Draw-Tite Tested Tough
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.
etrailer.com Technical Support
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

2006 Ford Ranger
I installed this on my 2006 Ford Ranger XLT (4x4, extended cab, V6 4.0L) earlier today, and I am extremely pleased with the results. It took me about 2 hours from start to finish. The hitch fit just right, and I feel very comfortable with the quality of the piece (even though I have not towed anything with it yet). I needed another set of hands when I bolted in the new hitch because it's pretty heavy, but other than that I could do everything on my own. I also had to drop the spare tire so that I had more room to work, but that is no problem at all. I did not have to do any drilling in my frame or the hitch. All in all I am very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to install a trailer hitch on their vehicle. 206128

Easy to install considering it’s a 15 year old truck from MN. It’s really solid, glad I chose your hitch rather than using my step bumper. 502138
Comments
Wasn’t looking forward to spending the money, but it is a fantastic investment, it is so much more solid than the step bumper I’ve been using for 15 years, end it is also at a better height for toy on my boat.

2008 Ford Ranger
I have a 2008 ranger 4x4. This set up was very easy to use and the video was very helpful since my mechanic skills are limited. If you have a full size spare tire which I did, you will need to remove before mounting the bracket. The spare will go back on but it will be a tight fit but will hold firmly. Make sure to look at the spacers to ensure you put the right ones in the right place. That was my only hiccup. I highly recommend this product because it was easy to mount and at a cost that was cheaper than other sites I went to. 497130

I bought this product to hold hitch accessories such as a bike rack and spare tire. The installation video was very helpful and I was surprised to find this resource specific to my vehicle (2001 Ranger). Installation should have only been a few minutes. My truck has been rear ended twice and the mounting holes didn't line up. This is not an issue with the product. I got it on there. Thank you! 891789

This is the third time we have purchased a hitch from etrailer along with other products. Every time we have purchased from them we have been very happy. We really appreciate the helpful videos that show step by step how to install the products we have purchased. We also appreciate that they care enough to follow up and see how things are going. We bought this to replace a Hidden Hitch that had been damaged due to and accident. The original had been on the truck for many year and served us well. We were glad to find this hitch and that it is exactly like the original. We like that, other than the receiver, the entire assembly hides up behind the bumper making for a very clean install. It is on a 2001 Ford Ranger with the Edge package. The truck has a full size spare and the hitch does fit well even with the full size spare. When you install the hitch removing the spare makes for a much easier install. The spare fits right back in place when you are done. The hitch has been on the truck for about a year now. The finish has held up well and it does exactly what we need it to do. 769489

Ordering simple. Parts correct. Price right. Video perfect. I did have to do some jiggling and banging to get it over the bolts that werent changed. I got it installed in an hour and I am NO mechanical genius. My only complaint would be that the nuts that came off were 18mm and the nuts that went on were 17mm. Had to drag my old self up and out from under and find another socket. Screw U-All wanted $[XXX] and I got it done for $[100+ less] and an hour of my time. TOTALLY pleased with the order, delivery, quality, and education from video thank you! of this product. Now, I will call U-Small and tell them to cancel my appointment. THANK YOU! 767097

Ask the Experts about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
- 2011 Subaru Tribeca Hitch and Wiring RecommendationThe correct hitch for your 2011 Subaru Tribeca is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13069. This is a custom fit hitch designed specifically for your vehicle. It offers the very versatile 2" reciever tube opening which is compatable with all types of hitch mounted accessories for you to use. Should you have the need to haul a trailer you will need wiring and a ball mount. For this I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55370 which is also a custom fit part....
view full answer... - Is Spare Tire Accessible with Draw-Tite Hitch Installed on 2003 Ford F-150We do have a solution for you but the # 75082 Draw-Tite hitch isn't a fit for your 2003 Ford F-150. It's for the Ranger and Mazda B Series. For your F-150 you actually need hitch # 75065 which does allow full access to the spare tire. I attached a picture so you can see it. I've also linked the installation details for you.

- Choosing a Trailer Hitch for 2004 Ford Ranger with Full Size Spare TireWe have trailer hitches for your 2004 Ford Ranger that are designed to fit a full size spare tire, but unfortunately Draw-Tite does not provide a list of what size spare tires will and will not fit to determine if your P225/70-15 size spare tire will work with the Draw-Tite # 75082 trailer hitch. To be certain that the hitch will not interfere with your spare tire, a Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, such as the Round Tube # 13138 or the Square Tube # 13019, will be the best option as these...
view full answer... - Higher Towing Capacity Trailer Hitch for 2001 Ford RangerThe Hidden Hitch brand was discontinued a few years ago which is why the part number you referenced is no longer available. That hitch did have slightly higher capacities than the current hitches that fit your 2001 Ford Ranger like the Draw Tite # 75082 you referenced. I looked up the towing capacities of the Rangers of your year and found that the highest rating it could have would have been for 6,000 lbs trailer weight. The Draw Tite mentioned could tow this weight if you used a weight...

Then for a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118314. This is a custom-fit harness that will install on your Ranger...

In order to tow the trailer level you will just need a ball mount with the right amount of drop. I have included a help article that explains how to measure for rise or drop. Or you could use an adjustable ball mount such as # MT70380 if you tow more than one trailer. I have linked a video review of this ball mount for you.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer With a 2003 Ford RangerYes, your 2003 Ford Ranger can tow a trailer. You will want to consult your owner's manual for the Tongue Weight (TW) capacity and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) capacity of your Ranger. These are the things that you will need to look at when looking at trailers to tow. There isn't really a maximum length that you can tow because it is based off of the weight of the trailer. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75082 which has a 4,000 lb max trailer...
view full answer... - Why Do Hitches Have Higher Weight Ratings When Used with a Weight Distribution Hitch SystemMany hitch receivers including the Draw-Tite # 75082 will have higher weight capacities when they are used with a weight distribution (WD) hitch system, such as # EQ37100ET from Equal-I-zer. These systems actually shift some of the trailer tongue weight (TW) forward, back onto the tow vehicle's front axle, which restores traction, steering and braking performance that can be lost when a trailer's TW pushing down on the hitch ball lifts up the front end of the vehicle. Since these...

If you go to a higher rated hitch like the part # 75082 but your vehicle owners manual says that 350 lbs tongue weight is the limit you would have to go by the lower figure. If your owners manual says you have the capacity to tow your trailer then the hitch I mentioned earlier would work just fine. Due to the weight of your trailer a weight distribution system would be a good choice as well. The best way to pick out a weight...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2000 Ford Ranger with Step Side BedDraw-Tite hitch # 75082 will fit your 2000 Ford Ranger with step side bed so long as it has the factory-installed step bumper. This hitch requires some drilling for installation and a full-size spare tire may no longer fit under the vehicle with the hitch installed. An install video is linked for you. If you also need a 4-pole wiring harness you can use part # 118344 which offers simply plug-in installation.
view full answer... - Upgrading Hitch Receiver Weight Capacity for 2005 Ford RangerIf by the receiver you are referring to the shank, then the answer is, "it depends." Your towing setup is always limited by its lowest-rated component, so if your shank's capacity doesn't meet or exceed the weight of the new trailer tongue weight, you will have to change the shank. Also, if your new trailer is higher/lower than your previous trailer, you may need to use a different shank to achieve the necessary rise/drop. I've included an article about how to measure for rise/drop...
