Hasn't the super cab always and only been available with the 6' box in North America?

We have a KZ escape 21. This is a 24' trailer with a 20' box and represents the largest trailer I would want to pull from the point of view of dragging a large box behind the truck. The GVWR of the trailer is 4500 lbs and the truck pulls it great and breaks are not an issue. Tongue weight is...

This isn't exactly what I was thinking about but it sounds stinking cool.

Just my ignorance here, but the last time I owned something with a small gas engine (gas lawn mower) there were additional issues with fuel stabilization and I had to do a carb clean out once a year. That wasn't too bad to do at the start of spring but this would get used irregularly and I can...

Initially I had leaned away from that largely due to their need for regular maintenance and that they would need special consideration during transportation but that may we'll be simpler in the end. Not having power for a while might be crummy but if I break our tow vehicle that will ruin a...

I have seen that thread and read it over. There is a lot of "I've heard ..." and the like and of course those are related to the alternator rating which, as has been pointed out by @canyonslicker and others, is different than what can be produced at idle. If I'm missing something please let me know.

In fairness it's more like 10-11 which I suppose means that I could nearly 200 miles before running completely empty but given that being empty would ruin the trip I try to keep enough in the tank so I don't have to worry about that. Having said that were we camp in Colorado once you get off the...

This is the #1 reason I don't have a deposit down on a Lightning. I think they are great trucks for most uses and perhaps even most people but the only reason I own a truck is to tow a travel trailer. Our trips are between 100 and 400 miles in one direction and I hate that the range on the...

I am looking to get an inverter to use while camping or in an emergency to charge a "Solar Generator". We do have some solar but not enough to charge things up quickly. What I'm wondering is how much juice have folks pulled off of the alternator on their ranger at idle for extended periods of...

I'd be surprised if you hadn't thought of this, but do you have auto stop start disabled? I know some people really hate it but I find it makes a big difference when I'm in heavy traffic.

This is definitely something I'm interested in as well as our travels are a lot like yours. I know there is a 36 gallon aftermarket tank available but really I've only ever felt like an extra 4-5 gallons would be needed and I don't like the fact it hangs down below the frame rails.

Pretty sure I saw that also. Something to the effect that if your tongue weight is above 500lbs a WDH is required. I can't find it now either.

I have 1 kid, a four year old, and the ranger has been great for her. As others have mentioned with younger kids less is more so that you or you wife can reach them in the back seat. I will say a good friend of mine has three kids, 7-13, and they barely fit in the back seat of his F150. When...

I think you would need to build some sort of platform for it to sit on above the wheel arches. If you did that it would fit but it would be riding fairly high.

Agreed on this. I've owned a couple of older diesels and they were great and the low end torque makes them feel like they have way more power than they do but look at the F150 diesel getting replaced by the hybrid. For the same price the hybrid gets similar mileage and more torque. If you had...

It does appear to have manufacture plates on it so I could easily believe it's some sort of test mule but I'm not sure why it would so loudly declare that it's a Raptor in that case.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what makes you think it's a diesel?

I have a few comments here Compared to similarly priced cars (not other midsized trucks) the interior is primitive (this may or may not be a good thing but it does feel like you shouldn't have to pay for less. Not being able to adjust many of the climate control settings when you are using...

That is one cool truck. The color is amazing, and I love the hood.

Yeah, I know my dealer only has few rangers left on the lot but two of them are 2020 Roush rangers and I think the only thing that will get them sold is the chip shortage.
