How much do they charge for the feature? The tow package on my truck without the controller ran about $495. So with a brake controller included, maybe $850?
When I am doing an oil change/tire rotation, I inspect all the rubber bushings and boots to make sure nothing needs attention. The only time I remember hitting the bump stops hard is when I went over a speed bump too fast, so I suspect they rarely get used unloaded.
I hope all this uncertainty doesn't drive people to buying EV's. I am hoping my truck is my last vehicle and I don't want gas going sky high in the next 15 years or so.
I carry a Husky 12 ton bottle jack and two rubber wheel chocks in my Swing Case box. Also carry a 24" breaker bar and a 1/2" torque wrench behind the back seat.
Yes, do a search on that and a few threads will pop up. I am still running my stock tires and haven't tried this. It might be a little trial and error with the setting as a tire is not the exact diameter stated in the specs due to inflation pressure and the weight of the truck.
In either case, I would get a very through checkup by a good mechanic. Most of the folks with no issues want to keep their Rangers, those plagued with issues trade them out. My 21 is not so decontented that I really care.
I taught my youngest son how to drive in my then 4 month old Ranger and I was a nervous wreck the whole time. A lady blasted through a stop sign right in front of us and I yelled stop so loud that the pedestrians next to us started laughing. Somehow the Ranger survived the drivers training...
