Hitch receiver?

[ElAviator72]

Hi,

Does anyone make one? I noticed that Ford is saying that the vehicle's tow rating is around 1,500 lbs. Perfect for towing my little 5x8 utility trailer on occasion...

How easy is it to wire a 4 pin flat standard trailer light plug into the car?

Better yet, anyone have any pictures of a hitch receiver, especially on an Ecoboost PP car? Just wondering how obvious a hitch receiver will look on the car and detract from the factory appearance...

I have a curt hitch but haven't put it on yet. Round tubular...The pics I have seen on the vehicle it tucks up in there pretty good so doesn't look to gaudy when not in use.

Cool! Is it a 2" square receiver, or the little 1 1/4" size?

I'm pretty sure its from Curt, but I'd have to double check my records. It was annoying to put on, and its never coming off. You have to drop the exhaust and fish bolts through the frame rails down there. PITA. But with 2 people it really could have been a lot worse. I just use it for a bike rack, haven't pulled anything with it.

I doubt you will find a 2" hitch for the Mustang. They are mostly class 1/2, with 1 1/4" , with trailer tongue weight around 300 lbs.

Either way, Mustang isn't really meant for towing anything. According to this doc, 1000 lbs :

Class 1/2 hitch (2000#) is the small receiver, so you don't get any ideas. SHould be the small 1-7/8" ball, too. Just get a small drawbar and run with it. At least you don't have the big old receiver hanging under your bumper. Or worse, cut through your valance.
