Curt Hitch (Class III) Installed on 2021 Bronco Black Diamond 4-Door

[Gangstead]

Got the Curt Hitch delivered yesterday. Ordered through RealTruck.com link found here on the forum for $111 ($120 including tax).

Someone on the forum had asked if it came with the mounting bolts, it does.

Not a lot of clearance so you have to get the nut on before pushing the bolt all the way in. Can barely get your fingers in there, but it's possible with a 3/4" wrench. HD Modular bumper pictured.

It's barely a 1 beer job at 15 minutes. Hardest part is getting 110 ft-lbs toque lying down on your back and reaching up. I'm happy. Definitely a good deal compared to $350 for the OEM Ford one.

Update:

Profile pics for anyone who is concerned about clearance and departure angles. It doesn't stick out any further than the bumper and the recovery loop thing is still the lowest thing hanging.

Excellent. Looks good. I ordered mine a few weeks so hopefully it will be here soon.

That is still only a class 2 correct?

It’s a class 3.

so, if the ford part is rated as class II, what makes the kurt class III?

It doesn't say on their website, but it's a Class III, which is 2" receiver. Class II is 1.25" receiver.

Ordered August 9th and got 3 shipping delay notices. Sound familiar?

After chat inquiry I received tracking with delivery for yesterday. Now it says delivery on Monday. Still don’t have Bronco - LOL.

Anyways - they’ve seen fit to email me about 1000 spam emails, so I’ll count that as better communication than I’ve gotten from FMC. Just grumpy today and looking forward to my part stash growing! It looks clean and is just what I wanted, so I’ll chalk it up as a win - WHEN IT GETS HERE!

When I ordered August 21st it was showing it would be here 5 days later. Then I got the actual shipping confirmation September 13th. It still took 4 days to go from the south end of Dallas to the north end. I think shipping everywhere is taking longer than usual, probably going to be a mess for online christmas shopping.

Im assuming you still have to order a wiring harness separately? This would still be good for a hitch recovery connection or one of those racks. Im looking to be able to tow a small 17 ft fishing boat so ill need a 4 pin connection.

Thanks. Great to know. I only need it for a bike rack.

not necessarily. Ford's is a 2" and its a class II. They make class II in 2".

I'm disappointed in you for not commenting on the bumper sticker.
