2013TransitConnect Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I want to add a trailer hitch to my 13 TC but am looking at the tailpipe and it appears it would be in the way. Does anyone have a picture of a hitch on their TC where it shows the tailpipe also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hello 2013TransitConnect. In the over four years this forum has been collecting information, the search function at the top of the page is our personal Google! Here is the towing forum string starting back in 2009 http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/topic/38-towing-with-the-transit-connect/?hl=hitch it contains a forum member that has been towing for 40,000 miles (with no problems) and hollowood's details of loading his trailer with thousands of pounds of household belongings and towing over 4,00 miles (the trailer broke down a few times but not the Transit Connect!). There is also another posting on hitches that mentions the Curt hitch that curves around the tailpipe. If you decide to tow, please post a photo of your Transit Connect and that great trailer of yours. It will look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013TransitConnect Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks for the info. I actually read the thread in your link but didn't read a single word about the tailpipe so I started a new thread. Guess you want all towing related posts all in one thread? I didn't see the other post about the Curt hitch talking about curving around the tailpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013TransitConnect Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hey if this golf cart can tow my trailer the TC should be able to. Okay the cart didn't actually pull it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The mount is asymmetrical and bends inwards before the tailpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hello 2013TransitConnect. No problem, I am just reminding everyone to take advantage of all the previous info posted over the past years. One string on a topic helps keep all the info together for searching but the most important thing is all our forum members are comfortable posting their questions. Thanks for reading the previous towing posts. Here is the post on the Curt hitch http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/topic/1890-hitch-type-used-curt-or-hidden-hitchdraw-tite/#entry5774 . How about a photo shop of your trailer behind your Transit Connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Forget about the Connect. Just take that golf cart and hit the road! That would be seriously unconventional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013TransitConnect Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I haven't even gotten a hitch yet so no picture of it pulling the trailer. When I do I'll be sure to post a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
