CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch 2" Receiver for Ford Bronco — 3,500 lb GTW, bolt-on custom fit

The CURT 13493 is a vehicle-specific Class 3 trailer hitch with a 2" receiver, rated for 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and designed to bolt directly to compatible Ford Bronco frames.

This custom-fit receiver hitch is built for Bronco owners who need dependable towing without modifying the vehicle. CURT engineers this hitch to match factory mounting points and maintain ground clearance while delivering the carrying and tongue weight capacities commonly required for small campers, boat trailers, utility trailers and more. Finished in a durable dual-coat for corrosion resistance, the 13493 balances strength, fit and long-term protection.

How much weight can this hitch safely carry?

The CURT 13493 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 3,500 lb and a maximum tongue weight (TW) of 350 lb when used without a weight distribution system. If you install an appropriate weight distribution hitch rated for your trailer, the hitch accepts up to 4,000 lb WD and 400 lb WDTW. Always verify the lowest-rated component in your towing setup — vehicle, hitch, ball mount and trailer — before towing.

• Standard rating: 3,500 lb GTW / 350 lb TW
• With weight distribution: 4,000 lb WD / 400 lb WDTW
• Follow vehicle tongue weight and gross vehicle weight limits
• Check all components for matching capacity before use

Will this hitch fit my Ford Bronco and how is it mounted?

This model is a vehicle-specific kit engineered to mount to designated attachment points on compatible Ford Bronco model years — check CURT's application guide or the product fitment chart to confirm exact years and trims. The bolt-on design uses existing frame holes or supplied hardware for a secure, factory-like installation without cutting or welding on most applications.

• Custom-fit design for select Ford Bronco models
• Bolt-on installation to factory mounting points
• Includes hardware or references vehicle-specific instructions
• Verify fitment by year/make/model before purchase

What materials and finish protect the hitch from wear and rust?

CURT builds the 13493 from high-strength steel with precision welding at critical stress points to maintain structural integrity under load. The hitch receives a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat plus black powder coat, which improves resistance to rust, chipping and UV exposure compared with plain paint.

• High-strength steel construction for durability
• Precision welding at mounting and receiver junctions
• Co-cured liquid A-coat and black powder coat finish
• Engineered and tested to SAE J684 safety standards

Can I use accessories like a ball mount or weight distribution with this receiver?

Yes — the 2" receiver accepts standard 2" ball mounts, hitch accessories and weight distribution systems rated within the hitch's limits. For level towing and increased tongue capacity, pair the hitch with a properly rated weight distribution system and matched hardware.

• Standard 2" receiver tube fits common ball mounts
• Compatible with weight distribution hitches up to rated WD/WDTW
• Use only accessories rated at or above the hitch’s capacities
• Confirm pin diameter and shank length for secure fitment

Who is this for? The CURT 13493 is aimed at Ford Bronco owners who tow frequently with small to medium trailers — boat owners launching at dawn, weekend campers, landscapers hauling equipment or anyone who needs a reliable, factory-like hitch mount. If you require a 2" receiver with proven strength, vehicle-specific fit and corrosion-resistant coating, this hitch delivers a practical balance of performance and longevity. Always confirm vehicle compatibility and follow safe towing practices and limits before use.
