Yay Me!

Just got off the phone with the car lot. Agreed to a price on a 2002 XLT Supercab 4 door with 4.0 2WD, picking it up on Saturday.

I need a hitch for it, where is the best place to get those?

Also, where is a reliable place to get the tow ratings? I did not see an owners manual in the glove box on my test drive!

Congratulations.

Try u-haul for a hitch.
You should be able to download your manual from ford.com. Create an account on myford.com, register your VIN, then browse to locate the manuals.

Just came across these specs in another thread and thought you could use.

also check etrailer.com for the hitch, this particular one is very easy to install. I put mine on in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot while bs'ing with some friends one night.

Thanks for the info, exactly what I needed. I was surprised at the tow rating, I have a 5500# camper, and now I have a second option for short trips.
