Actually, it can eliminate sway, but it doesn’t eliminate the force of wind. I am not a mechanical engineer, but I to get sway, I believe you will need (1) a pivot point; and (2) you need the trailer to be moving faster than the tow vehicle. The Hensley does not allow the trailer to pivot at the...

IMO, I would not say that you are good to go as long as you are within the tow capacity. The truth is that not all trailers pull the same. A travel trailer with its large frontal area and high sides will be more difficult to pull than boat or a flatbed trailer. Also, forget the tow capacity and...

When considering weight distributing hitches, here is my take: Most RV dealers seem to recommend a simple weight distributing hitch with the add on friction sway control. This is what I started out with, and I can tell you from experience, they are junk. Don’t waste your money on one. The next...

I agree with this. I would look for an independent shop. When the AC compressor failed on my Tacoma, I called my local Toyota dealer and they quoted me $3k-$5k based on how much damage was done to the HVAC system. I took it to a local shop that I used before and they repaired the system for...

Did you buy a Ranger recently?

Wow! I wonder how many Ivy League MBA's were involved in this decision?

Glad to hear your all okay. From past experience with a similar type of accident, do not open a claim with your insurance until you have to. I made this mistake with Progressive. In my case, the other party was cited. Their insurance was taking longer than I liked for their investigation, so I...

Sounds like you have a lot of money - LOL!

Wow, Chapman did that! They are certainly not the lowest price in the Phoenix area, but I have never seen them that bad. My son purchased a new Ranger STX FX4 off Chapman Ford's lot in July. His deal was MSRP - $1500 Ford incentives + I think they split the dealer adds. At that time, Chapman was...

So out of curiosity, I just put the 2017 Mustang GT Premium I used to own up against a 2017 Scat Pack Challenger on KBB. Assuming the cars had 45k miles, here are the trade in numbers for very good condition Challenger: $33,760 Mustang: $30,762 It is very possible that the Scat Pack Challenger...

I have been getting quite a few calls from dealers lately and as I recall, Chapman Ford in Scottsdale is @ $1650 for their dealer adds. LOL - they were not offering the Performance package, but they were offering the KARR alarm system. BTW, just got a call today from a sales manager at Peoria...

I thought he said they offered to buy it out right for $43k. So that would be with all the mods. The question I would have is regarding the $46k on the new Tremor. What fees is the dealer looking to add? BTW, I was looking at Rangers a few months ago and all of a sudden two local Ford dealers...

That would get the job done.

What would be really entertaining would be for a certain Ranger with a tow tune on 33's to pull up next to a SRT 392 Scat Pack Charger. I'm sure the guy driving the Charger would enjoy that. A guy I used to work with had a 392 Scat Pack Challenger with a Supercharger. What an impressive car!

So why is there no mention of the 2022 Ranger on the Ford website?

Congrats Dave!

I would have called my auto insurance company and added the GAP rider to my policy long before I paid a dealer $1200 for it. How much negative equity do you think you have in your Ranger?

Good luck!

Has the insurance company made a decision?

I think the website you are talking about is copart.com. Regarding the insurance company totaling it, I think that will come down to the value of a wrecked Ranger in today’s market. With yours, it looks like the whole driveline, interior, airbags and some body panels are totally intact. So, your...
