

I was originally cactus grey until I saw VB on a demo when I was visiting Ft Meyers. Immediately switched and never looked back.

Love the VB color. Saw it at Bronco Off Rodeo Nevada recently.
The Kuat hitch extender is nice as it also give 2" of additional rise to help with clearing stiff or steep driveways. https://www.kuat.com/product/hi-lo/

Careful, I think that one, Curt #56434 is for a Sport. Curt 56468, available from etrailer, is for the big Bronco.

Thank you.
The one for the Big Bronco is also $105.00
I did a search this A.M. before the coffee kicked in and should have paid more attention.
I do have the right harness for my, Bronco in Waiting.

I finally got my Yakima extension installed and tested out with my Yakima swing out bike rack. The extension brings it out the perfect amount to clear the tire. However, as shown below, the spare tire hangs low enough to interfere with the rack when trying to swing out and open the tailgate. This kuat extension mentioned above might fix this issue if installed upside down. I'm not sure yet if I care or not.

Is that the FullSwing? How do you like it? Some of the reviews mentioned that it's a beast to install and has some rattle to it.
