CURT parts for the 2004 Ford Ranger

Your 2004 Ford Ranger has two CURT hitches to choose from, and the right one comes down to what you're pulling and what you'll hang off the receiver. CURT 13019 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, $282.12 CAD.

CURT 13138 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, $276.89 CAD. Both ship free anywhere in Canada.

There's a front receiver too. CURT 31063 mounts behind the front bumper of the 2004 Ford Ranger, rated to 3,500 lb with 350 lb tongue weight, $394.02 CAD.

A hitch is the receiver only. If you're pulling a trailer you'll need a wiring harness for the brake and turn signals, and the wiring guide walks you through four-flat and seven-way.

What you need to tow with a 2004 Ford Ranger

A bike rack only needs the hitch. A trailer needs all three, and every piece ships free anywhere in Canada.

  1. CURT 13019 hitch, $282.12 CAD. The receiver that bolts to the Ranger.
  2. Wiring harness. Needed for any trailer with lights; pick four-flat or seven-way in the wiring guide.
  3. CURT 45836 ball mount, $41.70 CAD. Ball mount with the ball already on it, ready to hook a trailer. Bigger coupler? CURT 45041 carries a 2-5/16-inch ball, $62.42 CAD.

2004 Ford Ranger hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2004 Ford Ranger?

CURT 13019 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 4,000 lb) and CURT 13138 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 4,000 lb) both fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.

How much can a 2004 Ford Ranger tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, or 6,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Ranger has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Does the hitch come with trailer wiring?

No. The hitch is the receiver and hardware. For a bike rack you don't need wiring at all; for a trailer you need a harness, and the wiring guide covers four-flat and seven-way.
