Back at it!! Getting in some fall camping while the weather holds. Still impressed with how well this truck tows.

I would like to thank the inhabitants of this board for all the help, warnings, insights and useful information as I just finished towing this Sunset Trails 222RB back to Oregon from Boise ID, 355 miles and over 3+ mountain passes of 4k ft elevation after considering the purchase for several...

I get a slight knock between 0-5 mph right when I start the vehicle. It only happens once per drive. Seems to happen regardless of if I'm in drive or reverse, but sounds louder in reverse. I just installed fox 2.0 leveling kit and it seems like it just started. Initially I was concerned I...

I like those tires! What size are those? I'd like to get some for my factory 18 inch wheels.

Just installed Fox 2.0 leveling kit and LOVING the look!

Just got my Redarc ford TBC installed $370 out the door! Pretty happy with the price given what a pain in the @$$ the install looks like.

I feel like a little grommet would work to keep it snug. I'll see what I can find. I did butcher it but not too badly. I took photos of the original hole size in case those knuckleheads give me any grief but yes I figured I'd be very likely voiding any warranty on the thing by drilling it...

OK thanks for the reply - but maybe I was distracting from the issue by even motioning what kind of hitch I want to use. Bottom line, Draw-tite's hitch receiver pin holes weren't drilled in the right place or with any kind of precision. It doesn't seem like ANY type of hitch, ball hitch...

Hey guys, Well, happy Easter. I recently installed the Class III hitch receiver from Draw-Tite. Bolted it in, torqued to spec and all looking good. However, I recently bought a Hensley Arrow Hitch, which uses a 'stinger' hitch attachment to mount to the trailer. Here's the problem...

Please let me know if you find a GOOD detailed install write up / video of the Ford brake controller for a vehicle without tow package. It looks like a rough deal based on what I've seen.

Man... do you live in Bend off Reed Market? Sorry for the stalker comment, but I'm 90% sure I've seen your truck. :crackup:

Hey Lee - thanks for your response, make no mistake - I am here asking for feedback and I appreciate getting everyone's take. I am out in Oregon and my plan is to spend the summer in Idaho, then circle back to the Midwest where I grew up for fall, and head somewhere in the SW for winter 22-23...

I really appreciate the insights, I will probably go for something smaller. I found one with a GVWR 7000 lbs, does that seem more reasonable? I’m looking to add a rear swaybar and possibly the fox shocks if that helps stiffen to prevent sway. I really don’t want to ditch my Ranger...

Thank you - I guess at the heart of my question.... is it a horrible idea (illegal, problem to insurance, ect) to tow something slightly over GVWR if you're actually only towing <7500 lbs loaded?

Wondering if I can pick the brains of some people with more experience with towing than I have. I am interested in taking my life on the road and living in a camper trailer to do travel work. I love my Ranger, but the trailers I am interested in are close to 7500 GVWC and around 5000-6000...

Out in the Oregon desert, messing with 4wd situations

BlueBird day in Central Oregon!

Does anyone know if this system work work? I have the folding Ford OEM tonneau and want to get something that elevates to at least the level of the cab to put a kayak / bikes over the bed. Not sure if this would fit the ranger/work with my tonneau cover. Vantech Elevate

Thank you for asking this... I have the 4-fold Tonneau cover from Ford (came from dealership) and looking for a solution to this. Goals are to have a way to mount kayak/bikes and still have locking capability of tonneau cover for gear. I'm surprised there aren't more options for this! Yakima...

Rolling around Redmond, OR in my 19 Saber XLT... I LOVE this thing. I've had so many Fords over the years but this is my favorite vehicle ever. A PNW meet would be cool! I still don't see many Rangers in Bend/RDM
