Is There Frame Drilling Required to Install Curt Hitch on 1996 Ford Ranger
Question:
Upon watching the video for the installation, which shows a 1998 ranger, it seems that I would need to drill a hole on each side in the frame. Does that seem right? Thank you

When installing the Curt hitch part # 13138 on your 1996 Ford Ranger you would need to drill two holes in the frame to complete the install. On some trucks the holes are already drilled though. Looking at your picture it looks like you do not have the holes drilled already.
