I have been wanting to install a hitch to my 99 Explorer v6 4wd.
I want to be able to carry portable cargo carrier if needed on trips, and a bike rack. I don't foresee the need to tow anything.
At the local u-haul they offer a class II 1.25" hitch, or a class III 2" hitch.
Am I better off buying the class III 2" hitch? Are there more accessories available for the 2" hitch compared to the 1.25" hitch?
U-Haul stated even if I got the class III 2" hitch, they would not be able to rent trailers to me. I'm guessing due to our Explorer's infamous Firestone debacle and tendency to roll over from that...
Any advice or tips on which one I should get?
