Max-Frame Receiver Hitch

The REESE Max-Frame Receiver Hitch (Part No. 75299) is a Class III hitch receiver engineered for light-duty towing and recovery operations on 2005–2009 Ford and Mercury vehicles. Built from steel and finished with a black powder coat, this hitch delivers a 4000 lb maximum gross weight capacity and serves as the foundation for secure trailer attachment, cargo recovery, and field equipment deployment on light-duty platforms.

The hitch receiver features a robust steel construction rated for the specified towing capacity, making it suitable for applications ranging from personnel transport trailers to equipment sleds and tactical cargo systems. The black powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance in varied environmental conditions—critical for field gear exposed to moisture, salt spray, or extended outdoor storage. At 17.25 lbs, the hitch strikes a balance between structural integrity and portability, minimizing vehicle load while maintaining the engineering margins required for safe towing operations.

This hitch is suited for operators and teams who require a standardized, dependable towing interface for Ford F-Series trucks and equivalent platforms used in field operations, logistics support, and equipment transport. The Class III receiver is compatible with a broad range of aftermarket ball mounts and accessories, allowing modular configuration for specific mission requirements. Verification of vehicle compatibility and payload calculations against actual towing capacity is essential before deployment in mission-critical scenarios.

The REESE Max-Frame Receiver Hitch represents a field-proven approach to extending platform utility without extensive vehicle modification. Class III hitch receivers occupy a common position in the aftermarket ecosystem, offering proven reliability and parts availability across most operational theaters.
