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 E150, E150 Econoline, E250, E250 Econoline, E350 Econoline and E350 Super Duty (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 7,500 lbs. WD and 750 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.

The spare tire should be lowered before installation to avoid contact with the hitch. However, relocation of the spare tire is not required; it may be repositioned forward to avoid contact with the hitch. After installation, raise the spare tire and check for clearance between the differential and brake lines.
If present, the carbon canister should be lowered from the driver's side frame rail before installation. It does not need to be fully removed. After installation, raise the carbon canister back into place. On pre-1992 models, take care not to drill into the carbon canister when drilling the frame holes.
Yes. Before installation, disconnect the factory-installed optional driver's side trailer wiring connection from the bumper. After the hitch is installed, reinstall the factory trailer wiring connection around the hitch.
Yes, drilling is required. For 1992 and later models, use the hitch as a template to drill one 1/2-inch hole in each frame rail. For pre-1992 models, drill three 1/2-inch holes per side through the frame. Some vehicles may have existing holes in the frame rail that can be used instead of drilling new ones.
A 1/2-inch drill bit is required to drill the frame holes for both 1992 and later models and pre-1992 models.
Yes. Remove frame undercoating from the attaching surfaces before installation. This applies to both 1992 and later models and pre-1992 models.
All fasteners must be tightened to 110 lb.-ft. (foot-pounds).
Yes. For 1992 and later models, position the hitch by lining up existing holes and drill one 1/2-inch hole per frame rail. For pre-1992 models, center the hitch so that the frame crossmember rivets fit into the notch in the side plates, then drill three 1/2-inch holes per side. On some pre-1992 models, the tail pipe and/or tail pipe bracket may need to be relocated and/or modified. Refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5 for pre-1992 installation details.
For 1992 and later models, loosely install hardware first using the hitch as a template to align holes, then drill the required holes, and finally tighten all fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. For pre-1992 models, install fasteners as shown in the figures and tighten to 110 lb.-ft.
After installation, raise the spare tire and carbon canister, then check for clearance between the differential and brake lines to ensure the hitch does not interfere with these components.
The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required. For questions about installation difficulty or whether you should hire a professional, contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634.
