I spoke to my contact at Curt and he informed me that the dual tank setup on your 1987 Ford Ranger would not be an issue for installing their hitch part # 13138.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # C55314.
