Review on 🚗 CURT 31545: 2-Inch Front Receiver Hitch for Ford Explorer, Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer by Adam Cummings

Excellent clutch with the best bindings. But I felt more like a wizard than a wrench installing it. You will likely need a jack, a small needle-tipped vise, and needle-nosed pliers. Plus a few hours and a bit of luck. Study the attached diagram from Kurt. I suspect their engineers are still laughing as we try to make Mission Impossible (do as they say). To be honest Ford couldn't offer an easy installation even though all the holes are there. I used to catch bolts, this takes things to another level. They used to install front hitches, this is much more difficult than the previous ones. EDIT: Let me explain the complexity when others said it's easy. I doubt they caught block mounts and aren't needed for hauling bikes etc. For those planning on running a heavy duty snow blower etc? You want to install all possible block mounts. Good luck installing. A beast of a receiver when installed properly I think!
