I'm looking to buy a tow hitch for my 2000 ford ranger 3.0 xlt flareside. I found one on craigslist for $75, still in the box. It's made by Reese and the model # is 37042. It says it is compatible with a ton of different vehicles, including a 2000 ranger. So my question is whether or not it would matter that I have a flareside bed? I thought that the frames were the same no matter what style bed you have, but I just wanted to make sure that it would bolt on before I bought it. Thanks for the help!

 

Call Reese for that info.

 

You don't need to call them for anything.



The hitch will work regardless of what bed you have, the frames are the same
