Tips for Removing Bolts of 2019 Ford Ranger to Install etrailer Hitch
Question:
I am ordering the etrailer Class III Receiver Hitch - 2019 Ford Ranger today. Your pictures and other answers answered all but two questions. 1. If I am unable to break free the 21mm mounting bolts have you worked with any installers in the Lowell MA/Nashua NH area? 2. Is there adequate thread engagement using the existing bolts? Working in the nuclear power industry, thread engagement was always a concern. No rush in answering as I am about to order the hitch in any case. :

You shouldn't have any problems getting the install bolts of your 2019 Ford Ranger to break free so that you can install the etrailer hitch # e63ZR. One trick I personally have used is to spray the bolts with WD40 or other penetrating oil about a week before you plan to do the install and by the time you go to install the hitch the bolts will be easy to work with. We do not have specific installers we've worked with in your area but typically it's best to find someone with a solid reputation and let them handle the job.
The bolts were designed to be removed and have a hitch installed using them to attach it so there is definitely enough thread engagement for the hitch to be secured.
