Question:
I am wondering if a trailer hitch for a 2001 Ford F150 would also fit on a 1993 Ford F150. Thank Bill

No, sorry William those hitches will not be compatible. The 1993 Ford F-150 was part of the 9th generation which spanned from 1992–1997. The 2001 was part of the 10th generation that went from 1997–2004. Ford made some major changes between those two generations. Those trucks went from being big, square, and boxy to narrow and round. Completely different frames and rear ends so nothing carried over.
For a 1993 Ford F-150, we've got two options depending on what bumper you have. For a Deepdrop Bumper you'll need the Curt Hitch item # C13099. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. For the Standard or Step Bumper you'll need the Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver item # 41004. This is a class IV hitch with a 2" receiver.
For a 2001 Ford F-150, you'll want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C14355. This is a class IV hitch with a 2" receiver.

Hey William, did you end up going with the Curt or the Draw-Tite hitch for your 1993 F-150? Knowing which one worked best could help others comparing those two setups.
