Yes, the maximum gross towing weight capacities of the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13417 and the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e63ZR matters when installed on your 2021 Ford Ranger. The combined weight pulling outward from the back of the hitch receiver cannot exceed 6,000 pounds. We strongly recommend to make sure that your Ranger can tow up to that much weight by checking with your owner's manual.

If you plan on towing with your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop # C45534. If you need more of a rise/drop, I attached a list of available high/low adapters that will fit a 2-inch hitch receiver.
