Not sure if the bolt pattern is correct. Tractor Supply

Yes! Exactly like that if it fits the bolt pattern. Do you have a link for that product?

Anyone know of such a thing? I don't want to use the trailer hitch step and have stick it out further to bash my knee on it.

Thanks for all the input. Nope, I don't have a lot of experience towing, that's why I'm getting input from more experienced people before trying something that's not a good idea.

So I'm wondering, would a turbo and upgraded brakes get me to "safely towing 5K lbs"?

What makes this weight unsafe for 96 F1Z-FE? Is it the strength of the frame? Is the lack of power of the motor? Is it the limitation of the suspension? Ability of the brake system? The FSM says not to?

I've had a drawer system / sleeping platform for 10 years plus. I too do a lot of fishing. Mine is carpeted birch wood, so it's really heavy and robust. A large plastic bin can solve the problem of the wet waders. Yes, it's more cost and extra...
