Recommended Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wring Harness for 2005 Ford Ranger
Question:
Does this fit my 2005 Ford Ranger XL? I want to use mostly for a Thule bike rack I own, but may try pulling a pop-up trailer.

Expert Reply:
The Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch, part # 13138 is indeed a fit for your 2005 Ford Ranger pickup.
For trailer wiring, you'd need the # 18252 hardwired trailer connector kit. For a ball mount/trailer ball kit, use part # 989900.
I've linked you to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring. I've also linked you to a listing of other accessories that are available for your Ranger.
