Hi,
I am of the opinion that a decent WDH,Weight distribution hitch is well worth the outlay.It can help the towed vehicle track and tow better according to pretty much everyone I have talked to.
I flat tow a Suzuki Grand Vitara behind my RV and use a WDH.I have a camera set on the Suzuki and it tows straight and true.
I would reccomend anyone to go that way.

Robkim I have sent you a PM Ford do not recommend a WDH for the PX ranger and the ford towbar is not big enough to accept a H/R tongue. not sure about not needing a WDH as we have not towed the van yet Ken

H M WDH will fit the ranger tow bar if you cut a small piece of the leading edge of the hitch you can then engage the last hole ,100s of them done like that
