You will need to pull off the transmission line off the radiator and install fittings in order to install a cooler.Р”Р„fter about one salted winters worth of driving around, most of the hitch paint is still intact. Most Expeditions without a factory hitch will not have a transmission cooler. If you're buying this hitch and intend on towing a lot of weight, be sure you have a transmission cooler. This hitch is a little more tucked in, half hidden behind the rear bumper with the receiver hole exposed and protruding. It even has a plate welded on so you can install an easy to access trailer connector.Р”Р„s for looks, OEM expeditions hitches have the square frame clearly visible going across the back. This bolts up pretty simply, 4 heavy duty bolts, washers, and nuts on each side and its in. The heaviest thing I ever towed was a car on a dual axle trailer (5100lbs) and I didn't have any problems, drove very smoothly minus the lack of acceleration. To be on the safe side, you shouldn't exceed those even if the hitch can handle more. This hitch is rated for 6000lbs WC and 10,000 WD but my owners manual says I can only tow up to 5000 lbs weight carrying and up to about 8000 with weight distributing. I needed to tow more than 4000lbs (max limit on bumper hitch) so I researched around and found this nice hitch. I recently bought a used 97 Expedition and it didn't have a hitch on it. ( More customer reviews)This hitch is for a 97-02 Expedition or 98-02 Navigator.
