Ford Explorer 1998 Eddie Bauer Trailer hitch.

Is it possible to add a hitch tho this vehicle !?!?

Many thanks,

Yes, the step bumper is already rated as a Class II hitch capable of 3000
lbs pull. Just add a ball.

Behind the driver's side taillight you will find a connector harness. Go to
Wal-Mart and buy the trailer lighting kit from Hopkins that matches your
model for about $15-20 and that will insert there and give you the plug to
attach to the trailer on Explorers that came with "tow prep" (virtually all
of them, I think). The Explorer is already equipped with the coversion to
combine the separate amber turn signals and the brake light that the trailer
needs.

This has to do with their lawyers and the Explorer/Firestone tire issue.
Search back in this forum and you will long discussions on this stupid
policy.

Go to your local Ford Dealership, service counter and have them order you a
"pigtail" for connecting a trailer plug. I went all over trying to find
anyone to install a hitch and wiring, with no luck. Which actually saved me
a lot of $$$. Did the wiring myself in 10 minutes and installed the reese
hitch in 30 mins.
