2002 ford explorer  Does this hitch, 13550, replace the oem hitch that is installed on my vehicle? Or does it mount under the oem that is on it.   Why does it take 1 month to receive this hitch?Glenn S.Oct 28, 2020
Best Answer:Hi Glen, If the vehicle is equipped with an OEM hitch, you cannot use both receivers at the same time. This may overload and cause damage to the vehicle. Please click the link below for the installation guide. <a href="https://assets.curtmfg.com/masterlibrary/13550/installsheet/13550_INS.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.curtmfg.com/masterlibrary/13550/installsheet/13550_INS.pdf</a>
