What is the Highest Rated Trailer Hitch Available for a 1996 Ford Bronco
Question:
I need to know if a Class V Trailer hitch will fit the frame of my Bronco. I do believe its only 34 inchs wide but I dont really remember. If it wont fit do you know where I could get a Class V at? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The highest rated available trailer hitches I can find for a 1996 Ford Bronco are Class IV hitches. We carry the CURT Trailer Hitch, # 14001. This hitch does not fit cab and chassis models or models with a roll pan bumper. It is a Class IV hitch rated for 1,000 pounds tongue weight and 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight, 12,000 pounds when used with weight distribution. I have included a link to the installation instructions.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # EBMK2416. It comes with a ball mount, 2 balls, and hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # C55350. I have included a link to the installation details for the wiring as well.
The trailer hitch # C15012 that you have referenced will not fit your Bronco.
