Review: This thing is an engineering marvel, but not for the faint of heart (Ford Focus install) - I needed a Class 3 (2" hitch) for a Ford Focus in order to put a rear rack on, but you can't buy a Class 3 hitch for Ford Focus, so this was my only option. It took 1 1/2 days to install and it pushed the limits of my skill and my luck but it worked. There are three main challenges. The first is positioning it under your car so that the two longitudinal brackets are positioned directly underneath the two square beams that frame your car. This is not easy because its quite heavy, will take several jacks and hammering to slide it in place correctly, and you have to get it out of the way of any attachments of obstrusions, in my case the tailpipe. The second challenge is drilling holes in the support beams, that wasn't too bad but you will need 1/2 inch bit and maybe smaller ones to get started. The third challenge is threading the bolts and support plates through the end of the beam and into it so they stick out and you can attach the hitch (the bolt locks to the plate with a square hole so it won't rotate when you tighten it). This was much easier than I thought and was very pleasantly surprised because when I got the kit and saw the difficulty I was almost ready to throw in the towel. There is a provided wire that you can thread the bolt in, then you take another wire and push it through the hole in the beam and out the end, attach it to the provided wire and the bolt, and pull it back in through the hole, hoping that it will get through correctly with the bolt seated in the plate (this always works, to my surprise) . You will have to do this at least 4 times, and in my case I also manufactured a piece to attach the rear bar to the car vertically, which is how the commercial Class 1 hitches work for a Ford Focus (do your research on commercial hitches that fit your car so you know how it should work first). The instructions are good if your car is one of the supported ones, but as I say the Ford Focus is not, so I had to figure all this out. Miraculously it worked, and I now have a 500 lb rear cargo rack on my Ford Focus which doubles my cargo space and which all cost me $200 ($150 for the hitch and $50 for the rack). Eureka! Adding the electrical (in case you want to tow as opposed to adding a rack) isn't too hard either, check Uline. Review: Watch tolerances, otherwise grand - It installed just great on my skoolie. One problem I ran into is the tolerances for the bolts and nuts is off quite a bit, and as a result many of the nuts couldn't go on the bolts, even with an impact driver/drill. I had to take a lot of time trying to match bolts to nuts, and in the end I couldn't use the carriage bolts on one side because the nuts just didn't fit. The kit only comes with 2 different sized nuts, 1/2" and 3/8", so it wouldn't have been hard to fit them on. I'm not sure if it's the nuts themselves that are off, or if the bolts are off, I'll have to test the nuts on other bolts that I get from lowes and see how they fit. Beyond that, it was EXCELLENT. Once you understand that there is a "fishing wire" that helps you to get the bolts into the frame of the hitch, and that on each side they offset the holes so that the bolts don't get in each other's way, it was easy to do alone. I did use a jack to hold the hitch up so I could drill the holes in the frame in the correct spot, but that's more a strategy to know I did it right, which this is a skoolie, so of course I will have to do manual work, and that is not a flaw with the hitch itself. It came with more then enough hardware to mount it to whatever vehicle you had. The instructions weren't the clearest, but it was enough that you could figure it out. If I had something more difficult than a skoolie, I think the instructions would be much harder to understand. I did find it kinda silly how they packaged this from desertcart. They had used a big box, about 1.5 feet longer than the hitch box and about 4 inches too wide, and with no padding, to deliver it. Not really a big problem, but is annoying as I had to carry this in a wagon, and had I known the outer box was that big in comparison I would have opened it and saved myself some trouble. ## Features - VEHICLE APPLICATION: 1990-2005 GMC Safari, 1996-2014 GMC Savana 1500, 1991-2004 GMC Sonoma, 1992-1999 GMC Suburban, 1992-2006 GMC Yukon, 1999-2002 GMC Yukon Denali, 2000-2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500, 2001-2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Denali, 1998-2000 Isuzu Hombre, 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty, 1990-1993 Mazda B2200, 1994-1997 Mazda B2300, 1998-2009 Mazda B4000, 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, 1988-1997 Nissan Pickup, 1984-2000 Plymouth Voyager. - VEHICLE APPLICATION: 1992-1994 Chevrolet Blazer, 1996-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500, 1983-2004 Chevrolet S10, 1992-2006 Chevrolet Suburban, 1995-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1990-1995 Chrysler Town & Country, 1984-1995 Dodge Caravan, 1987-2001 Dodge Dakota, 1982-1993 Dodge Ramcharger, 1986-1997 Ford Aerostar, 1982-1996 Ford Bronco, 1984-1990 Ford Bronco II, 1983-2004 Ford Ranger, 1983-1990 GMC S15 - CUSTOM DESIGNS: REESE Class 3 trailer hitches are custom built according to manufacturer specifications to ensure a perfect fit. - STRENGTH: Made of solid, all-welded steel for maximum strength and safety, each hitch is put through rigorous fatigue and stress testing to withstand road abuse (within specified capacities).

I need 72" between bolt centers. Please advise** A: If that is the case, do NOT get a universal unit like this. The further it is spread, the more it will flex. Even on my minivan, I wasn't happy with the amount of flex until I put an extra bolt through the "crossbar"(the solid portion in the middle) for a smidge more stiffness. **Q: what is the maximum width it will fit, i want to install it on my travel trailer for a bike rack?** A: The last one of these I bought, I installed it on my 5th wheel travel trailer and used it to tow a 5x8' utility trailer with my Harley on it from Amarillo TX to the Virginia state line at Bristol, TN at which point I had to get someone to meet me and take my motorcycle the rest of the way into Virginia because you can't legally tow tandem trailers in Virginia. It worked perfectly, which is why I'm back here considering purchasing it again for my new trailer. This time it will just be for cargo management and/ or maybe some camping accouterments if I decide to make something with a hitch mount (dog tie out, grill mount, antenna tower, whatever. **Q: will this hitch fit a 2000 ford ranger** A: To all of you asking "does this hitch fit my...." If you can post a question to Amazon, I would think you can use Google to answer the question. But evidently not, so I did it for you. Here's e-trailer's "fit guide" for this hitch. http://www.etrailer.com/question-67579.htmlNote that just because it's listed doesn't mean you won't have to drill some holes. If you want an EZ fit hitch that is completely bolt on, you need to buy the one that is listed specifically for your vehicle, not a "universal" hitch like this one. **Q: Does this come with the mounting bolts** A: NO NO NO And you can't get it from the manufacturer ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This thing is an engineering marvel, but not for the faint of heart (Ford Focus install) *by M***U on August 21, 2022* I needed a Class 3 (2" hitch) for a Ford Focus in order to put a rear rack on, but you can't buy a Class 3 hitch for Ford Focus, so this was my only option.

Now if you have anything else that your factory bumper might be slightly a problems, Some bolts have a specific place they have to go. Just a tip, don't try to press it in. Pretty hard to explain but just screw it in. That's not the downside tho, it's because if you take of rear bumper or delete it it won't fit. The thing that holds spare tire has a bolt that doesn't come off with common hand tools. Rivets or rivets. Idk what it's called, but you know what I mean. That's what has to come off to make it fit. That's not all there four screws that are insanely hard. (DONT USE THE METAL WIRE THEY SEND YOU FOR PUTTING THE SCREWS. THE RISK OF YOU GETTING REALLY HURT IS HIGH SP JUST FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION. TRUST ME. YOULL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU GET THE ITEMS.) The four screws in the back that doesn't let it slide left to right. Great product tho, would review 5 Star if it was easy to install. Package came in great shape just some dents on carbord, probably due to shipping. ## Frequently Bought Together - Reese Towpower 37042 Class 3 Multi-Fit Trailer Hitch, 2 Inch Square Receiver, Compatible with Selected Models (Please Verify VEHICLE APPLICATON) - Reese 21536 Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Starter Kit, Fits 2 Inch Square Receiver, 2 Inch Drop, 6,000 lbs.
