Aerostar hitch.

[Meber77]

Trying to decide if I should have my old rusty class II hitch sandblasted and repainted and install on my new to me 1993 aerostar or if I should find a new hitch class III that may or may not work with the full size spare which I intend on putting under the new van not a little donut. Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the fifth aerostar I’ve owned in the last 25 years. 1990-338K, 1992-112K, 1997-261K, 1995-209K, 1993-114K. The mechanic that looked at the last one I just purchased said it was like going back in time. No rust, interior looks mint and still has the factory headphones sealed in the packaging.

I'd go with the class 3, it may cost more to refinish the class 2.

Go with class 3 and use the donut. That's what I did.
