$89.00 good price, Where and what kind?

 

I have a Draw-tite on my Ranger and I really like it. It stays up high behind the bumper so all you can see is the hole for the bar and pin.

As 54regcab said, "WHERE AND WHAT KIND?" I want to know where I can get a good deal.

 

doc, where did you get yours?
I remember you told me once but it's been a while.

 

Check these cheaper hitches out carfully they are not all the same some have thinner wall tubing and are not jigged squarly, i had a cheap hitch and it caused the trailer to pull funny i took it back they said i had bent it by turning to sharply, My new ford i got the towing pkg but beware of cheap hitches.go with a name brand less head aches.

I have used Putnam hitches on several of my trucks with never a problem. I would reccomend ordering a vehicle-specific hitch rather than a universal one. This eliminates the use of shims, spacers, and often eliminates drilling new holes in your frame. I have seen Putnams for as low as $99. I think it was in the Northern (tools and hydraulics) catalog.

It indicates on the site fits 1967-1999 yet it's not a universal.
Make sure you don't have to relocate the spare like you would with a universal.

 

54, there's a trailer place in Winston-Salem that carries an ad in the Trading Post paper. They carry the Hidden Hitch brand. I've put one on my Suburban and my F-150 w/o nary a problem! Doc
