What hitch are you using? How much did you drop it? 2-3" for level towing?
Not sure on the exact hitch but I believe it is a Reese branded hitch. It is in the drop position and on the first hole if I remember correctly. I didn't have any weight distribution bars on so the camper was pointing nose down a bit. I will get better pictures of the hitch setup this weekend.

Made a few trips hauling 2 kayaks to the Gulf versus one in the bed this past weekend. Didn't use trailer tow mode. Hardly tell it's behind you. Sure gets dusty going down skinny dirt roads for 5-10 miles to a launch point. Need the occasional rain to dampen down the dust...lol!

Towed this today after finally getting the new harness and 7pin I stalled.

Really impressed compared to my 2011 F150 5.0.

Looks good. What is the length and approximate weight of your trailer?

It is a Aerolite 2133 21’ and dry advertised as 5500. Figure 6500 as it sits.

Thanks
I am planning on towing a 7X16 cargo trailer. Aprox weight will be 5500 to 6000 pounds. So, a little shorter than yours, same weight.

One more question. Do you have tow mirrors that fit the ranger? Do you need tow mirrors?

I can see well with the stock mirrors. Plan on getting a rear view camper mirror soon.

I have a pair of universal mirrors from my last tow rig, They can't hurt, but I can say I didn't have too much trouble with my trailer which is 8'6" wide I believe.

Beautiful but that thing starts at $48,900! :puke:

My wife will only let me make a 5-digit purchase that starts with a 4 every 15 years or so :crackup:

For that price, they should include a Ford Ranger.
