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 Excursion (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 12,000 lbs. GTW and 1,200 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.

The CURT Class 4 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Ford Excursion Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK14011) fits the following vehicles: 2000-2005 Ford Excursion. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The CURT Class 4 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Ford Excursion Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK14011) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is 60-90 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 14011 is designed for 1999-2006 Ford Excursion models. The manual confirms this application on page 2.
The CURT 14011 hitch has a gross load capacity of 12,000 lbs trailer weight and 1,200 lbs tongue weight when used as either a weight carrying or weight distribution hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch weight is 120 lbs.
Yes, you must remove the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) hitch prior to installing the CURT hitch. The OEM hitch is held on by 6 M18 or M14 bolts and 2 M18 shear bolts. The shear bolts are located at the 2nd most rearward bolt position on the OEM hitch and may require drilling with a 1/2" drill, grinder, or air hammer to remove.
Required tools are: safety glasses, spray lubricant, ratchet, 12" socket extension, 24mm socket, 18mm socket, 3/4" socket, torque wrench, and wire brush. Fishwire is also required for the installation process.
The parts list includes: 6 M18x2.5 bolts (part 10-10503), 8 5/8"-11 UNC car bolts (part 10-10344), 8 square hole spacers 0.375 x 1.25 x 2.50" (part CM-SP9), 8 pieces of 5/8" fishwire (part 5_8 FISHWIRE), 6 flat washers 3/4" (part 30-00152), 6 lock washers 3/4" (part 30-00208), and 8 5/8"-11 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00105).
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Yes. When removing and inserting the M18 bolts, you must temporarily insert a protective steel plate between the open side of the frame and the fuel tank to protect the fuel tank.
The first step is to lower the gas tank skid pan using an 18mm socket. Do not remove the bolts—only loosen them to lower the pan.
Fishwire is used to guide the 5/8" bolt and CM-SP9 spacer into the rearmost hole on each side of the frame rail. This is particularly necessary for all holes on vehicles without M18 weldnuts and for the rearmost hole on the passenger side (which has M18 weldnuts). The fishwire helps position these fasteners before the hitch is raised into place.
Yes. Before fishwiring the bolts and spacers, clean the frame rail and weldnuts as needed using a wire brush and spray lubricant. This ensures proper fastener engagement.
The hitch is installed with 6 M18 bolts and 2 5/8" nuts. The M18 bolts are torqued to 201 ft-lbs and the 5/8" nuts are torqued to 165 ft-lbs.
The M18 bolts must be torqued to 201 ft-lbs.
The 5/8" nuts must be torqued to 165 ft-lbs.
The final step is to raise the gas tank skid pan by tightening the gas tank skid pan bolts using an 18mm socket.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Additionally, when removing and inserting M18 bolts, a protective steel plate must be temporarily inserted between the open side of the frame and the fuel tank to protect the fuel tank.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation.
The installation difficulty level is marked as Challenging. The manual recommends that if you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, you should contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
The manual lists a professional install time of 53 minutes and a novice (DIY) install time of 120 minutes.
Yes, the CURT 14011 is designed specifically for 1999-2006 Ford Excursion models.
The CURT 14011 supports 12,000 lbs trailer weight and 1,200 lbs tongue weight. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
You need safety glasses, spray lubricant, ratchet, 12" socket extension, 24mm, 18mm, and 3/4" sockets, torque wrench, wire brush, and fishwire.
Torque M18 bolts to 201 ft-lbs and 5/8" nuts to 165 ft-lbs.
Wear safety glasses at all times. Insert a protective steel plate between the frame and fuel tank when removing and inserting M18 bolts.
Two people may be required to ease installation, though it depends on your experience and comfort level.
Yes, a compatible bike rack, cargo carrier or other accessory with a 2" x 2" shank can generally be used. Make sure the accessory does not exceed the hitch’s tongue weight rating, the vehicle’s limits or the accessory manufacturer’s capacity. Account for the combined weight of the carrier and everything loaded onto it.
