That's what I thought but it was still pulling.

Pretty sure it'll disengage the trans, it's not going to climb past 110

Unless you're running a tune or you've removed the limit in Forscan or something

Did you tow that float? If so, what do you estimate the weight of the trailer and occupants to be?

Well.......lol the trailer has a huge bbq pit on it, cast iron, the ranger towed it, nicely leveled, uh. So about 5500 lbs? Give or take?? Plus 4 adults inside the ranger, .....

This is the what did you do WITH your Ranger thread not the what did you do behind its back thread……?????

Got to admit I spent an hour looking at 2 Door Broncos online today. Not practical at all, but reminds me of my 75 Bronco.

... and what about your mpg? =p

Looks like great fun and that's got to be one of the most unique things ever towed by a Ranger, a FFR! =D

Camping. First trip with the Ford aftermarket Trailer Brake Control. Vehicle pulled fantastic! Had a 2016 Ram previously, I didn't feel like this was worse at pulling. Only thing the Ram had longer and wider wheelbase so slightly more stable on the highway. Also, the Ram being full size and wider, the mirrors could see more. Only real disadvantages here.

I would not be interested in a Bronco but they are freaking cool. If I stay with ford probably will go back to an F150 these Rangers are just lacking esp coming from an F150. I found some ones I like and price don't matter because I can get any ford plan pretty easy. I would just pay cash for the difference and this ranger is paid for. loans just get in the way. LOL

I did find a used F150 Tremor I like might jump on it...

Nice set-up...
If you plan on towing/camping a lot, look at the ClearView Mirrors (web site ClearView).
They are Australian in design and "pull out" like mirrors on full size trucks with tow packages.
Several of us have them and aside from the initial price, their the best way to go. Can't say enough good things about them....easily one of the best "mods" if you tow a full size (8 foot wide) camper.
Their available for the different Rangers/packages....plug-n-play.

Don't listen to these guys, you'll go broke.

Nothing wrong with a stick and some duck tape.

Or show off your woodworking skills.

Decided to swap out the original grill for this one with the red in it. I think it looks better with the red. Had to wire on the Ford blue oval though, lol.
