Yes, the step bumper is already rated as a Class II hitch capable of 3000 lbs pull. Just add a ball.

What about connecting it to the SUV's lighting system !?!?
Many thanks
Behind the driver's side taillight you will find a connector harness. Go to Wal-Mart and buy the trailer lighting kit from Hopkins that matches your model for about $15-20 and that will insert there and give you the plug to attach to the trailer on Explorers that came with "tow prep" (virtually all of them, I think). The Explorer is already equipped with the coversion to combine the separate amber turn signals and the brake light that the trailer needs.

This has to do with their lawyers and the Explorer/Firestone tire issue. Search back in this forum and you will long discussions on this stupid policy.
Go to your local Ford Dealership, service counter and have them order you a "pigtail" for connecting a trailer plug. I went all over trying to find anyone to install a hitch and wiring, with no luck. Which actually saved me a lot of $$$. Did the wiring myself in 10 minutes and installed the reese hitch in 30 mins.
