I installed the Eibach PRO-TRUCK LIFT SYSTEM (Stage 1) and a 1" block in back, and am very pleased with it. I have 25k miles on it so far.
Off road it is phenomenal. Its not the plushest ride on-road. I also tow heavy (something I wasn't anticipating when I decided to lift and go bigger...
Stop in at Two Chicks & A Hippie
117 Navajo Trail Dr #9033, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147
Treat yourself to a sticky bun.
Perhaps the best bakery item I've ever tasted. The earlier in the morning you stop by the better as they will be fresher.
Also take a soak in the hot springs.
I was walking back from a bathroom break and noticed the "big rig" was lined up with my "mid-size rig". I thought it gave nice perspective to our size going down the highway.
I run 91 when I tow. 87 when I'm empty. If I plan it out right, I try to run a tank of 91 through while empty prior to hitching up to the trailer. I don't know if it matters, but in my mind it lets the computer acclimate to the 91 before loading it up.
Grumpaw, May I suggest on your trip to the Tetons, stopping by Thermopolis, WY and staying at the fountain of youth RV Park, which has its own mineral hot spring at the park that is free to use.
On top of that we found Thermopolis to be great fun as we explored several hot springs, played golf...
Just got back from a 6464 mile camping trip towing our TT. Thought I would share my experience.
First, background. I have - '19 Ranger with Eibach 3-1/2" front and 1" rear lift. 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Clear view tow mirrors. No other mods.
TT weighs about 7200 lbs fully loaded with...
I tow about 7200lbs fully loaded TT. 8.5' wide because the wife insisted on a king bed. It also has a tip out. I have 285/70/17s on my Ranger and it has absolutely no problem with the trailer. The only issue I have is stopping at every gas station because I only get 10mpg while towing and...
I really like that you weighed it with and without the weight distribution hitch set up. It really shows how the system works. Great job to do that. In reviewing your data, the "ideal" set up for weight distribution is that the front axle will have the same weight on them when you are hitched...
In my mind, Ford had 3 must does for 6G.
1- bigger gas tank
2- Make the Bronco's manual trans available
3- Improve fuel economy with a hybrid option
All fails. I think Ranger market share will fall with the 6G rather than go up.
My son has the Firestone LE3s on his SUV and really liked them. So when it came time to put new shoes on my SUV I put the LE3s on mine as well. So far I'm happy with them. That's suvs though, not a mid sized truck.
All I can tell you is what to definitely NOT buy. I purchased the Memphis Audio SRX60C component front door speakers from crutchfield as recommended by the crutchfield advisor. I was looking at infinity originally. I put them in my Ranger. They were so inferior to the stock speakers that I...
So far I'm very happy with my '19. It does everything a want it to do, and plenty I didn't know I'd ask it to do. Its paid off, and I feel comfortable saying that a 6g equipped like mine would cost $12k-ish more than I paid. I usually get a 2 year itch to trade vehicles, but 4 years in, I like...
I did unattach my door panel without disconnecting or removing it. I hung from the top of the door with a ratchet strap so I could push it out of the way. However, if you have the right tools, you might be able to replace the mirror without unattaching the door like I did.
Have you removed your drop in liner yet? I had one that I bought to keep the paint pretty when I bought the truck new. When I went to sell the truck, I removed the bedliner to show off the brand new paint beneath, only to discover the drop in bedliner had rubbed off all the paint below it like...
Grumpaw,
Since I've seen you on the site for awhile and I know from your posts you've been towing for awhile, I assume that you have towed a fair amount of miles with the OEM Pmetric (not LT) tires. I've never seen a post of yours talking about any issues towing with your current configuration...
While I've been impressed with my Ranger's towing ability, I got to take it up elk hunting in the snow covered mountains of Wyoming. Some of the credit goes to my 33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the suspension mods that allowed them, but the Ranger felt nimble, smooth, sure footed, and down right...
Yes, very similar problems. I installed the driver side and everything worked. When I installed the passenger side it didn't and then the drivers side didn't either. Sounded like a fuse so I tracked it down and checked. Yes it was blown. Figured the passenger side caused the problem. Took...
When mine arrived, the first thing I thought, based on the condition of the packaging, was that these were returns or something. Plus they had a foot long wad of wiring hanging off them with all these splices. I'm starting to think I paid full price for refurbs. Mine definitely didn't look...
