Introduction: I talk about the hitch, the instructions and the tools I used and needed.

25:30 A thread problem with the nuts and bolts
46:00 Final Thoughts

In this video I install a Reese trailer hitch onto my 2014 Ford Explorer. 
After discussing the setup and tools I get to work. Some of the tools I used: 
A Hazet extendable ratchet, a Craftsman butterfly selector ratchet (both half inch drive), Stahwille combination wrench, Stahwille 5 inch extension, vintage Snap on sockets, Snap on speeder wrench, Snap on universal joint and an old tap & die set among other things. 

The video shows some of my struggles and I am not telling anyone what to do. This is simply what I encountered and how I handled it. 
I ended up having some problems with some of the supplied nuts and bolts but I was able to fix them. I take my time and keep moving forward. 

I hope this gives a more realistic idea of this job and what it might look like, especially if you do not have a lift for your vehicle.

I hope this helps.
