Trailer Hitch
Hello.
Do anyone know if the trailer hitch from a 2000 F250 fits a 2001 Excursion?
The hitch is mounted under the car, bolted beside the fuel tank.
i have looked at new ones at Rockauto, and they look the same.
Mine on my excursion has rusted up, and the only one i can get used around here is from a 2000 F250.

It would bolt up, in theory. Unfortunately, the angle of the frame rails in the back are different, and the F series would be angled down very noticeably. Many of us here have had the same problem and purchased the Curt replacement. I think mine was something like $235ish. Without looking at the decal, I think that puts you at 12,000 trailer weight, and 1,200 tongue with with a WD hitch.
If you are towing heavier than that you will need the Super Hitch for about $600.

P.S. I just realized you are in Norway. Perhaps the Curt hitch could be shipped there from the States ? Otherwise, I think you are stuck looking for a used Excursion hitch..... which will probably be as bad as the one you are removing.

Thanks for reply. I will check out your tip about Curt Hitch. It's not easy to find used parts for excursions here, there are not many that have been salvaged yet.
Thank you for the tip.
