  1. Friends F250

    I have a F250 Platinum diesel on order. Upsizing for towing.
  2. What are you guys towing?

    I think you will be OK. No Problemo.
  3. What are you guys towing?

    BTW, it tows this great @ ~3500#'s (trailer and SXS), with a fully loaded heavy truck
  4. What are you guys towing?

    I think you would be uncomfortable towing long distance and at speed, even unloaded. The Ranger WILL tow that weight but will get pushed around with every passing truck and at higher speeds you will be white knuckling the steering wheel. The back end will also jitter a bit, possibly correctable...
  5. What are you guys towing?

    My lease is about up and I'm ready to go larger. If I were to keep it, I might go with a shock change but truly feel a bigger tow vehicle will make me feel safer and happier. The Ranger over 3 years has been great, and I love the features. I've towed my SXS many times, but it comes in around...
  6. What are you guys towing?

    I just purchased a Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE. I've only towed it 20 miles from the dealer to the house but did so during Santa Ana winds. I'm using an Equal-i-zer and its dry weight was ~ 5200 Lbs. Initial impression: The truck has the power to pull but you will feel it. The trailer...
  7. FIX YOUR MUSHY BRAKES

    Thanks. I figured out my issue without changing the OBDII box. I've used the box before and had an older configuration loaded which initially I accepted. In order for all modules to be read I had to NOT load the old config and start a new one. Once I did that it prompted me through a HS to MS...
  8. FIX YOUR MUSHY BRAKES

    Paval, did the new box solve your issue? Mine is the same with limited options.
  9. What are you guys towing?

    Looks good, your better half will have a blast! As an aside I was unfamiliar with the brand/model and looked it up. Zforce is made by CFMOTO. CFMOTO is... CFMoto vehicles are made in China by Zhejiang Chunfeng Power Co., Ltd. (a manufacturing company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province).
  10. Tow observations

    This past week I finally had the opportunity to tow. This has been a fairly long process for me selecting everything new from ball mounting hitch, trailer and towed toy. Towing ~3300 Lbs (trailer and toy). Towing 250 miles US and 250 miles Mexico. Towing in US was through mountains with quite...
  11. 5G Ranger's Hauling Things Thread

    New Honda Talon 4 seat live valve toy followed me home and I didn't have the heart to say go away.
  12. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Bought a trailer for a SxS i hope to get next week.
  13. Tow package issues

    Yes, everything worked perfectly. I had him mount the switch between the shifter and mode selector.
  14. Tow package issues

    I used a mobile mechanic to install the Ford TBC, on my driveway, at a very reasonable price. San Diego (near Qualcomm), not Temecula. I'll leave that here for you as an option. You can send me a DM and I can give you his phone # and name. Also no objection if you wanted to do it on my...
  15. What are you guys towing?

    Looks good! My mark one eyeball may be off but is the trailer towing at a slight up angle? If you have sway issues down the road you may consider adjusting so it is level to slightly down angle. Probably worth to pull across a scale also, to check hitch weight. Looks like fun!
  16. Starlink Internet Now Available Worldwide

    Anyone know if this can be used as a mobile device, as in an RV? This also solves a connection issue I have in Mexico. If this is mobile and usable for the months I'm in Mexico it would be sweet.
  17. Ford licensed TBC Install Instructions

    I finally had someone install the OEM TBC VKB3Z-2C006_A, in preparation of a new trailer and SXS. I have a 2019 lariat with factory tow package. Below are some observations and perhaps helpful tips. I bought online from Varsity Ford which offered the least expensive price at the time ($262) 1...
  18. Another Towing Question

    The reviews were all over the board on amazon. Clearly not as accurate as a scale but perhaps better than not going to a scale and relying on an educated guess. End solution should still be check at the scale.
  19. Another Towing Question

    Has anyone used the betterweigh mobile tow scale system and have feedback? Amazon.com: CURT 51701 BetterWeigh Mobile Towing Scale with TowSense Technology (OBD2) Apple, Android Smartphones, Tongue Weight, GCW, Weight Distribution: Automotive
  20. Just updated to Sync 3.4 on my Ranger 2019

    Ditto to the previous 2 posters. No issues and about 18 minute install for me. Uploaded xml file and got a green check mark afterwards but subsequent check says an upload is available. I suspect it will take several days for the upload to get to the dbase . I went from 3.4.20136 to 3.4.20282
