I'm looking at buying a hitch for my truck. As of now I just have one on my bumper. I want to go with a square one. What are some good brands or are they all the same? And as far as classes go, does the higher the class mean higher lbs you can pull? I just need something that will haul a 2 place snowmobile trailer and a 18 ft boat (not sure of the weight).

 

Get a class III Reese. That's what came stock on mine. I think its a Reese?

 

class III is what you want. reese is a good name, i have a class III hidden hitch name brand that has been great even after many hard pulls off it with a strap.

 

Reese and Hidden Hitch. Your truck have a body lift?

 

no body lift

 

I found a reese class 3 hitch. Its exactly what I want. I found it through the reese website and looking at the instructions specifically for a 2001 ranger it seems very easy, there would be at max 2 holes to drill (it says some may not have to drill at all). The part number is 33058, I found 3 at amazon.com but could I order one from advance or some other auto parts store? I think it may be faster/easier/cheaper to just to amazon.com, they want 155.00 with free shipping.

 

You should go to some junkyards and look for hitches. You could pick one up for a lot cheaper.

 

the hitch is so easy. me and my dad did mine. no holes to drill. bolts right in.

 

If you have dual exhausts you better measure twice. Your bumper can probably tow those snowmobiles and that boat without much of a problem.

 

i had dual exhaust and i chopped it off to put on my hitch. now the exhaust is dumped and it sounds deeper haha it was worth it
