Trailer Hitch Installation - 2002 Ford Ranger

Today we are going to do an install of part number 87161 from Hidden Hitch. This hitch install also applies for part number 75082 from Draw Tite. We will install this on a 2002 Ford Ranger with the Edge package. To begin our install we must do a couple things. We have to take out this bolt and the J-Nut on top. Basically it is just a nut that clamps on the frame. It must be removed also. The new hardware will be ped in so that it is pointing straight down. This nut towards the back will stay in place however we will loosen it up so we can have better access to the J nut. Then the last piece of hardware will be going in this hole here. The bolt that we loosen will always stay here in the frame. We will repeat this process for the opposite side.

  • Will the Bestop Folding Tonneau Cover Fit a 2002 Ford Ranger with a Bed Liner
  • The Bestop tonneau cover # B1612501 for the 2002 Ford Ranger will work with most bed liners. The cover clamps on so in the worst case scenario if you cannot get it to fit with your bed liner you would need to trim the bed liner in the areas where the clamps will go. I have linked instructions for you to view. Spray-in bed liners will be fine. This cover fits stepside models only. If you do not have a stepside bed I have linked the bed liner main page for your truck. Just click on the correct

  • I spoke with my contact at Hidden Hitch regarding the fit of Trailer Hitch # 87161 on your 2002 Ford Ranger with the Edge package. He stated that they have not heard of any fit issues with your model truck fitting with the spare tire in place, as long as it is the factory spare tire and not a larger size.
