I have a 2001 4x2 Ranger, 3.0, 5 speed, XLT, extended cab. 83,000 miles in tip top condition and well maintained. I am considering pulling a motorcycle trailer (with 800 pound motorcycle) about 1500 miles. I currently have the stock bumper hitch with standard flat 4 pole connector. (Hole in bumper for 2" trailer ball). The bumper appears to be solidly mounted to steel frame members. I don't see any rating on the bumper or anywhere else on the truck, and I don't have the owner's manual. Total weight I'm guessing is about 1200 pounds, with properly distributed tongue weight, of course. Am I good to go with such a set up? Thanks.
