Towing my 7X16 foot cargo trailer I averaged 15.7 mpg over 892 miles. used a mix on 87 and 93 gas. trailer was empty with a weight of 2320 pounds. Both US highways and Interstates. Kept the speed down to about 60-65 mph. The trailer has a lot of frontal area.

Thanks for the wonderful write-up. I am on my way home with a 7X16 foot cargo trailer and will try to post as much detail as you did after I get home.

On my Ranger, the A/C fan speed control is the LARGEST knob. XL with 101A package.

Picked my trailer up yesterday. Started driving home today. P3 works as expected.

Just picked up my trailer today. Got the brake controller adjusted. Start home (Georgia to Dallas) tomorrow morning. Trailer tows well. It is empty, so only about 2300 pounds.

I made a templet out of cardboard to get the shape, then cut it on a bandsaw. Just construction 2X6 material painted black. By the way, I am picking the trailer up today and just installed the mirrors "for real" this morning. NO problem.

I just arrived in Georgia from Dallas, TX. 2-wheel drive XL supercab. Had 689 miles on it when I left home. Trip was 889 miles. 50% interstate, 40% main US highways, 10% smaller roads. Used speed control extensively. Ranger display indicated 27.9 MPG. Tonight I added up the gas I purchased, and...

Re: The XL trim model has 16" wheels/rims and other trim models might have 2 extra inches, in height, due to different rims/wheels. I believe that ALL have the same outside diameter. The larger wheels have lower profile tires.

Those of us with SYNC (not SYNC-3) can NOT connect Android Auto. So I am thinking that, just maybe, those of us with SYNC do not have that sound issue. Any thoughts in this?

Thanks

Any chance of a picture of the two installed? Going to visit grand kids,so may have to learn how to do that.

Ready for the everglades :)

I have never herd it either. Does the radio or sound system have to be ON or does it work (if it exists) like a chime??

That is SO like something my kids would get me :)

I got married in 68 :)

Nice :)

I still have my jump boots :)
