RJM Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Has anyone had any experiences yet with the following TC specific hitches? Curt Mfg 12076 Class 1&2 Curt Mfg 13076 Class 3 Curt Mfg 56090 Connection kit www.curtmfg.com Valley Trailer Hitch VA82544 http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/c-850-ford-transit-connect.aspx I find it interesting that 2 leading hitch manufacturers have developed products for the TC, but towing is not recommended by Ford.

Also interesting is the fact (found here ) that there are existing nuts welded to the underbody designed for accepting a hitch. Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I totally agree. I think Ford just hasn't jumped through all the BS goverment hoops at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amigaman68 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Heres My transit with a Trailer attached. Did ok hauling but don't expect to get up to speed very fast!!! Edited August 25, 2010 by amigaman68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncranchero Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Yes I have installed a class 5 hist on mu transit A Class 5 ????????? OMG, that's quite optimistic! :hysterical: Class 5: Any Trailer hitch with capacity greater than 10000# gross trailer weight and 1000-1200# tongue weight. Usually a 2.5" receiver or in some special cases a 2" receiver. "Getting up to speed fast" is a phrase that should never be used in association with a TC ! U-Haul :angry: won't even rent a trailer to tow behind a Sport Trac ( with a 12,000 lb tow rating ) because of the Explorer fiasco years ago. They will rent to a Transit Connect? I bet that will result in some interesting crashes! Edited August 25, 2010 by ncranchero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
