Newbie here, came for info and got lots of good stuff. But after a coupla weeks blocked one guy. YUP!
Glad you have come back and appreciate all the good friends and info to be shared on this MB.
Mine seems to overlap the fender by a small, but noticeable, amount on the passenger side. looks fine on the driver's side. Not worth taking back to have some service dept newbie really mess it up.
Please, Grumpaw, I am 75 and been driving and towing for many decades just like you. If you took on the mirror install, you could easily do the rear-view camera install. You should try it, and If you do and don't agree it's the best thing since sliced bread, ... well then I guess we'll just have...
I bought some clip-on mirrors. They were fairly stable and worked okay for our first few local trips. Knowing we had a > 2000 mile RT coming up, I installed a Haloview rear facing camera system on our TT. Best money I have ever spent on an add-on. Our TT is seven feet wide and by having such a...
I know my post is not directly tied to your question but as a point you might consider as long as you are thinking about braking issues... four wheels braking is much better than two. When I downsized to a Ranger sized travel trailer, I put tandem axle as a must have on my new trailer. BTW, I...
Just a word of advice from a long-time RVer try to get them to upgrade you to a 15,000 BTU A/C.
You will not be sorry. Whatever you decide on. Have fun and be safe. Welcome to RVing.
So now that we all agree that all years/models of our Rangers have a butt ugly drivers side fender well. One that will ultimately fill up with road debris and whatever. Especially that square hole thingy. I'm wondering when some enterprising after-market company will give us an option to do what...
So I got the truck out of the garage and looked at my under-hood situation as well as my wheel wells. My hood has the weatherstrips but no bumper blocks. The passenger wheel well liner pretty much encloses the underside of the fender. The driver's side, however, looks completely unfinished. I...
Just bought some additional warranty coverage. Used my Ford Visa. Waiting to see if I get any extra points. Anyone else use their Ford Visa to buy this from Granger? Normally pass on these deals but with the complexity of the Ranger, I feel better having the coverage for the expected...
First trip to the Oregon coast for camping we were towing out travel trailer with a Ram 2500 diesel. Oddly enough, you cannot pump your own gas but it's okay to pump your own diesel. We leave in a couple weeks for there again so now I'm in a gas rig so I guess they will pump my gas. I thought I...
As far as thrifty driving goes, this (keep you out of the boost) is good advice. BUT.. to know what you have when it's merge time etc. everyone needs to get after it once in a while. I was amazed at how much scat this little PU has. Have fun on your trip and stay safe.
When towing our trailer, I carry an extra 6 gallons in a boat motor type tank that I can transfer into my truck if needed. I do wonder what would happen if I were to run out. So not to hijack this, but has anyone actually run out? And if so, how much of a hassle was it to get going again?
After towing around a couple 30 foot double slide TTs in our first 10 retirement years, we decided to downsize this past year. Sold the Forrest River double slide outfit and 3/4 ton truck and got into a Winnebago Micro Minnie towed beautifully by our Ranger. The tandem torsion bar axles provide...
When I see a post like this, I'm glad I dropped the extra $420 for the locker option. Just like the tow package, it is a very good deal. I'm wondering what the part plus install costs.
Yes, and if like some, you do not read the manual before taking off in your new ride, you can come here and get lots of support and comedic comments about your questions.
