Capacity of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2002 Ford Ranger
Question:
would a 2002 ford ranger 4 liter 4x4 with a 5500 lb tow rating be ok with this #13138 hitch if it were to tow a 3900 lb travel trailer?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13138 that fits your 2002 Ford Ranger has a 4,000 lb towing and 400 lb tongue weight capacity. So as long as you are beneath those figures, such as with a 3,900 lb trailer, you can tow with it safely.
I have added a link to a video review and the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13138.
To complete your towing set up, if you do not have a 4-flat wiring harness, the correct fit for your 2002 Ranger is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118344.
