[AT] Trailer hitch ball mount

[Cecil Bearden]

Just my $0.02,  Unless that is a long wheelbase Navigator, I would not 
pull a very heavy trailer with it.  Tail wags the dog, so to speak.  I 
have a 97 expedition, Nearly the same frame.  With the rack and pinion 
steering and short wheelbase, it is not a towing vehicle....
