  1. Ranger Camper Limitation

    I suspect (and hope) it's what dmeyer suggested, that Ford simply hasn't had time to focus on campers. It shouldn't be a payload issue as long as one stays well under the maximum. Our Ranger's door sticker payload rating is 1,550 lbs, which is 400 lbs more than a similarly-equipped Tacoma. I...
  2. Ranger Camper Limitation

    No one seems to have noted that Ford is discouraging putting slide-in campers in the new Ranger. Buried in a single line on page 13 of the huge Ranger Owner's manual: Using a Slide-In Camper We do not recommend using your pickup for carrying a slide-in camper Nowhere in any of Ford's...
  3. Backup Camera’s Dynamic Hitch Assist Mode?

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone looked into getting a replacement OEM rear camera yet? I ask because I'll be installing a slide-in pop-up camper soon and that means removing the tailgate, and thus will be losing the tailgate's backup camera. Most folks in this situation with Tacomas and...
  4. 1st SuperCab in the House!

    We picked ours up last week. Silver XL 4x4 with FX4 package, towing package, bed liner. We'll be adding NERF bars/steps and air bags/cradles as soon as they become available in the aftermarket. Next week we're replacing the factory Hankook Dynapro ATM tires with higher-rated Falken Wildpeaks...

  7. Hankook to supply original equipment tire to 2019 Ford Ranger

    Well, that’s too bad, since the Dynapro LT version is apparently only a 6-ply rated tire rather than a 10-ply E load rating like the K02s. Not a high enough load rating to handle our camper. Oh well.
  8. INGOT SILVER Ranger Club Thread

    Thanks, yes, I did that. It was pretty cool to look from all angles. But it's even better to see a few shots of a "Real" truck, even one that just comes remotely close to what I've ordered. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but the computer-generated images just aren't quite the same as seeing a...
  9. INGOT SILVER Ranger Club Thread

    Are there any more pix of this truck from another angle (it's exactly what we ordered this week!)
  10. Ranger optional 17" tires?

    I'm also taking some hope from the 2018 F-150 brochure (https://www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=F-150&year=2018&postalCode=04863) that states the Raptor version comes with KO2s (page 22 of the brochure), so at least Ford is already using them on some factory truck orders...
  11. Ranger optional 17" tires?

    I just did the same, also hoping they're the KO2s. My dealer added the "TEW" option onto my order. Looking at Tire Rack's online listings, the only two tires that have that designation ("LT 265/65 R 17 OWL") are the KO2s and Cooper Discoverer A/Ts. I assume that Ford would not do false...
