Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Ford Explorer
Question:
I decided I want to purchase a 2021 Ford Explorer and I'm trying to research different parts I'll need so I can tow with it. Will only certain hitches fit certain trims or can I get just about anything? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
There won't be any different in fitment when it comes to trims for your 2021 Ford Explorer so I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e29YR because it has a matte black finish that blends in better with your vehicle trim and will do a better job at hiding any scratches from road debris than the other glossy finishes that other trailer hitches have.
To round out your towing setup I recommend using the T-One Wiring Kit # 118599 because it's the most reliable (you'll need the mounting bracket # C58001 as well), and then the Ball Mount Kit # C45534 which comes with everything else you need so you can start towing.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
