Question:

I need a hitch for my 2019 ford Ranger the only thing I’m hauling is a bike rack. It’s a Kuat NV 2.0 any recommendations? The hitch is 2 inch but do you have anything not so heavy duty?

Expert Reply:

A Class III hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417 is standard for a 2" receiver. Anything less would have a 1-1/4" receiver and is not available for a 2019 Ford Ranger. A smaller receiver would also not be compatible with your # BA22B.

You may not need a high towing and tongue weight capacity but this hitch is the best option for your bike rack. It has a 900 lb tongue weight capacity which is more than enough to handle the weight of your bikes and the rack so you won't have to worry about it being overloaded. It features a bolt-on installation and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

I have attached an installation video for your reference.
