How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why Transit shoppers usually land on a Class 3 or Class 4 two inch receiver, then still respect the door-sticker tow limit.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Ford Transit in Canada? Start with the van on the door sticker — Transit 150, 250, or 350, Transit Connect, or E-Transit — then pick the CURT card that matches that body. We stock a deep Transit shelf today: CURT 13193 Class 3 and CURT 14012 Class 4 for the big van, plus Connect paths and a live four-flat harness for the single-rear-wheel Transit and E-Transit years on the card.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Transit cards below.

It uses a two inch receiver, shows a six thousand pound gross trailer weight note and a nine hundred pound tongue-weight note on the card, and notes weight-distribution compatibility. It is deep in stock on Lots of Parts today.
CURT 14012 is the Class 4 path for 2015 through 2025 Transit 150, 250, and 350 on the card — higher hitch rating on the listing, still a two inch receiver. Read your door sticker before you stretch into that rating. Free shipping applies on CURT gear from this store when the SKU is live.

Primary year jumps for Transit 150, Transit Connect, and E-Transit. We also publish many Transit 250 and Transit 350 hitch landers for the same window — open the lander that matches the badge on your van.
These are the Ford Transit hitch year pages we publish today for the jumps above. Confirm the product-card years before you buy. We do not invent missing landers — for example a 2024 E-Transit lander is not on this list.
Both fit the big Transit on overlapping years. The Class 4 card is not a license to ignore Ford published tow and tongue limits.
Transit Connect uses 13167, 13076, or 12123 — not the big-van 13193 or 14012 cards.
56327 calls out single rear wheels on the Transit and E-Transit application. Dual-rear setups need an honest lights plan.
The number on the CURT card does not rewrite Ford published tow and tongue limits for your wheelbase and GVWR.
Model, year, and tow limit come before any CURT SKU.
