Will the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 70181 Fit on a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge

Expert Reply:

My contact at Hidden Hitch says that the trailer hitch # 70181 will fit on your 2001 Ford Ranger with the Edge package. He stated that they have not heard of any fit issues with your model truck.

It will probably be easier to install the hitch by temporarily removing the spare tire, just so you have more room to work. But once the tire is back into place it will be a fairly snug fit without much room to spare.

I have included a link to the installation details for this trailer hitch below along with an installation video for reference.
