Expert Answers about Ford Ranger


  • Does the Curt Hitch Interfere with my Spare tire on my 1999 Ford Ranger?
  • No the curt is a great fit. Your spare tire will fit right back in its original position after installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III part # 13138 . I have included a photo of it installed for you to reference hoe it fit with the spare. If you plan on pulling a trailer and don't have wiring yet the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118325 is designed to work with your Ranger and doesn't require you to cut or splice any of your...

  • Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit With 20 Spare Tire/Wheel
  • When 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.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1990 Ford Ranger XLT 2WD
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65017 will fit on your 1990 Ford Ranger XLT 2wd truck. This receiver will fit all trims and drivetrains for the 1990 Ford Ranger. Since this mounts in the same area as the license plate you can use the Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket # 5443 if you are required to have a front license plate. I like using the WeatherTech BumpStepXL Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step # WT81BS1XL. This helps to prevent...

  • Can the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518060 be Used to Flat Tow a 1998 Ford Ranger XT
  • Yes, you can use the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518060 with a tow bar to tow your 2WD 1998 Ford Ranger as long as the Ranger doesn't have tow hooks or a tow hook crossmember. This base plate kit is compatible with both Demco and Blue Ox tow bars (that use the standard Blue Ox connector). If you don't already have a tow bar then I recommend going with the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar # BX7322 which attaches to a 2" hitch ball. You will also want safety cables like # RM-643 for this. Please...

  • Trailer Suspension Upgrade For a Jayco Swift 145R Single Axle Camping Trailer
  • The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System, part # TTRA1702 is designed for light duty trailers. This system has a weight capacity of 1,000 lbs. You do not want to exceed the trailers weight carrying capacity. Also, this system is for trailers with a suspension system that is in good working order. If this system meets the weight requirements for your Jayco trailer, then it will fit your trailer if there is room on the frame, above the axle, to drill holes and install the rubber...

  • Complete Flat Towing Setup For a 2019 Ford Ranger
  • No, the Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19745 does not have the weight capacity to be able to tow your 2019 Ford Ranger. Instead, you'd need to use a tow bar that has the weight capacity to handle your Ranger, like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380. This tow bar has plenty of capacity to be able to handle your Ford Ranger, however with this being a Blue Ox tow bar you'd need to use Blue Ox base plates or get the correct adapter for your base plates. If you don't have anything,...

  • 1992 Ford Ranger Regular Cab Nerf Bars
  • The nerf bars for your 1992 Ford Ranger with the Regular Cab, the Westin Signature Series Round Nerf Bars - 3" - Black Powder Coated Steel # 25-0565, aren't available in chrome probably because you have an older vehicle that doesn't have as high of a demand as other nerf bars do. This is a decision that is made directly by Westin as they only have the black nerf bars for your vehicle. If you're needing nerf bars then the black Signature 3 bars are the only ones designed to fit your vehicle.

  • Compatibility of Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller With 2019 Ford Ranger
  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR is compatible, and would be an excellent choice for your 2019 Ford Ranger. As you mentioned, the Ranger has blunt-ended wires for the tow package connection under the dash to the left of the steering column, and you'll need the Redarc # RED69FR wiring pigtail to connect the controller unit to the tow package wiring. The pigtail would connect to the tow package wiring as outlined in the linked video, but I'll provide the wire color code match-up...

  • DeeZee Bed Mat Compatibility For A 2022 Ford Ranger And Recommended Tailgate Liner
  • If you're saying you have a plastic bed-liner already installed and want to lay the DeeZee Custom-Fit Truck Bed Mat # DZ87018 on top of it then yes, you will not have any fitment issues. As for the tailgate protector, I recommend the WeatherTech TechLiner Custom Tailgate Liner # WT87QJ. It is not a rubber soft liner but out of the available options this will match much better and WeatherTech is a very trusted brand in terms of quality.

  • Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform For 2019 & Up Ford Ranger
  • While there is a way to add a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform to your Ford Ranger (so long as it is a 2019 and up model year), there isn't a way to add one to a Putco ladder rack on your Ranger. Instead, you will need to have a bare roof, and install it with a mounting system, with the correct part being the following: - Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System # RR83ZW

  • Replacement Tarp for Extang Snap-On Tonneau Cover on 1998 Ford Ranger With 6 Foot Bed
  • We do have a replacement tarp for a snap-on tonneau cover for your 1998 Ford Ranger with a 6 foot bed, but without knowing the tonneau you have there is no way to guarantee any type of fit or determine if it will work so it's up to you if you want to take a chance to see if it fits. The Replacement Tarp for Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover # EX1600 is designed as a replacement for the Extang BlackMax Soft Tonneau Cover - Snap On # EX2600 which fits a '98 Ford Ranger Stepside with a 6...

  • LED Replacement Lights for Peterson M444
  • We do have a couple of really good options for you to replace your Peterson # # PM444L and # PM444, but you do have a keen eye because the Tail Light Kit # TLL16RK will not work with the 2-1/4" spacing you have. One of the lights would interfere because it is too long overall and the back of the light cannot be rotated. Instead, for a couple of similar options that have 2" on center spacing and the needed space for you to mount them I recommend checking out the LED Combination Tail Light...

  • Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1994 Ford Ranger with Light Plow
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65017 is a class III hitch that has a 2 inch receiver tube. The class III rating on the 2 inch hitch does have to do with capacity and tongue weight. There are some 2 inch receivers that are rated class II with a lower tongue weight capacity and there are quite a few more that are rated class IV or class V. This class III receiver will work well for your light plow rig. The 300 lb vertical load limit is the maximum...

  • Availability of Rhino-Rack Roof Rack With Crossbars Longer Than 49 inches
  • The correct Rhino-Rack crossbars that are confirmed to fit your 2004 Ford Ranger are the 49 inch ones that come with the Rhino-Rack bars # RRVA126B-2, 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK191. The way that these specific crossbars are designed will not allow you to use a longer option due to the limited channel length on the bottom side of the crossbars. For a Rhino-Rack roof rack option that will allow you to fit longer crossbars to it you will need to go with the 2500 Series Legs...

  • Replacement Hardware Kit to Re-Install Hitch on Other Vehicle
  • Sometimes a hitch will fit different vehicle brands, such as Draw-Tite 2-inch hitch # 75082 and Curt hitch # 13138 which fit your 2010 Ford Ranger and the Mazda B-Series pickups for model years 1994 to 2010. I checked every hitch we offer for the 2010 Ranger and none fits the 2011 Toyota Tacoma. When it is possible to re-install a hitch on another vehicle it is necessary to use new mounting hardware since the bolts can be torqued only one time. Hitch hardware cannot be used a second time....

  • Choosing a Ball Mount with the Correct Rise and Drop
  • To determine the rise or drop you'll need in a ball mount you will want to measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler with the trailer sitting level. Then with you 2004 Ford Ranger sitting level measure from the ground to the inner top of the trailer hitch receiver opening. For example: you've measured your trailer at 19 inches already. If you measure the receiver at 21-1/2 inches then you will need a ball mount with drop of 2-1/2 inches to make everything level. I...
