I just ordered a Curt hitch for $118 shipped. Now I'm getting some of these (going through Panda which I hope is reliable - they are on the forum) to have ready for the bronco. I'm trying to decide on the wide or narrow ones, I have a Big Bend coming, regular width tires will be on it always. My wife is short also!
I know this is an off-road capable truck. But every decision doesn't have to default to how it will work in the most extreme conditions. Some seem to give that negativity a lot: "I'm buying the 2.3!" - won't work as good off road....."I'm getting a manual!" - won't work as good....."getting Air Conditioner!" - won't....
It gets tiresome.
I will need to slide my bronco on it's door sills/rails exactly zero times in my years of ownership. How do I know? I've been driving off road in the southwest in quite rough country for 30 years now. And never touched the door sills on any of my 4-5 trucks and 4runner in that time. But I DO know I'll be getting in and out of the truck many times each day. Figure a ratio of 57900:1 for getting in:rock sliding.
