2”21 Ranger Lariet with rear tow hooks will still work with this hitch. At first it does not look like it will work. I loosened my spare and then installed the hitch and it worked out fine. Spare and all !

Installation instructions were great. Especially the use of clamps to hold he bumper in place when removing the four bolts to mount the hitch bar.

2000 Ford Ranger
I ordered a trailer hitch for my 2000 twent. A Ford Ranger on the 20th of November received it, November 22nd and it's already on my truck installed. It's a little hard to install it yourself. But it's duable and I've did it myself long as you've got a couple jacks holders or some kind of blocking to hold the Hitch up till you get the 4 bolts in and that's it..

Great Hitch. Easy install 1st job was a 3000# payload 1100 mi over mtns, S. Carolina to western NY. Would recommend e-Trailer and Curt Hitches.

Great design, easy install (4bolts), high quality. Would recommend.

Shipping was fast. Ordering process was simple. Install was easy (took longer to get out and put away the tools). After owning it a year and pulling many times, it is all good.
Don’t hesitate to order.

It's good. It is there a year later, don't Even think about it.

2019 Ford Ranger
Look, I am no wrench turner, but can do basic automotive tasks. This is easy. I didn't have a torque wrench, a lift or any fancy tools. I lowered my speare tire, used a hollow jack handle attached to my socket wrench, clamped the right and left frame tabs, removed 4 bolts (2 each side), and it fit like a glove. Applied a little bit of grease to the threads and torqued it back in place. As you can see, without the hitch, it is flush and doesn't protrude from the bumper. Made in America! Perfect fit! Easy install. Thanks etrailer!

2019 Ford Ranger
New hitch was delivered quickly. Easy to install. 2019 Ranger has a tab on the bumper and frame that I was able to temporarily use a bolt and nut through to hold the bumper in place while the bumper bolts were removed to position the hitch. I used a floor jack to position the hitch and then bolted it into place. Took about 30 minutes to complete installation.

2019 Ford Ranger
The receiver is a solid addition and a perfect fit on my 2019 Ford Ranger. The folks at etrailer are professionals all the way. The installation was easy for a 77 year old like me. I just followed the recommended instructions: 1)used vice grips to secure both sides of the existing bumper to the frame; 2)removed existing 21mm bolts, both sides (a 2' breaker bar helps); 3)aligned new receiver to existing holes in the frame; 4)replaced and tightened existing bolts (cleaned and greased them first).
Since I didn't have a helper handy, I had to support both ends of the receiver for step 3. The whole job took maybe an hour in my gravel driveway with me on my back on a piece of cardboard. You younger guys will likely be faster. I'm very pleased with the product and would recommend it to all. Just what I needed.

It went on in about 16 minutes. Fit perfectly used it today to hold my bike rack. Very happy with the product, the service. The whole experience exceeded my expectation. Thanks

It’s still working great!
by: DH09/14/2023
Great value for the money. Installation for a "novice" is a little trickier than advertised. For a 2021 Ford Ranger, you need a 21mm deep socket, torque wrench, robust c-clamps, as well as a second person to hold the receiver in place while the bolts are re-installed. I had to drop the spare to fit the receiver in place so that added more time. But overall, I'm very happy with the finished product though installation took a little longer than anticipated.
by: MarkD08/12/2023
Received the hitch quicker than I thought.
Arrived in good shape.
I watched the installation video before hand, so I was pretty much prepared. The actual installation would have been much easier if the guy in the video had been delivered along with the hitch - lol -
I had pretty good clearance under my Ranger, so I didn’t need a lift. I propped the hitch up on a 5 gallon bucket and was able to maneuver it into the bumper slots by myself. Definitely would have been easier with a second set of hands, but this 74 year old dude did it by himself in about an hour! Hardest part was getting the bolts out and tightening to the prescribed XXX foot pounds. (I’ll ask a mechanic friend to check that with a torque wrench later).

2021 Ford Ranger
Wonderful! Was a great price and shipping. Great quality and fit. Me and my teen daughter crawled under my 2021 Ranger XL and using just a wrench we had it on in 10-15 minutes. Easiest with an extra hand but you could clamp it up or other methods to help hold it till bolted. Have pulled three different trailers no issues. Love it. Thanks.

Beware, does NOT fit TREMOR model. Spare tire does not fit probably after hitch.

I did reach out to the manufacturer and while it is a tight fit, it is ok for the spare tire to touch the back of the hitch.
by: Dustin06/28/2020
2019 Ford Ranger
Easiest receiver hitch I've ever installed! Used two quick clamps to hold the bumper to the frame per the instructions. 1/2" cordless impact gun zipped out the four bumper bolts. While laying under the truck, lifted the receiver up into place. Started one bolt on each side to hold the hitch. Started the two remaining bolts by hand, tightened all four with the impact. Removed the quick clamps, tightened to torque spec with a Snap-On 1/2" torque wrench. Done is less than 10 minutes.
by: Michael09/22/2023
The product was excellent. The packaging can use work. The box had damage and the hitch had cosmetic damage. The delivery carrier almost didn’t drop it off because of that he said it was warranted for a return because of the damages. However, he was more concerned about it than I was. I ended up sanding and spray painting the effected areas and installed the hitch onto my truck. It was a simple installation.
by: Paul07/28/2021
2020 Ford Ranger
The Curt hitch was on backorder and arrived much quicker than expected. It was a simple install, only took about 15 to 20 minutes. One note of caution, the torque value in the instruction sheet states 196 ft-lbs, should only be 146 ft-lbs for a 2019+ Ranger. Once installed, it looks great on the truck.
Thanks to etrailer for offering a great product and great service!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Recommended Ball Mount and Trailer Ball for 2019 Ford RangerI'm assuming you're wondering which ball mount you're needing. When installed, the receiver tube will be about 19 inches off the ground, given that the average trailer coupler height is 17-18 inches, I'd recommend the # AMSC2 which offers a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop, depending on the orientation you use it in. For a 2 inch ball, use # 63845 or # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Ford RangerThe trailer hitch that I recommend for a 2020 Ford Ranger is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417 which is a custom bolt-on fit that does not require any cutting or drilling. The process should actually only take you around 20 to 40 minutes. I have attached an install photo for you as well. For a trailer wiring harness, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 22124 is your best option as it does not require any splicing therefore is almost entirely plug and play. I also recommend...

- Does the Spare Tire Need To Be Lowered To Install the Curt Hitch On a 2019 Ford RangerThe spare tire will need to be lowered to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417 on a 2019 Ford Ranger. I understand the instructions do not state this is needed but we have found that this step is required to install a trailer hitch on a Ford Ranger. That said, the spare tire will install right back up into place once the hitch is in position so there should be no worries here. In order to lower the spare tire, there should be a tool somewhere in the vehicle which you can...
view full answer... - Comparing Draw-Tite and etrailer Trailer Hitches for 2019 Ford RangerThe Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2019 Ford Ranger are very similar, with the biggest difference being the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '19 Ranger are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417
view full answer... - Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit With 20 Spare Tire/WheelWhen you say 20 inches tires I believe you are referring to the wheels on the 2019 Ford Ranger. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417 fit all models of the 2019 Ford Ranger which normally have tire sizes that are 16-18" wheels. The hitch will most likely not fit with 20" wheels. You may need to remove the spare and store it elsewhere or get a smaller sized spare.
view full answer... - What Size Socket Is Needed To Install Hitch In 2020 Ford RangerPer the instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417, you will need a 21mm socket for this install as well as a 6" extension. Included are the full instructions that should help get you started.

I went ahead and attached the comparison video for you again. The Draw-tite hitch in the video is no longer available.

Anything less would have a 1-1/4" receiver and is not available for a 2019 Ford Ranger. A smaller receiver would also not be compatible with your # BA22B. You may not need a high towing and tongue weight capacity but this hitch is the best option for your bike rack. It has a 900 lb tongue weight capacity which is more than enough to handle the weight of your bikes and the rack so you won't have...

- Will The Curt Or etrailer Hitch Maximize My 2021 Ford Rangers Towing Capacity?You are not necessarily incorrect about your 2021 Ford Ranger being limited to 3,500 pounds, but there is a caveat to this. The 3,500 pound tow rated is only when you are using the bumper as a hitch. I included a picture showing what I mean by that as well. When using a conventional hitch, like the Curt # C13417 or etrailer # e63ZR, you are looking at a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. This means you also have 750 pounds of tongue weight and will indeed have a lot more options for...

- Does The Color Of The Vehicle Impact The Fit & Compatibility Of Trailer Hitches?Yes! Even though the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417 which is confirmed to fit your 2021 Ford Ranger was installed on a blue truck, it will still work on your white truck. The color of your vehicle does not impact the fit & compatibility of this hitch! Additionally, this hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 6,000lbs, with a maximum tongue weight capacity of 900lbs, however you're going to want to verify with your owner's manual for your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and make...

- Can Any Hitch be Used for Towing with a 2022 Ford RangerAccording to the 2022 Ford Towing Guide if your 2022 Ford Ranger has the 53R towing package then you can tow up to 7,500 lbs. To meet the full towing potential, you could either use the Curt Hitch # C13417 for the etrailer hitch # e63ZR along with weight distribution. The weight distribution will increase the 6,000 pound capacities of this hitches to 8,0000 pounds which is more than your Ranger allows. Without the 53R tow package it looks like Ford calls out a 3,500 lb towing weight...

Both of these hitches are made in the USA, have a bolt-on, no-drill installation and have the same weight capacities. They will also both provide you with a 2" hitch receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts.

view full answer... - Will Adding a Trailer Hitch and Wiring to 2019 Ford Ranger Increase Towing Capacity The towing capacity of a 2019 Ford Ranger in the eyes of the manufacturer cannot be increased even if you add the parts that come with the factory tow package like a trailer hitch (Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417) and wiring harness (Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56431). I will say however that a lot of towing packages come with just more than a hitch and wiring, usually some sort of additional/upgraded oil/fluid cooler. We do have options for these (Derale Series...
view full answer... - Does the Maximum Gross Towing Weight Capacity Matter on the # C13417 and # e63ZR on My 2021 Ranger?Yes, the maximum gross towing weight capacities of the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13417 and the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e63ZR matters when installed on your 2021 Ford Ranger. The combined weight pulling outward from the back of the hitch receiver cannot exceed 6,000 pounds. We strongly recommend to make sure that your Ranger can tow up to that much weight by checking with your owner's manual. If you plan on towing with your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball...

The only significant difference is the finishes on the two hitches. The Curt hitch # C13417 has the traditional glossy black finish and the etrailer hitch # e63ZR has the new matte black finish.

The Curt # C13417 uses a glossy finish while the etrailer # e63ZR uses a matte black powder coat finish. This is what sets the etrailer hitch apart from other hitches and the reason I recommend it. The matte black finish provides a rugged look and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches when compared to a glossy finish. Since you plan on towing, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle...

Have been hauling by boat now for a year it is as solid now as it was the day I installed it. No rust, I expect this will outlast the life of the truck.
