My Ranger on the beach in Long Beach Washington.

Has been great so far. Great mix between fun to drive and get things done. Just took it on vacation and it handled the towing extremely well and was awesome when I took it on the sand. Lots of smiles

I towed about 200 miles today and the truck + the P3 did great. I have a trailer that is about 3800 loaded.

Thanks Rangerdanger I did read it. That is why I was looking for more information about it. As the original post said the Ford option would be available in q4 not that we had to wait for q4 to get more info. Also there could be more information on after market controller guidance and...

Any updates on an official Ford option? I have the P3 installed but am still interested in what Ford may come out with or any more information on after market compatibility. Going to take my truck and trailer on the road for the first trip next week. A lingering doubt is what will happen if...

I had a 2017 Colorado long box with the duramax. I have found the overall ride in the ranger to be smoother. Major difference if the tires are not inflated properly. The Colorado was longer and has more traction in the real tires. I have a gravel drive and my tires slip in the gravel easily...

Count me in. Had this on my Colorado and really liked it. BTW would be great if you could come up with a tailgate step as well. So you can step up into the bed with the tailgate open. Thanks

It could still work if you have a trim level below xlt and lariat as theblower trims don't have all of the driver assist and safety features. I have the p3 installed now and it works well so far.

I watched the install video. Not sure that I want to put this on a brand new truck. I did notice a few holes in the tailgate which was why I thought this may be an idea. I did not see the holes before the spray liner. Probably to support the drop in liner? Anyway I like the harbor freight...

Maybe we all have one waiting in the back of the garage or shed.....

Will be interested in your report back after your trip. I got my P3 installed today and did a test tow around town with no issues. Was interesting to see how much the back of the truck settled with the trailer attached. Basically it leveled the truck - Truck and trailer fully level for the...

I have seen examples of fold out ladders. Thoughts on those? https://realtruck.com/p/traxion-tailgate-ladder/v/ford/ranger/2019/

If the OEM controller is radically different that the redarc and the P3 controllers - requiring a replacement. I would see Ford as liable for a recall or free install if you bought a rig with the tow package. They sell the truck based upon the tow capacity but without an controller that cannot...

I had a 2017 Colorado long bed duramax. Solid truck but it was just too long for getting tine parking garages etc. Plus the length made it very difficult to swing my rv around in my driveway. So I looked at the Colorado with a short bed, the Gladiator, and the Ranger. I did not consider the...

Good to know. Having the P3 installed on Saturday. Latest update on the echo. Etailer said they removed the echo as a fit for the Ford ranger but it is still there. They just increased the messaging that states it is not compatible with smart trailering. You would think that this would just...

I am glad my experience was helpful. I have decided to get the P3 as I want an pro to do the wiring and could not find an local vendor to do the install. Tried to do the wiring myself but I am not as limber as I used to be. Very tight to get in there and do the wiring.

I saw my first one since I purchased today. It was blue with a lot of Chrome. The very first one I was over the winter at the ski slope. I looked over and at first thought it was an F150 and then took a closer look.

Hi I bought my Lariat about a month ago and already have 2,000 miles on it. Love it so far. I had a 2017 Colorado Duramax long Bed previously. It was great to hauling my RV and for MPG but a pain to park and maneuver when in town. The Ranger is just plain fun to drive and it gets around in...

I reached out to etrailer and to Fordparts. Etrailer responded first. Apparently the smart towing features interfere with the Echo. You get that feature with the factory tow package. Etrailer still recommends the echo but now states it is not compatible with the smart trailering features. I...

OK I took my truck in to get it checked to see why I was not getting the brake signal to the controller. They said everything was fine so I decided to try this again. I could not get it to work properly. The closest I got was when I turned off the truck, then it sent the signal to the app and...
