CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch 2" Receiver for Ford Bronco — 3,500 lb GTW, Custom-Fit Black

CURT 13493 is a vehicle-specific Class 3 2-inch receiver hitch engineered to give compatible Ford Bronco models a 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight.

This custom-fit trailer hitch from CURT is designed for owners who need a durable, factory-like mounting solution for trailering boats, campers, utility trailers and ATVs. Built from high-strength steel, precisely welded and finished with a dual corrosion-resistant coating, the 13493 installs to the Bronco’s frame and meets SAE J684 test standards. Before installing, confirm fit by year, make and model to ensure compatibility.

What towing capacity can I expect from the CURT 13493 on my Bronco?

This receiver offers a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight (TW) rating of 350 pounds in standard configuration. If you pair it with a compatible weight distribution system, the hitch's ratings increase to 4,000 pounds WD and 400 pounds WDTW, giving more control with heavier trailers.

• Standard rating: 3,500 lb GTW / 350 lb TW
• With weight distribution: 4,000 lb WD / 400 lb WDTW
• Never exceed the lowest-rated component in your towing setup

How does the 13493 attach and fit on the Ford Bronco?

The 13493 is a vehicle-specific kit designed for bolt-on installation to the Bronco’s factory mounting points, giving a clean fit and alignment. CURT engineers tailor each custom-fit hitch to the vehicle’s frame so installation is straightforward with basic hand tools and fasteners included or specified in the application instructions.

• Vehicle-specific mounting locations for a snug, factory-like fit
• Designed to minimize interference with exhaust, sensors, and bumper fascia
• Follow the included instructions and confirm year/model fitment before purchase

What materials and finishes protect the hitch from corrosion and wear?

CURT constructs the 13493 from high-strength steel and uses precision welding for structural integrity. A two-stage protective finish — an A-coat liquid primer followed by a black powder coat — provides strong resistance to rust, chipping and UV exposure for long life in road and seasonal conditions.

• High-strength steel construction for durability under load
• Precision welds to maintain strength and alignment over time
• Co-cured A-coat plus black powder coat for superior corrosion resistance

Is the CURT 13493 compatible with common trailer accessories?

The 2-inch receiver size is the industry standard for Class 3 hitches, so it accepts a wide range of ball mounts, cargo carriers, bike racks and other 2" accessories. It is also designed to accommodate a weight distribution hitch if your trailer requires additional tongue weight control.

• Standard 2" receiver accepts common Class 3 accessories
• Compatible with weight distribution systems for higher-rated towing
• Tested to SAE J684 to ensure reliable hitch performance
