Ford Transit (2015–Present Cargo and Passenger Van) Hitch Installation
Vehicle Coverage: 2015–Present Cargo and Passenger Van Ford Transit; exact trim, body configuration, and factory tow equipment are verified before scheduling
Receiver: Fixed 2-inch receiver
Hitch Rating: 6,000 lbs towing / 900 lbs tongue weight, subject to Ford's vehicle limits
Installation Time: Approximately 1.5–2 hours
The Transit receiver mounts directly to the rear frame rails and bumper structure. This coverage is for standard cargo and passenger vans; converted bodies and cab-and-chassis vehicles require separate evaluation and are not included.
1. Confirming the Transit Body Configuration
We verify the van is a supported cargo or passenger body and inspect the rear step, spare tire, and frame before quoting.
2. Creating Rear Working Clearance
The spare tire, bumper fasteners, heat shields, or exhaust supports are moved only where the specific wheelbase and body require it.
3. Preparing the Frame Attachments
Factory holes are cleaned and any enclosed-frame fasteners are guided into their specified locations.
4. Raising and Centering the Receiver
The hitch is supported beneath the van and all structural bolts are started before final tightening.
5. Torquing and Checking Commercial-Van Clearances
Hardware is torqued, the spare and removed components are restored, and clearance is checked around the doors, step, exhaust, and underbody equipment.
Finished Appearance: The fixed 2-inch receiver and cross tube are visible below the rear step bumper, leaving the cargo doors and factory step usable.
