I decided to use my Ford Pass Rewards points from buying my Ranger. The hitch came down to about $200. I figured that I would pay that, even though U-Haul, Curt, and E-Trailer aftermarket hitches were cheaper. I wanted to stay OEM…
Got it home and realized that it was going to be a lot more involved than what I thought. Instead of slapping an aftermarket hitch up in about 30 minutes with four bolts, it became a half day long project, which could have been because I dont do it everyday.
You basically take off the whole rear bumper. This includes taking off the rear sensors, registration lights, the 4-pin hook-up. Then, you reattach everything to the new hitch.
Even though there were no Youtube videos or any other forums where someone had went with OEM, everything went well and there were no hick-ups.
All-in-all I like the hitch, but I would recommend going aftermarket.
