Sure, https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07WSYKMPJ/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new. I bought the last one they had in stock a few weeks ago, and it looks like they haven't gotten any in yet. But it's like 50c cheaper now :). Being Amazon, I wouldn't trust that price to stick once they do get them in. The Draw-Tite claims to be rated to the Ranger's capacity, unlike the Curt at 6k#. Higher in tongue weight as well, though off-hand I'm not sure what the factory unit is capable of.

I took one lazy crack at installing it but the bolts didn't want to break with my wimpy tools. It encouraged me to finally buy a real 1/2" breaker bar (if you can call HF tools real anyway) instead of finding a piece of pipe, but haven't bothered to get back out since. It is "winter" after all. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Draw-Tite/76275.html has pics (and a crazy high price right now).
The wife has declared that I won't be buying accessories that I don't have any immediate use for at least until the truck is paid off. I tried to point out that she's being unreasonable, but didn't get very far with that since she is, in fact, being perfectly reasonable.

Oh well, that's why Amazon has a wish list function.

Hi Phil,

Glad your eye surgery was a success. I've had readers for years now but just 2 years ago I got the ones that are for computers which filter out the blue light and they make a world of difference. They relieve the eye stain when you're on the computer,phone or tablet for long periods of time. You might want to check them out here on Amazon when you have time. Keep those new eyes crisp and clear. :like:
Have you tried Windows night light feature, or something like f.lux?

Good choice not putting too much energy into defending the indefensible :). Then again, what happens if you have a sudden unavoidable need to tow?

Yeah, not sure how that happened. I posted this originally on June 28 2019 as part of a larger thread. What’s going on???

I had the same reservations but my daughter said it sounds like a rollercoasters air brakes and that changed my mentality completely,

Oh I put quite a bit of energy into defending it, as it takes more energy to defend something when it really is indefensible. Most of my defense was pretty much what you said: "What happens if I have a sudden unavoidable need to tow something?"

And she kept coming back with, "Like what?"

I tried to say a boat, but that just led to me learning that there's another thing I won't be buying in the very near future.

Hahaha. Well won't she feel silly if you have to spend double or more because she needs something towed immediately.
