I wasn't going to put anything on my bed, but then I saw these mats at Costco for $14.99 each, and two of them laid side by side are the perfect length for the bed on the Supercrew. Rubber on one side and polyester on the other. Cut about an inch off both sides of the front one (on the long...
My guess is that the extra box gets a signal from both the Autonomous Emergency Braking and the brake pedal input, and sends which ever one it receives to the brake controller, whereas an aftermarket unit will only get the trailer activation signal from physically pressing the brake pedal.

10/24/2019, seam sealer on all doors. XLT Supercrew.
Looking at the engine today and noticed it was built only 1 week before my Ranger was completed!
Also notice it's a Cleveland engine, last time I remember having one of those was on my Torino with the 351 Cleveland, hope this one is just as good!
I like the Ram. If it wasn't bigger than what I wanted then I would have one instead of the Ranger I got. But it is almost a foot and a half longer and wouldn't fit nice in my garage.
I installed my already owned Tekonsha Prodigy P2 today. I obtained another mounting pocket just like the ones in my other two tow vehicles so I can easily switch the P2 to whichever vehicle I'm currently using.
Hardest part was trying to attach connectors to the Ranger XLT brake control wiring...
I had planned to put mine there too, but I noticed my knee would be hitting it every time I got in due to my long legs.
I like the smallness of the Redarc, and I also like the Insight that Floyd has, but since I already have a Tekonsha I decided to install that for now and I can switch it back...
I used those Yakima landing pads on my Dodge Dakota many years ago with the supplied blind fasteners and have carried canoes, kayaks, bikes, up there with no problems at all. The sealant they give you seems to work really well.
On my Durango, I went with roof rails and used Plusnuts to attach...
Got our Ranger during the Black Friday sales event, couldn't resist the rebates and discount. Would have liked to use it to tow our camper from GA to San Antonio, TX this Christmas, but I still have 800 miles to go before I get past the 1,000 mile mark for towing.
We live just SW of Atlanta in...
We're actually in the far North corner of Coweta County, closer to Tyrone. We do most of our shopping in Peachtree City.
Can you tell I like silver trucks? :-) My Dakota used to be bigger than Rangers of that era (2004)
Happy to report that my Oct 2019 built XLT with tow package has the four wires (including a blue one) on the left kick panel, behind the blue tape. I'll be hooking up my Tekonsha Prodigy somewhere (same one I use on the other two tow vehicles)
I agree, two years for the 2019 models. This is from the FordPass website.

Hello from GA!
Been trying to decide what pickup truck to get for hauling our 3500# GVWR Scamp camping trailer.
Had a spreadsheet laid out, read lots of reviews, test drove a few, but kept coming back to the Ranger, and then the rebates they provided this week clinched the decision.
Picked...
I had surge brakes on the "Caravan" we owned in England, first time I ever used them. You do not need any 12 volt power from the tow vehicle to activate the brakes, so a 4 pin with just the ground, left turn, right turn, and park lights would suffice.
First time I bought the camper home I parked...
We'll be towing our 16' Scamp fiberglass camper with our Ranger. Loaded weights run between 2500-3000 lbs with a GVWR of 3500 lbs. Hoping the Ranger tows it well, since it has more power and torque than the 4.7 V-8 Dodge Dakota we have. (Dakota shown in the picture, just picked up our Ranger...
