Transit Connect specific hitches


Recommended Posts

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

Valley Trailer Hitch VA82544

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 :)

Yes I have installed a class 5 hist on mu transit

A Class 5 ????????? OMG, that's quite optimistic! :hysterical: :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 ! :shift:

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!
