Whatd that end up running you and did you have a shop do it? I need to eventually put a bike rack on it.
Mine is gonna be delivered Monday so I haven’t installed yet. But I spent a full day shopping o line signing up for email discounts etc on multiple websites and Amazon was the cheapest at 171.98 and free shipping. Everywhere else was closer to $200-$215 after shipping. And installing yourself is definitely doable because unlike the drawtite/oem hitch, you don’t need to remove the bumper & taillights. Just lower your exhaust. Here’s a link to the hitch and an instructional video for install. For reference, the part # is 13474.

They match great. If you want the fold down headrests, the Ford part numbers are in the picture below. The last shot is some of my interior accents.

For those interested, the headrests were ordered from:
oemfordpartsdirect.com
Some of you may find them at a better price depending on where you live. I was happy to find them and a big Thank you to whoever posted these part numbers originally.

Tuffskinz letter decal from ford accessories. Still waiting on the grille decals. Not sure why they sent separately lol. Stoked I found decals that only cover the face of the lettering.

Do the ToughSkins letters sit on top of the stock letters? It doesn’t look like they wrap over/around the edges, which I thought they did.

These ones off fords website atleast, only cover the face of the letter. Which was something I wanted specifically. There’s definitely ones out there that cover the whole thing I just don’t know if tuffskinz does both or only the face.

It ended up costing $300 all in….$180 for the hitch from Summit Racing and $120 for the install. No wiring harness since I also just wanted it for a bike rack and basket. What bike rack you have in mind? I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out which one to get.

also just added some low profile crossbars from Amazon, Curt hitch cover, and lock.

I am looking at the Ride1Up rack. I have two fat tire ebikes (Rad Rover 6+ and Lectric XP 3.0). Other riders I have talked to recommend that one over a Hollywood Rack.

Installed the Curt tow hitch. Took me 3 hours. Now that I’ve done it, it would probably take me 1 1/2.
Although it is technically less steps and easier than the oem or drawtite hitches, unless you have a lift, it is definitely a project. Fishing the wire through each hole was tedious cause of the awkward angles of laying on the ground.
Cutting the bumper was easy enough, I used a rotary tool from harbor freight. Not perfect by any means but it fits the hitch.
The hard part, getting the hitch into place to be bolted down by myself.
I ended up using 2 jack stands and wrestled with it til I could get a bolt threaded.

Mark S., I am curious of your opinion of how this hitch mounts in comparison to the others. Would you trust this set up for recovery/towing?

Drove to work, turned off bs and then it wouldn't restart. No other warning. 22 bs bb, been driving a little over 1.5 years and 37k miles. Replaced the OEM lead acid battery with a agm and no more probs.
