Default Re: hitch

Why would you want to build one, when hitches for Ford Rangers are inexpensive and plentiful?

I may be wrong but I doubt you could build one, have it powder coated and buy the correct fasteners for much less than you can just buy a bolt on kit.

Just one example.

I wouldn't even buy a new one. Go to a junk yard and grab one. It's not like wear and tare on a hitch is an issue. If you like, a can of spray paint can have it looking like new.
