Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Previous reviewer stated "this isn't rocket science" and he was 100% correct... A square tube that is supposed to fit into another tube. Now, his Curt may have worked for him, but the first thing I noticed was that one end of my Reducer was flared - either intentionally or perhaps a result from the original mill's manufacturing process - so it was only going to fit into the Receiver one way. Secondly, the black coating was so thick that it wouldn't simply slide into the Receiver as it was supposed to, and after reading about other online user's experiences, I learned it was recommended to sand the coating from the corners to make it fit, exposing bare steel and eventually leading to rust. HOWEVER, and most importantly, upon comparing the pin holes of the Receiver and Reducer, if I HAD gotten this Reducer into the Receiver, it would have stuck out of the Receiver by about an inch once the pin was inserted???!!! I returned this Curt Reducer and ordered one from Ford - which was a bit more expensive - but it slid right in and once I inserted the pin, was flush with the Receiver's end. After wasting time on the poorly manufactured Curt, I'm finally on to the next item on my to-do list.
