Installing a Hitch on a Ford Maverick
To install a hitch on a Ford Maverick, you can follow these general steps:
1. Gather the necessary tools and materials: You will need a CURT 13504 trailer hitch, a few basic tools, and some time to complete the installation.
2. Prep the vehicle’s underbody: Begin by lowering the exhaust, which is held by three exhaust hangers. This will create space for the hitch installation.
3. Install the hitch: Attach the CURT 13504 trailer hitch to the designated mounting points on the Ford Maverick’s frame. The hitch should have a two-inch by two-inch receiver tube opening for mounting various hitch-mounted accessories.
4. Reinstall the exhaust: Once the hitch is securely installed, reattach the exhaust using the exhaust hangers.
Please note that these steps are a general guide and may vary depending on the specific model year and configuration of your Ford Maverick. It is always recommended to consult the specific installation instructions provided by the manufacturer or seek professional assistance if needed.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
