Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Today we are going to install part number 75082 which is Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Trailer Hitch. We will be installing it on a 2007 Ford Ranger XLT. After lowering the spare tire underneath the vehicle here, on the driver side and passenger side we want to remove the rear most bolt on both sides. After removing both rear most bolts we need to remove the retaining clip that holds the threads out of the frame rail here. You actually pry this piece away from the frame rail. Because it is actually clipped around it. To give a little more clearance we are going to loosen this bolt on both sides. That should give you enough room here to pop the clip out of the frame. Now that the clip is removed from the frame we will go ahead and tighten these bolts back up. Now we will the hardware down from the top of the frame down into the holes in the frame.
We are going to use the blocks and bolts that are provided. There will be 2 of them. One of which is going to go down into the hole of the clip we just removed. The other one is going to be down and through this existing hole that we have here in the frame. These will be the 2 attaching points for the trailer hitch. You will want to do this on both sides of the vehicle. With the bolt in position we can go ahead and put the hitch up into place. We want to put a 1/4 inch spacer up here in between the frame and the hitch. That helps take care of the open spaces there. Again you will need to do that on both sides. Attach it with the lock washer and nut that are provided. Once we have the nuts and washer assembly into place we just need to tighten them down. After they are tighten we will go ahead and give them the final torque which will be around 72 foot pounds per bolt. Do not forget to raise the spare tire back up. Then after all 4 bolts are tightened down your installation is complete.
