Expert Reply:
Yes, I checked with Draw-Tite and the part # 75096 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2001 Ford Explorer 4-door. I attached installation instructions for you to check out.
For trailer wiring you would want the Curt Wiring Harness part # C55345.
For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, part # 989900. This is a kit which includes 2 ball mounts, a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, and a hitch pin and clip.
