If it's of any interest to you, this is my thread detailing how I worked out my towing problems ;) (1) Towing my horse trailer | 2019+ Ford Ranger and Raptor Forum (5th Generation) - Ranger5G.com

Wonderful and well deserved!!

And the coca cola?

Great setup!! Thanks for your input, looks like you can go anywhere with your rig!

Empty. It's a Featherlite, known for their aluminum construction.

Thank you for your observations! I had read another member here state that while WDH is required he had always done it and always would. I thought, well, maybe I'll give that a try! I found that the fifth chain link actually did give a more solid road feel. Maybe one day I will find a weigh...

Ford doesn't require WDH on their towing page, but the trailer feels better in strong wind, so I used them. Thank you!

I will try a notch or two up, maybe it'll be even more stable. Our next trip is only 170kms, in a few weeks. Never heard of that hitch, I'll have a look! My daughters both ride. This time it was the dressage mare, a Hanoverian doing Prix St Georges for the Canadian Young Riders Program.

I have been towing my Featherlite 2 horse slant since 2005. First with an X5 with the straight six gas engine, then with my 2011 X5 diesel. The trailer weighs 3500lbs. I have had and used the Weight distribution hitch. I use a Tekonsha Prodigy RF brake controller. It works flawlessly. The...

Just wanted to add to the experience bank here ?

I had lowered my spare for the rear shock swap. Tightened it yesterday and the squeak is gone, thank goodness!

I wanted to love the truck from Day 1 but the stock shocks made towing my 3500lb horse trailer too scary. I slapped on some 5100s and it made all the difference. No hate here!

That's awesome - when my arms are full and I don't want the tailgate to slam down I'm happy I did this little mod too. You'll find the members of this forum are somehow derisive of the tailgate damper mod but I'm pretty sure it's just a joke. My daughters and wife appreciate the damper as...

It's a well known fact that the FX4 package with or without mods (including Royally Decreed Tailgate Damper) is the base vehicle for our pothole strewn roads these days!

Of course!!

6'1 194, keep fit and once I put the purse down it was a breeze! A little patience and contortionism required for the top of the passenger side. All in it took me an hour and a quarter. That includes getting out the owner's manual to figure out removing the spare tire. Actually that was good...

I've been towing this trailer with X5s the last 17 years. The E53 with the straight natural six and since 2014 the E70 diesel. Both are rated for 6,000lbs and I never really had any problems. I only towed two horses a long way once, and I kept it at 90 km/h the whole time. I feel like the...

Thank you!

I love everything about it! Just need to iron out this trailering issue!!

Thank you for the correction! Yes, shocks. I located the Ford part number, but is there a "one size fits most " rear shock? Like this? https://eibach.ca/part/2020/Ford/Ranger/Eibach+Springs/Shock+Absorber/E60-35-048-01-01/
