Not for the Ford F-250!

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. I bought it for a 2019 Ford F-250. Very sloppy landing and too small for the trailer hitch. It protrudes excessively from the face of the coupler when the holes are aligned and is very difficult to align when installing a balancing coupler. Too much play and side-to-side rattle when turning with the EQ clutch installed. Not for Ford F-250.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some issues

Didn't fit ram properly - holes mismatched.

This would be a good product if it fitted properly. The holes will not line up when fully installed. If I have to fiddle with it to make sure everything is lined up correctly when putting in a £50 receiver. it's just not worth it. I'm looking for an adapter that stays in place. I will try another brand. This may suit your application. You might want to measure first.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Something else

More careless than I expected.

Upgraded my standard receiver on my 2004 F350 to a Curt 2.5" receiver. I bought this sleeve to use my 2" small hitches. There is MUCH more slop than I expected, especially for both products from the same brand. I was expecting a snugger fit. Mega disappointed. I will be keeping this item for emergencies , but I'm planning on buying 2.5" couplers for now as I'm not very keen on using that sleeve.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Some nuances

Could already be delivered with your new truck.

Fits perfectly into the 2 1/2" square taper hitch on my new Ram 3500 allowing me to use my existing 2" square taper ball joints. I found the adapter provided by FCA crouched next to the jack the day AFTER I installed this curt adapter. Ram truck owners with 2 1/2" square hitches may want to check the factory stock location of the jack before ordering this curt adapter :-)

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Quality

Works well but not tight

Alright, I bought a new Super Duty F250 and it came with a HD hitch with a 2.5 inch receiver. Of course my weight distribution hitch is 2" so I'll either have to buy a new stock or this adapter. On the Ford factory receiver it aligns fine and the hitch aligns as well. It's a little tricky to line up all the holes just right, to allow the clutch pin to slide but once you get it your gold.It's sloppy though and rattles when loading or unloading.I bought one of Curt's anti-rattle clamps but it…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
