Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 13091 Require Drilling to Install on 2001 Ford Ranger

Question

Question:

Thank you for the photo that was helpful; on some models of Ranger drilling is required, but based on your photo, you will not have to drill in order to install the Draw-Tite hitch you asked about, which is the following part number:

- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75082

Your photo shows you already have the rear hole that is needed on the frame in order to avoid drilling.

I attached a picture of how the Curt front hitch part #C31069 will look when installed on a truck like your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. The hitch pin hole is right behind the air damn. It is a little hard to see in the picture so I put an arrow on it…

Hi Margaret; if the #TX73VJ is centered it can move 5-3/4" left or right from the center. I'm sorry to say we don't have a table that would allow for 16" of movement.
