Especially if you compare towing solo+7500lb trailer vs 4 people+gear+7500lb trailer. Could easily break the 6050 gvwr with (4) 200 lb peeps and bed full of gear + 7500 lb trailer, according to my math.
This caught my eye because I had the reverse experience. Ive only had RWD then I got a new daily and it was a FWD. Went from extreme occasional oversteer with the rwd to "I can't turn!" with the FWD. The first few drives that winter were interesting to say the least. ?
Figured id mention here that forscan figured out the fake noise for mine, check out my posts https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/disable-fake-engine-noise.2885/page-7
I don't know when or if forscan will bring it to the main build. My xlt only had ESE and no ANC by the way. I don't know...
-My first oil change at 1500miles because it was at the twist. A lot of short daily trips under couple miles. It didn't reek of gas to me, maybe a hint but its hard to tell with new oils today.
-From 1500-2200 miles, more short trips. Was at the dot in 700 miles, about the same level...
Serious question. Who uses their folding mirrors on the ranger specifically? The stock mirrors don't fold in that far to significantly change the width, few inch maybe??, not like F-series where it saves damn near a foot.
Honest questions.
I actually forgot mine had folding mirrors.
I would not do this. I live in a pretty rural and redneck area, and people get fined all the time for doing this. I know it feels like right thing to do, and I always pack heat in my cars, but its not worth the potential hassle/headache over a dumb deer IMO. It'll die eventually and something...
You probably woulda been fine puttin it in 4h. Ive run 4h on dry pavement in a hot tuned and modded diesel pickup to get max traction off the line. Binding only occurs in corners, not in straight lines.
And the fact of the matter is tires will lose traction before hard parts snap even dry...
Full e85 tune only? That peaks my interest. I assumed it wasn't capable. I went through this with my 2010 taurus sho, it could only handle e30 about or the rail pressure would drop too low because the hpfp couldnt keep up. Different/older vehicle though, I kno.
Can you try changing yours and see if it changes speedometer? then change it back obviously.
I am curious because previous fords had the "tire size & axle ratio" setting and it was only for part throttle shifting. The ranger may be different now though.
I swear you could do it with forscan...
I did rough measurements when I first bought the truck and 1-1.5 inch in the front would make the truck level with 500lbs tongue weight, which is what I estimate the max I plan on hauling. 500lb tongue weight is about 5000lb trailer, give or take some depending on setup.
Not a fan of opposite...
WTF is this thread. Its like disabling abs because you think it wears out your brakes faster. Come on.
Better sell all your micro processor controlled battery chargers and go back to the old school fixed output ones too.
"5th wheel in an F150 (which is perfectly fine) and trying to pull 30,000lbs" .... Oh come on now, that might be a little bit a stretch. ?
I don't know the similarities in the AU frame and the US one. You may be floating in uncharted waters.
Make sure to post about it if you get it done...
@WpgLariat I don't know what everyone is goin on about. 2019 ranger is by far capable of what you mentioned. If it can handle 7500 lbs off a trailer hitch then it can handle 7500 lbs of a properly mounted gooseneck.
The real issue is I don't think anyone makes a kit, at least from what ive...
