Question:
Im curious which shank I should for my stock 2021 Ford Ranger XLT FX4? Will the seven-hold shank suffice? Thank you.

The factory hitch receiver for the 2021 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 is pretty high off the ground especially for a smaller truck. I recommend the longer 9 hole Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank item # BXW4002 over the 7 hole one. I have attached a diagram with all of the dimensions of this shank so you can measure and confirm. This shank is compatible with the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution System item # BLU47FR you referenced.
