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.

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

when I looked at the ranger they told me it only had a 2.5 tow rating thats why I bought the landcruiser 3.5tonne

The new ranger has a tow rating of 3.35t for the 3.2lt manual and auto
The 2.2lt diesel 4x2has a 2.5t tow

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

Things have probably changed a bit in the last 3.5 years Old Bob
