Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55KR Fit 2004 Ford Explorer With Factory Receiver Removed?
Question:
Hi, Im wondering if this will fit my 2004 Ford explorer that DOES NOT have the factory hitch installed. The frame accommodates an OEM hitch, but it has since been removed. Will this or any other product you have work with the existing 3 bolts on each side of the frame? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55KR is designed to fit around the rear bumper impact structure/receiver on your 2004 Ford Explorer. If this entire part was removed the new receiver will require spacers to account for the difference with the receiver being gone. Otherwise if the receiver portion was simply cut off you will not need any spacers as the mounts are in place.
