Long shot question

Sep 02, 2006 3 Replies

I'm looking at a trailer hitch that came off a 1996 Ford Ranger to fit my 1993 Ford Explorer. Any chance that it'll fit? I know it's the same chasis (is it?) but for different model years? Hitch is a TSC V5 Shelton. Thanks!


Looks like they're different, based on Drawtite part numbers. I don't know what the difference is. You might check them out locally; I bought mine from UHaul, but there are a lot of retailers that stock them. The differences may be minor; maybe only differences in hole locations?

If the width on the mounting points is the same and only the holes are different, I would drill the hitch to fit.
