I have a round hitch currently and used to have a squre hitch. Personally I think the round looks better and it is tucked away a little better than the square one I had.

 

Here, I just went out and took these to show you what the round Hidden Hitch looks like. Personally I like it better.







Hope that helps.

 

mine is factory square

 

After looking at Tracy's pictures I'm not liking the looks of the round tube. No offense Tracy.

 

so on the f150, how do you know if its class III or IV

 

should say on it, it should also have max load capacities, if it doesn't don't use it because DOT will be all over your *** if something happens, or if you get pulled over pulling something

 

Mine doesn't have that on it

 

I like the square tubes better, and that's what I have.

 

HMMMM My ranger is rated by FORD to pull MAX ( 6,000 lbs ) and the payload in the bed of the truck is rated by FORD for MAX ( 1,650 lbs ) and I have a factory round trailer hitch.

 

i looked on the bottom of the hitch on my 150 and its rated for 9,900 lbs. so im good for nething i wanna do. cept pull a big *** horse trailer like my girlfriends. its 11000lbs dry. lol. her damn 88 454 dually struggles a little bit. haha

 

i was comparing the tow ratings between 98' rangers and 2006 rangers the other day. Surprisingly, for 2006, they are about 150 lbs LOWER... Me and my buddy had our owner manuals out comparing the numbers and they were very similar, but the 98's seem to be higher. also, the GCWR was a bit higher as well for them. Thought that was wierd. Just goes to show you that the older stuff is built better. HOWEVER, my 4.0 has a lot more horsepower than the 98 whcih i thing was only rated at like 160 hp. hahaha

 

the reason the 2006's are lower, IMO, is if your buying a truck to haul ****, buy a truck... our trucks are sporty and fun, not a work horse

 

whoops



whoops



(i got a class 3 to tow the jeep, so no more bumper pulls for me, but if i was never put on jeep duty id still be rollin with the bumper hook)

 

i didn't say that it wouldn't do it... i was just saying that it wasn't really what it was intended for...

 

omg that's with a 4 banger and 5 speed? I

 

Sorry to thread jack.

But do you have any pictures of you exhaust from underneath? I love how those tips look and want to do something like that on my sliverado.

 

who y9ou talkin to?

 

sure is

youll like these pics even better

started at 15 ft above sea level





lots of time spent in 3rd and 2nd gear on the steeps, and i would NOT want to have to start from a dead stop on an incline as i figure that would end the clutch.

 

thread jack continued

personally duals on a diesel dont go ... just one big tip out the right and blow some smoke

but then again its your truck

 

OMG the reason I say that is because you have a 5spd xcab 4 banger. I have a 2wd Edge 5spd 3.0 reg cab with 4.10s and it was horrible hauling a full load of firewood plus a trailer of firewood. I would hate to be your clutch.
That should be in a commercial....lol

 

i wouldnt do duals on a diesel either... theres like 2 PS diesels w/ duals and they just look goofy and outta place. id stick w/ a 4/5" turboback exhaust pipe and a 5/6" SSrolled tip. thats bad *** sounding/looking, especially on a a cummins!

 

seeing as we are WAY off topic, wanna see a badass cumins?





powered by a 4bt the push truck got up to about 40-50 mph behind it before we popped it into gear, and top speed on the car was 120mph, the engine is designed for nitrous, and our nitrous was not working, he cut the engine when the pyrometers reached 9.5

 

If you go off road or may want to use the hitch as an attachment point read the ratings. I got a square one made for my truck but the limit on it is 3500#. The cheaper generic one had about a 5000# limit. Not sure about the rounds but they look good IMO. I like my square one though.

 

thats the other bonus of having a hitch is the attachment points

still wanna get superduty hooks for the front ... 1wd on streets that arent m/s tend to get stuck

 

why closed loop? i'm trying to find something like these, closed, but also hooks... anyone know what models have these, and if they will swap straight across with mine?
