The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13417 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63ZR are both confirmed fits for your 2021 Ford Ranger and work well for you. The only significant difference is the finishes on the two hitches. The Curt hitch # C13417 has the traditional glossy black finish and the etrailer hitch # e63ZR has the new matte black finish. This will just be a matter of which you prefer.

If you are planning on towing with your hitch, I recommend a ball mount/ball like the ones included in the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534. Since a 4-way comes standard on your 2021 Ford Ranger, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 22124 if you want to add a potential brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 to your trailer.

As with all towing/hitches, it is important that you confirm with your vehicle's owner's manual that your Ranger can tow as much weight as you want to tow.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
