The Curt 13407 is a receiver hitch designed for 2000–2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac vehicles. It functions as both a weight-carrying and weight-distribution hitch, with separate load capacity ratings for each mode. The hitch weight is 28 lbs.
The Curt 13407 is designed for 2000–2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac vehicles only. Do not assume it fits other model years or Explorer variants without confirming with the manufacturer or a fitment database.
You will need: ratchet, torque wrench, extension, 24mm wrench, 11/16" socket, 3/4" socket, and 13/16" socket. A torque wrench is essential because fasteners must be torqued to specific values (150 lb.-ft. for 9/16" fasteners, 110 lb.-ft. for 1/2" fasteners, and 70 lb.-ft. for 7/16" fasteners).
No. The manual explicitly states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED." The hitch uses existing frame slots on the 2000–2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. However, the installation notes mention relocating wires on the driver side of the vehicle if present. Consult the vehicle's service manual or a qualified installer to determine if electrical disconnection is necessary for your specific vehicle.
1. Raise side plates into position under the vehicle, placing upright bars against the outboard vertical surface of the frame. Align the hole in the side arm with the existing slot in the frame on both sides. 2. Loosely install hitch-to-frame fasteners. 3. Raise the receiver into position and install 7/16" fasteners. 4. Torque all fasteners to specification.
Yes. The manual notes: "If present, relocate wires on driver side of the vehicle to install hitch side plate." Check the driver side before beginning installation and move any wires out of the way as needed.
Torque all 9/16" fasteners to 150 lb.-ft., all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb.-ft., and all 7/16" fasteners to 70 lb.-ft. Use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure accuracy.
The kit includes: 2× 9/16-12 UNC hex nuts (grade 8), 6× 7/16-14 UNC car bolts 1-1/4" long (grade 8), 2× 1/2-13 UNC car bolts 1-1/2" long (grade 8), 2× 0.250 × 1.50 × 2.00" square hole spacers, 6× 7/16" lock washers, 6× 7/16-14 UNC hex nuts (grade 8), 2× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (grade 8), 2× 0.250 × 1.38 × 1.50" round hole spacers, and 2× 9/16-12 × 1.5" hex bolts.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a maintenance interval, so perform this check at least before each towing trip and at regular intervals (such as every 6 months or 6,000 miles).
Yes. Curt Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and/or workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If defective, Curt may repair or replace the product at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Warranty is voided by alteration, misuse, or improper installation.
