Draw-Tite75912 Max-Frame Receiver, 2" Receiver

Went on smoothly. I installed this on a 2016 Ford Transit 350 HR. The only thing extra I did was add some washers in-between the frame rails and front-most carriage bolts to fill the frame gap. Total installation time was around 60 minutes.Steps:1. Spray the four bolt holes you are to tap with a spray gel lubricant. Spray gel because you don't want it dripping all over.2. With a round, steel-toothed brush, clean out all four holes you are to tap.3. Mark each bolt you will use so that you know which bolt will marry with each hole you are about to tap.4. Lube your bolt (yeh I know).5. With a large ratchet and 15mm socket, firmly press and rotate the bolt until it bites into the frame hole.6. Check to make sure you are driving the bolt straight.7. Continue to thread the bolt by hand until you are all the way tight with the frame rail.8. Use an impact driver to remove the bolt.9. Repeat steps 4-8 for each of the four bolt holes in your frame.10. Use the fishing wire to run the two carriage bolts and plates through the frame rail and down. LEAVE THE WIRE ON THE BOLT FOR NOW.You are now ready to lift the hitch into position and bolt it onto your vehicle.11. Grab some large, brass washers from the hardware store and with mashing tape, tape them to the front-most bolt holes. These will set in-between the hitch and the frame rail, taking up the space and keeping your hitch level.12. While the hitch is on the ground, run the carriage bolt fishing wires through the matching holes. This will allow you to keep align the carriage bolts while lifting the hitch into place.13. Once the hitch is lifted into place, use a small ratchet to bolt it into the pre-tapped holes you created on Steps 4-8.14. Leave all of your bolts semi-loose so that you can align the hitch.15. Remove the fishing wire from the carriage bolts.16. Use the washers and nuts included and assemble the front most carriage bolts.17. Pull the mashing tape off of your hitch that held the washers in place between your frame rail and hitch.18. To the best of your ability, align the hitch.19. With a torque wrench, torque down all fasteners.You are done.

The product was very easy to install and worked perfectly.

Installation was pretty straight forward, fits perfect and has all necessary components to bolt on. Recommended!

Very easy to install. Bought to pull my boat with it on Transit 350

Bought this for my 2015 Ford Transit 250. Before I installed the hitch I looked under the van to see if there was going to be any fit issues with the hitch. As it turned out there was an issue on my van that I had to call Draw-Tite to discuss and send photos to them to review. The issue is that the area they instruct you to mount the hitch to is NOT flat. Ford had added a U type bracket over the tail of the frame. After Draw-Tite saw the photos they agreed it is not what they had designed to so a small fix was needed. The fix is simple and I recommended it to Draw-Tite to add a washer between the hitch and the frame where the machined bolt is attached. This bolt is NOT self tapping but is machined thread. The washer is used to fill the small gap between the hitch and frame so the hitch will be level. I had no issue with the self tapping threaded bolts but be careful to keep them straight when you start threading them in to the hole.

The hitch is a great product but I sent it back because was shipped in a bag and because of the transportation and weight the paint was already chipped. I ordered a similar CURT from ebay that came in excellent condition in a box.

Installed very easily with a little forethought. One star removed because they were several damaged places in the paint that clearly were not from shipping, more likely from storage or packaging at the plant, at least for places where the paint was very much chipped down to the metal... I just threw some rustoleum on before installing and it should be fine, but it’s not a good look for a company when you pull up brand new part out of And undamaged box, and the part has nicks all over it already

Very satisfied
