I just got a Ranger 2021 4x4 and looking for 5th wheel brackets for the frame. Not finding them on your website. Other countries are selling them. Thank you Richard

Hello Richard. I do have an option for you, but unfortunately, we do not offer any custom fit 5th wheel brackets for a 2021 Ford Ranger. Therefore, a universal kit like the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16200 is what I recommend. Just keep in mind these are not custom fit brackets, so some drilling will likely be required. Also make sure the loaded trailer does not exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle and you'll need to make sure the pin weight does not exceed the GAWR or payload.
