A CURT trailer hitch is the key to pursuing your passions, whether you're taking the family boat out for an afternoon on the water or packing up the mountain bikes for a day on the trails. This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Ford Ranger, Mazda B2300, B3000 and B4000 (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete installation.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities

Yes, Curt part number 12012 is designed for Ford Ranger and Mazda Trucks. However, the manual does not specify which model years or cab/bed configurations are compatible. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle year and configuration.
The Curt 12012 has a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Always follow your vehicle's specifications.
No. The manual states that relocation of the spare tire bracket is not required for installation of the Curt 12012.
Yes. If your vehicle has a step bumper, you must remove the rearmost bumper bracket bolts and J-nuts on both sides. The hitch is then positioned to sandwich the bumper brackets between the hitch and the vehicle frame. Square hole spacers are placed between the frame and side brackets at the forward attachment point.
You will need a drill with a 1/2" bit (to drill two holes into the frame at the forward end of the hitch), a wrench or socket set to install 1/2" carriage bolts and hex flange nuts, and a torque wrench calibrated to 110 lb-ft. The manual does not specify other hand tools required.
Yes, drilling may be required. You must drill two 1/2" holes into the vehicle frame at the forward end of the hitch using the hitch as a template. However, the manual notes that on some models, these holes may already exist, so drilling may not be necessary on all vehicles.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft.
The hitch includes 6 square hole spacers (CM-SP1), 4 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), and 4 carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 3/4"). For vehicles with a step bumper, the square hole spacers are placed between the frame and side brackets at the forward attachment point.
1. If your vehicle has a step bumper, remove the rearmost bumper bracket bolts and J-nuts on both sides. 2. Position the hitch on the vehicle, sandwiching the bumper brackets (if present) between the hitch and the vehicle frame, and install the rearmost fasteners. 3. Using the hitch as a template, drill two 1/2" holes into the frame at the forward end of the hitch (note: holes may already exist on some models). 4. Install the remaining fasteners. For vehicles with a step bumper, place square hole spacers between the frame and side brackets at the forward attachment. 5. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.
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.
The Curt 12012 is designed for use with ballmount D-18 / 45518. The manual does not confirm compatibility with other ballmounts.
