Definitely get a quality receiver installed, period.

And make sure you truck and trailer brakes, hitch drawbar, and ball are ALL up to the task.

I towed my 24 Pantera with my Sport Trac for a short time, but here's what I would recommend:

- Receiver hitch
- Air Lift rear leveling air bags
- Good brakes on the trailer
