Essential Ford Transit Hitch Accessories
1. Ball Mount

2. Hitch Pin
A hitch pin keeps your ball mount or other accessories locked into the receiver tube of your Ford Transit hitch. Just make sure you grab the right size pin to keep everything secure and ready for the road.
3. Hitch Tube Cover
A hitch tube cover is a simple way to protect your Ford Transit’s hitch receiver from dirt, grime, and rust when you’re not towing. It’s an easy upgrade that helps keep your hitch looking and working like new.

Ford Transit Hitch FAQs
1. How do I find the right hitch for my Ford Transit?
The best way to find the perfect hitch for your Ford Transit is by using the CURT vehicle lookup tool. Simply enter your model year, and you’ll see the hitches that are compatible with your vehicle.
2. Can you put a hitch on a Ford Transit?
There are trailer hitches specifically designed to fit different Ford Transit models, including the Transit 150, 250, and 350. Most hitches for the Transit are custom-fit, meaning they line up with existing holes in the frame — so installation is usually straightforward with no major drilling or modifications needed.
3. Can I install a trailer hitch on my Ford Transit myself?
Yes! Many Ford Transit trailer hitches are designed for DIY installation. They’re built for a custom fit with no drilling or major modifications needed. With a few basic tools and a good set of instructions, most people can install it in about an hour or two.
4. Is a Ford Transit good for towing?
Yes, a Ford Transit can be a great vehicle for towing — as long as it’s properly equipped. Full-size Ford Transit vans (like the 150, 250, and 350 models) have strong frames and powerful engines that make them capable towers. Depending on the model, engine, and axle ratio, a Ford Transit can tow anywhere from around 3,500 pounds up to over 6,000 pounds. That's enough for small trailers, campers, boats, and utility trailers.
5. Do I need wiring when installing a trailer hitch on my Ford Transit?
If you’re planning to tow a trailer, yes, you’ll also need a wiring harness to connect your trailer’s lights to your Transit. This makes sure your brake lights, turn signals, and running lights all work properly for safety (and it’s legally required).
6. Can I use a weight distribution hitch with my Ford Transit?
Yes, if you're towing a heavier trailer that’s near your Transit’s max towing limit, a weight distribution hitch can help improve stability, braking, and steering. Just make sure your hitch is rated for weight distribution use.
