Going on a road trip to family's place up in new york - i got the tow package on my ex: but never towed anything before.
I fiddled around with the tow mount? on the rear of the explorer yesterday. i took off the protective cover - and saw the Square Hitch? or receiver? not sure what its called.
I have an old trailer in the barn up there with a Ball type mount. (it fits onto the ball and screws down) but i have no idea what size it is.
I need to get that trailer onto the explorer.... for some light towing up there. (move some wood n stones)
What do i need... did the explorer not come with one of those towing balls? or the metal mount that plugs into the square? Where do you get a towing ball that would fit into the square hole on my explorer.
can anyone who has done this please explain exactly what ill need. I realize ill probably have to buy a few diff size "balls" as i have no idea what size the trailer up there is.
So im guessing i need a ball bracket? that fits into the square... and a ball?
i dont need it wired as im never leaving our property with it. thanks for the help, i feel so clueless.
