[QUOTE="parker_lansing, post: 1052317, member: 78464"] Thanks for confirming that. I poked through the manual, and found that it is called the "rear bumper hitch plate." I tracked down the part number: Ford 1L5Z-17D826-AA Kit - Stabilizer - Trailer Hitch 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Criminy. $400 - $500. This just turned into a $1,000 problem, but there is no way I'm letting this go. I can't imagine why someone would have removed something like that. My current theories are: - they overloaded it, and it bent the bar / cracked the plastic - the previous owner backed into something that damaged the bar - they removed it because it was in the way of the towing package Does this look like a stock towing package, or is this aftermarket?
