Talking about trailer hitches..
I'm going to ust the step bumper on my leased ranger truck to tow my
sailboat. I measured it's height above ground at about 22 inches.
My Voyager minivan hitch is at the 12 inch height but my drawbar raises
that to 15 inches.
A local auto supply store has the flat bar type of drawbar on sale. It's
actually bent to either raise or lower the ball by 4 inches.Does anyone know if this type bar in installed on top of the step.. or
below? The hole in the step is about 13/16" in diam so I guess I'll
need a 3/4" bolt/nut combo for fastening. |

| Don, I don't know the answer to your question as I don't have a bumper
hitch. However .... have you checked to see what that factory hole in the
bumper hitch provision is rated to tow? It isn't much. RCE |

| What's the bumper rated to tow? Also, what is the truck rated to tow? Step
bumpers are usually rated low, like 200 lbs tongue wt and 2000 lb total
weight. A step bumper is usually designed for a directly mounted hitch ball,
not a drawbar. You may need a bolt-on hitch frame to tow your saiboat
properly. It won't screw up the truck, and the holes in the frame will be
invisible once the hitch frame is removed. "Don White" <whited@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote in message |
