You have a link to that draw-tite? What's it rated to pull? Any chance you are planning on installing it in the near future, then further planning on taking some pictures to post here?
Sure, https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07WSYKMPJ/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new. I bought the last one they had in stock a few weeks ago, and it looks like they haven't gotten any in yet. But it's like 50c cheaper now
. Being Amazon, I wouldn't trust that price to stick once they do get them in. The Draw-Tite claims to be rated to the Ranger's capacity, unlike the Curt at 6k#. Higher in tongue weight as well, though off-hand I'm not sure what the factory unit is capable of.
Awesome, thanks! The Curt was the only one that had come up when I searched Amazon before. I doubt I'll ever tow anything over 6k pounds, but it seems wrong to put a hitch on that is rated lower than the truck, plus I don't want to end up in a situation where I go to tow a 7490# trailer and forget that I only got a hitch rated at 6k pounds.Sure, https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07WSYKMPJ/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new.

I took one lazy crack at installing it but the bolts didn't want to break with my wimpy tools. It encouraged me to finally buy a real 1/2" breaker bar (if you can call HF tools real anyway) instead of finding a piece of pipe, but haven't bothered to get back out since. It is "winter" after all. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Draw-Tite/76275.html has pics (and a crazy high price right now).
Me either
Haha, I'll be sure to use those cheap HF impact sockets on it. I found yet another guy who wants to be famous on youtube who spends crazy money on serious equipment, then measures torque-ability of various tools. He did one with 4 bars, one Snap-on, a Mac, another one I can't recall, then the $20 HF bar I bought for $15 with coupon. It held up in his one-off test of almost 300 #ft. Even remained straight and everything.
Thanks Brett. I like the white because I could change them to Amber if it was unlawful. I bought a roll of Amber Gel just in case I didn't like the white. After seeing both Amber and why I prefer the white. Maybe because I have a chrome grill it might reflect better . I really don't know but it was money well spent.
This should be a Rubber seal that goes across the back. Over the tailgate. Here's what mine looks like. In order to make that seal work you have to close the tailgate before pushing the back cover down. Otherwise, the tailgate pushes the Rubber seal into the truckQuestion about the bed cover, does this look about right? I mean the back of the cover doesn’t overlap the tailgate very much...
None at all.
I can't quite tell from the pics ... how are your cover drain hoses connected?Stage3Motors bedrug deal. 399 including shipping and tax.
What do you mean how are they connected? The simply slide in on top. Drilled holes through rub on the bottom. Added some hose clamps to the top for reinforcement. Hope that helped
thanks. Couldn't tell if they were just laying in the rug or if they went through it.
Oh ok. Yeah they are clamped at the top. Holes cut through rugs and run through the ports at the front of the truck bed. Could have gone behind the rugs but wanted Rug flush the frame. Can always pop hoses off quickly if needed.
