Question:

Hi, I current have a Curt 13310 Class III hitch installed on my 1996 Ford Bronco. I am considering upgrading to a Curt 14001 Class IV hitch. Will I have to drill new holes in the frame to install the new hitch or will it work with the existing holes? Thank you,

Yes, the Curt Class IV hitch # 14001 that you referenced will require drilling for installation on your full size 1996 Ford Bronco. It will fit your truck as long as it does not have a roll pan bumper. In addition the installation may require you to reposition the bumper slightly upward and also possibly reposition the spare tire.

At right I have linked for you the written installation instructions as well as a video.
