I have the draw-tite hitch
Mounted it on top of the framerails so it wouldn't hang down since I have a body lift.

I had a Draw tite on all my rangers, Same rating as ford's but the only part you see is the reciever, tucks nice up behind the bumper. also doesn'r rust as much as factory ford ones.

Plus its cheaper, I pais $80 for mine with all the bolts, and a drawbar. The ford one at the time was $110 and came with no bolts or drawbar.

I have the Hidden Hitch round tube hitch and it's nice because it doesn't hang down as much. It's also amazingly strong. I have my tow hook on it and you wouldn't believe the stress it's taken jerking people out of mud suction. It's been very good.

pic of my hitch with the body lift
How its mounted. Take note though, that I had to cut out the back of the spare tire holder and do some minor trimming to the frame to make it fit. Im happy with the result though.
