2008 Ford Ranger Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver: Complete Installation Video

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Thank you for the photo that was helpful; on some models of Ranger drilling is required, but based on your photo, you will not have to drill in order to install the Draw-Tite hitch you asked about, which is the following part number: - Draw-Tite…

While we don't have an install video for the Roadmaster base plate kit part #477-5 (yet), I did attach a link to this page of the install instructions for the kit that have color pictures for each step and are very detailed.

Curt front mount hitch #C31063 will fit 2-wheel drive models of the 2008 Ford Ranger unless manufactured in a Canadian assembly plant. A front mount trailer hitch does not replace the need for base plates to flat tow a vehicle. Flat towing requires 2…

Trailer hitch fits are very specific nowadays so what you are trying to do is not possible. Back in the day the full size trucks basically all took the same hitch but not anymore. For your 2008 Ford Ranger you'd want the #75082.

We do have a solution for you but the #75082 Draw-Tite hitch isn't a fit for your 2003 Ford F-150. It's for the Ranger and Mazda B Series. For your F-150 you actually need hitch #75065 which does allow full access to the spare tire. I…

I spoke to my contact at Draw Tite and the hitch part number 75090 that you referenced has long been discontinued but it was a fit for Explorers, Mountaineers, and Navajos. It would not be a fit for your 1998 Ford Ranger. The 75090 was replaced by…

The Hidden Hitch brand was discontinued a few years ago which is why the part number you referenced is no longer available. That hitch did have slightly higher capacities than the current hitches that fit your 2001 Ford Ranger like the Draw Tite…

Draw Tite is actually made by the same company as Reese who no longer puts the brand name of Reese on their hitches. So what you'd want is the Draw Tite hitch part #75082 and you'd have basically a Reese hitch. This is a Class III hitch with…

I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit, part #75082, for the same reason that you mentioned. The bar of the hitch is hidden behind the bumper. This hitch receiver is a Class III receiver with a maximum…

If you mean the stabilization bar that runs across both frame rails then yes the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch #65017 will accommodate this and allow it to remain in tact which the hitch installed. I have linked the instructions and the image from the…

I spoke with my contact at Curt and he provided a picture to show what to look for when it comes to determining whether your 2000 Ford Ranger has the front crossmember. You will see his picture off to the right. If your Ranger DOES NOT have a…
