Post 13 picture. I’m like 7x9 plus 6” just at he A/C. So i am 56 sq ft basically. The awning sticks out a bit, but essentially I’m pretty close to the max and have no issues. I personally feel the stock mirrors are barely adequate, and I have significantly better, faster sight lines with...

5000lbs, 60mph 13mpg uphill into the wind, typically 15-15.5mpg. No trailer, 21-22mpg all hand calculated.

I’m not Grumpa, but yes I use premium when towing, but if I can’t get it, I can still tow fine. Unloaded I use regular. I have an Equalizer 10K hitch used with a previous truck and trailer. It’s over kill for my Escape 19, but I already had it. I prefer the ride with a WDH, eliminates...

Late to the thread, but my 4X2 is mostly used for towing. Stock rear shocks were pretty bad to me. After a test drive I knew it would be one of my first changes. I have a stock front and 4600’s on the rear with the blue Sumo‘s. It has worked very well for me like this.

I don’t know how Ford calculates it, but it’s only 55sq ft for the Ranger rating. Width will increase resistance, and visibility decreases; plus, depending on the driver, possibly fatigue over equal time. The Scamp is 6’8” wide. There are many 7’ wide trailers. I have trailers from 7’ to 8...

Towed with the Ranger today for the first time with the new ClearView mirrors with BLISS. As per the thread, the mirrors along with the truck as normal, had no issues.

I have an Escape 19. 4650lbs loaded and ready to go with 560lbs tongue weight. It’s probably the heaviest Escape 19. I put Bilstien 4600 shocks on the back only because I did not like the ride of the stock shocks. I have a 2021 2WD XLT scab. I have the Ford variant of the Redarc brake...

BTW, max Hp according to Ford is 5,500 RPM, and redline is 6000-6500RPM depending on who you read. So as little time as mine spends over 4000, I’m not sweating it. I have a hard time just getting tranny fluid up to 206F to check it.

Mine does that on hills that you want to pick up speed on at the bottom, but I’ve fever seen more than 4500 RPM. Many hills it doesn’t do it, but often when you look down the road and hit the gas it doesn’t let go as fast as I wish, but never 5000 RPM.

Mark, I will continue praying for you, your mom, and that those around you, including home health, step up to help you as well. It reads like you are doing well at prioritizing and juggling everything thrown at you.

The first two times it responded as soon as I next looked at the app. Not sure what took so long this time.

After driving the truck some more, the app finally picked up the oil change.

Not yet. I’ll drive it about 38 miles tomorrow and then we’ll see. The app still can’t find oil life. Will probably have to delete and reinstall. As a sidenote, last oil report:

Thanks. I logged out and back in. Now it can’t find oil life, so I hope that means it will the next time I drive the truck (Friday).

Did my 3rd oil change. With the first two, the app and truck reset the oil life monitor automatically. On the third, it has not reset. I finally went to the truck menus and reset it. The app, 8 days later, has still not rest. Tire pressure, fuel, mileage all updated at least twice, but oil life...

The DS one is looser, but I shake the whole truck running it in and out. I tow often. I bought the truck specifically for trips. Of the 11,000 miles on the truck, 8000 are towing. I’m sure over time I may eventually ask how to tighten them up!

The vid I found had very different arms. However, I lubed them and the DS is still super tight.

Installed mine this morning. DS mirror is very stiff to move in and out. I’m glad they fold for my garage since they are wider than stock. I’d guess 3” wider total for both. I have the mid grade with BLISS. They were easy to install. I used the Allen wrench L shaped style Torx wrench and did...

I would prefer not to have them, but my wife likes them and uses them whenever we take the Ranger. She would complain until I installed them, so they were ordered before the truck arrived.

I added some stuff, but what I took off first were the rear seat bottoms and headrest, and replaced rear shocks.
