&d F150 Trailer Hitches & Towing

Everything fit properly. I have installed different versions of the base plates on different vehicles in the past. I would say it takes more like 4 hours to install especially if you haven't done one before. I would also recommend reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning the installation. Great price and fast shipping. Read more Blue Ox Baseplate customer reviews.

I am pleased with the hitch. The design and engineering are flawless. FYI, I did need to slightly modify a splash guard under my 2003 Supercrew. It also helped to remove the lowest plastic trim under the bumper and replace after the hitch was in place. My ATV jack was helpful lifting the hitch in place.

Great quality overall, but the packaging sucked and there was bare metal rub marks in the finish from shipping. Seriously, why put that much effort into the quality and then ship it cross county in the equivalent of a brown paper bag? Instruction were so-so at best. An installation diagram separate from the installation instructions revealed a missing step - causing me to have to redo one step. Not difficult, and could be done in about an hour with clearer instructions. Read more Curt Receiver Hitch customer reviews.

The installation went well, although a little difficult positioning the unit without a helper. I used my floor jack to maneuver the hitch in place and align with the existing truck holes. I had to trip about 1/2" off the bottom of the air dam only in the 2" wide receiver portion. I would have preferred the receiver tube to sit slightly further back to be less noticeable.

I was impressed with the quality of the hitch. The hitch was received the day after I placed the order. There was a slight issue with the mounting to my vehicle. I had to use some spacers to level the hitch due to the the back portion not going flush with my frame. Some sort of cover on the bottom of the vehicle would not allow the hitch to be mounted level.

Definitely not for a novice to install. Power tools needed, tight places for bolt installment, minimum of two people to lift and place receiver correctly for bolt installment. Looks great, solid piece of equip. Well out of sight when not in use which makes hookup to accessory equip a little difficult. Otherwise working well.
