HELP! Class III vs Class IV Hitch?
I recently bought a used 1992 F150 Super Cab 4.9L I6.
I don't have anything that I'll need to tow regularly but I'd like to have the option. Currently there is not a hitch installed.
I contacted a local hitch company and they said they'd charge $260 to install a class III hitch. However, I'm wondering if I should get a Class IV instead. I understand that a class IV allows me to tow heavier stuff but honestly I dont know what typical types of things I might need a IV vs a III for. I'm just a newbie looking to learn from the experienced folks. Thanks in advance for your advice.
What are your thoughts / experience? Do you think I might need a class IV?

Without a towing package including a transmission cooler, a Class 3 is more than adequate.
