Surprised that there were three Rangers visible in the same parking lot in Peachtree City today as I sat in the dentist office. Mine and two others. They're multiplying! :-)

Your link shows a hitch weight of 630 lbs in the specifications. Assuming that's the "dry" hitch weight, then you will also need to add the weight of the propane, plus your weight distribution hitch weight to that. If you carry anything at all in the camper, then a percentage of that weight...

I had the German 2.0 engine in my stick shift Pinto and it was really fun to drive. I also had the American 2.0 engine in my first Ranger S, and it was slow, but worked. Never did figure out if the "S" stood for slow, or stripped.

So, what were his thoughts on Fumoto valves and catch cans? I like that Raptor!

Being a first time tow-er, it would be good if you can practice on something a little smaller and lighter at first to see if you would feel comfortable with what you plan to get. Maybe rent a heavy U-Haul and pull it at highway speeds on a windy day. Once you buy a camper you are stuck with a...

Firsts for me; First one I owned that had a turbo. First one with a 10 speed transmission. First with a locking rear axle. First one with a factory tow package.

We've been thinking of the Escape travel trailers, made in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. Right now the exchange rate is pretty beneficial if your'e in the USA and paying Canadian dollars. The smallest currently made is the 17' single axle (2540 lbs dry), but they have double axles in the 19' (3150...

Haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with the Ranger for carrying our canoe/kayak, but with our Dakota we used a "T" post mounted on the rear bumper where the tow ball would go, and a foam pad on the roof. Didn't like straps going through the passenger compartment though. We later got the...

Looks like the 2020 Iconic silver will be slightly darker than the 2019 Ingot silver. My post above shows what black vinyl letters look like on the Ingot silver but I guess it's really up to you and what you like. I kind of like AR-19 (Ryan's) patriotic letters but not sure how they would look...

Too bad they don't have a 72 axle though; then it would be; 71 - 3.73 ratio, Conventional differential 72 - 3.73 ratio, Limited Slip 73 - 3.73 ratio, ELD I have the 73 - ELD but it's just not the same as Limited Slip. It suits my needs though, which is to be able to pull my camper out of a...

Another advantage if you have a different carrier is if you are in a dead spot with your carrier, the built in WiFi using AT&T might still have coverage.

I was looking at a video on Softoppers and discovered that Bestop has one for the 6' Supercab, but not for my Supercrew.

Was that pretty easy to install, and does it cover the gap in the front of the bed pretty well? I assume that's the Softopper brand. Do the bed rails just sit on top of the overhead rack supports?

Thanks, if it shuts down after an hour I won't have to worry about running the battery down too much if I leave the GPS plugged in then. Those cows in your photo sure seem to be admiring your Ranger! :-)

If I understand it correctly the RF model doesn't require the blue brake controller wire from the Ranger to be activated and takes the electronic signal from a combination of the left and right turn signals, which will both be powered if you press the brake pedal, and would allow the...

So far I've only added two accessories to my XLT Supercrew. It came with the only options I wanted (tow package and locking diff), but I added Huskyliner floor mats in the front only, and black vinyl "RANGER" letters on the tailgate. I'm happy with both. The Huskyliners are good for collecting...

I always like to check the towing restrictions in the manual. Unfortunately, there are lots of contradictions in my manual regarding towing. When towing a trailer: - Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) even if a country allows higher speeds under certain conditions. (I can only tow at 62 MPH or...

Is it confirmed that the 12 volt outlets actually shut off after 1 or 2 hours? I'm used to leaving my GPS plugged into the outlet, and it shuts down in my other cars as soon as I remove the key. I was surprised the other night when I came out to the Ranger and saw the GPS was still lit up. If...

I retired shortly after the last Atlanta 1" snow/ice storm :-) Nice how they closed the downtown interstates for a few days, I was able to stay home with pay. I also got the 2WD with the locker. Hope I never need the locker but it should help if I get stuck pulling our camper off a wet soggy...

We haven't pulled our 16' Scamp with the Ranger yet, just waiting to put 1,000 miles on the truck first. The Scamps tow pretty easily, and seem to be fairly aerodynamic on the front end. I have towed ours with a Subaru Outback and other tow vehicles with much less rated capacity than the Ranger...
