So I found some hitches from the net using various website's make/model guides like uhaul and thehitchstore.com for around $150 (class III not that i would know a I from a II or III) which seems fine and all but there are many on craiglist for around $50 - 80 in Nashville. Problem is that I have no idea which will fit my bronco. I've looked for specifications on the websites where these are sold and they just say things like "custom fit" guaranteed to bolt on no drilling" or something along those lines. No real measuerments. Yet, there are people on craigslist who are selling hitches with measurements. I saw one guy give a measurement from center bolt ?

I got a uhaul on mine. Towed a 6k lbs trailer with no issues.

What made it nice, was I have a lifetime warranty on my hitch. For any reason it rusts or is damaged by me or an accident (someone rearends me) they will replace it free of charge.

For the extra $60 it's peice of mind that no matter what, I will have a hitch for the rest of the life of the Bronco..which it's been in my family for 20yrs, and I plan to keep it for at least the same amount of time!

thank for the links.

Reese's won't give any search results for an 88 full size and valleyindustries website doesn't work.

Any other ideas on where I can find measurements to cross-reference?

go to a parts store and just ask for one, or if you find an aftermarket parts supplier they will be able to get them, it seems that reese search is being stupid, they don't even list one for my f150. but whatever, I know I bought a class 3 for my 81 bronco, I had to drill out the bolt holes so it would fit, the class ratings are how heavy duty it is and how much weight it is designed to handle.

class 1 mostly found on cars receiver for the thin plate style trailer hitches,

class 2 mostly found on cars and small suv's 1" square reciever

class 3 found on large suv's trucks, and vans, 2" square reciever

havn't seen a class 4 in person, so I can't describe it.
