Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 6,000 lbs. WD and 600 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

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).

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.
