My 2004 Ford Ranger I has a stepside bed and a 16 inch spare tire was actually fit around the spare tire

Expert Reply:
For your 2004 Ford Ranger with a full size spare and stepside bed, I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 13138. This is a Class III trailer hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening with a 400 pound tongue weight capacity and a 4,000 pound towing weight limit. It is confirmed to fit with a full size spare and there will be no issues with the stepside bed. I have attached an image that shows the hitch installed around a full size spare tire.
I have attached the written installation details as well as a video on the 2006 Ford Ranger for you to check out.
