2010 Sport Trac Towing

[Tim Poteet]

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the cross member in the 2010 trac between the class ii and class iii hitch. Would it be safe to weld the 2" receiver where the old 11/4" receiver is. I have looked high and low for a class iii hitch for a 2010 trac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks

There is absolutely no difference other than the receiver tube and the class III has another tube for the wiring to go through. I changed mine. Wish I would have just done the receiver tube. I have pictures of the change over.

Can you post the pictures? This has been wearing me out for 3 months.





Thanks

Ok, I uploaded them to a new folder in my library. These are pictures of when I changed mine from II to III with the factory replacement part.

Thanks for the pictures, that looks like a very tough job. My camper is only 3200 lbs dry and with a weight distributing hitch, I think I will be fine with just putting in the 2" tube.



Thanks Tim
