Whatever the next item is on your to-do list -- whether it's arriving at the jobsite before dawn or getting your travel trailer set up in time to see the sunset -- CURT class 4 trailer hitches offer greater towing power to let you Bring It. These custom receiver hitches are built to tackle bigger jobs and bolder adventures, all while giving you a custom fit for your vehicle. Class 4 hitches are available for a variety of makes and models, from pickup trucks and SUVs to full-size and commercial vans. This particular class 4 hitch fits certain years of the Ford E150, E150 Econoline, E250, E250 Econoline, E350 Econoline and E350 Super Duty (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 10,000 lbs. GTW and 1,000 lbs. TW. It can also accept a weight distributing hitch, offering a maximum WD capacity of 12,000 lbs. and a WDTW of 1,200 lbs. CURT class 4 tow hitches are as much suited for work as they are for play. With their high load capacities, they are typically used for towing larger trailers, including everything from a double-axle utility trailer or livestock trailer to a full-length camper or large boat trailer (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). All CURT class 4 receiver hitches come with a 2" receiver tube opening and all the necessary hardware for a complete installation. From light-duty to heavy-duty, every CURT custom hitch is engineered to be vehicle-specific, using actual vehicles to create the optimal design. We then combine high-strength steel, precise welding and a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and durable black powder coat to provide you with a hitch you can depend on. To prove it, we test all our hitches in accordance with SAE J684 for safety.

The 1975-2002 Ford E-150 Econoline All CURT Class 4 Hitch, 2" (Part #CHD-14053-002) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, part number 14053 is designed for Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 models from 1975 to 2006. However, installation procedures vary depending on whether your vehicle is a pre-1992 model or 1992 and later. Consult the appropriate installation figures for your model year.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the gross load capacity is 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight. When used as a weight-distribution hitch, the capacity is 12,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,200 lbs. tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch weight is 40 lbs.
The spare tire may need to be lowered during installation to avoid contact with the hitch. However, relocation of the spare tire is not required. You may reposition it forward to avoid contact. After installation, raise the spare tire and check for clearance between the differential and brake lines.
Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with a carbon canister on the driver's side frame rail, you must lower it before installation. This is necessary to avoid drilling into it and to access the frame attachment surfaces. After installation, raise the carbon canister and check for clearance between the differential and brake lines.
Yes, drilling is required. For 1992 and later models, you will drill a 1/2" hole in each frame rail using the hitch as a template. For pre-1992 models, you will drill three holes per side through the frame with a 1/2" drill bit. Be careful not to drill into the carbon canister. Some vehicles may have existing holes in the frame rail that can be used instead of drilling new ones.
Yes, you must remove frame undercoating from the attachment surfaces before installation. This is required for both 1992 and later models and pre-1992 models.
Yes, if your vehicle has a factory-installed optional driver's side trailer wiring connection on the bumper, you must disconnect it before installation. After the hitch is installed, reinstall the factory trailer wiring connection around the hitch.
All fasteners must be tightened to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to both 1992 and later models and pre-1992 models.
The parts list includes: 14 flat washers (1/2"), 4 hex head cap screws (1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4"), 2 carriage bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4"), 6 round hole spacers (0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00"), 2 fender washers (1/2"), 4 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00"), 8 wedge spacers (1/2"), 4 hex head cap screws (1/2-13 UNC, 2-1/4"), and 8 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC). Hardware usage varies by application.
The manual specifies that a 1/2" drill bit is required for drilling frame holes. A wrench or socket set for tightening 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. is also necessary. The manual does not list other specific tools required.
Yes. For 1992 and later models, you position the hitch by lining up existing holes and drill a 1/2" hole in each frame rail. For pre-1992 models, you center the hitch so that the frame crossmember rivets fit into the notch in the side plates, then drill three holes per side. The number and location of holes differ between model years. Refer to the appropriate installation figures for your model year.
Yes, on some pre-1992 models, the tail pipe and/or tail pipe bracket may have to be relocated and/or modified to accommodate the hitch. This is not required on all vehicles. Check your specific vehicle configuration.
After installation, raise the spare tire and carbon canister (if lowered), and check for clearance between the differential and brake lines. Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.
