  1. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    You would not happen to need the Blue Ox baseplate for it, would you?
  2. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    I cannot be sure it is a wide issue and in fact, I believe it is not a wide issue. I have not seen any 2020 or 2021 trucks with the issue. I think it was something peculiar with mine. I had what we now think were leading indicators (change in shifting, caught a whiff of hot transmission...
  3. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    Well, they tell me the Ranger is fixed and the dealer I bought it from will pick it up tomorrow and make me an offer for it. I will make a decision to either sell it to them or sell it myself based on their offer. I am simply spooked with flat towing this specific truck. They really cannot...
  4. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    I test drove a Rubicon yesterday. Like the truck but was not impressed with the dealership. I have a nicer dealership working to get me another one from a different dealer...or I may just drive up there (80 miles is all) and get it. Snazzberry Pearl! ?
  5. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    I want to point out something Ford Technical wrote in my file. They said a voltage drop to 10.8v or lower could allow the TC to have shifted. And the following warning is in the owners manual: WARNING: Do not disconnect the battery during recreational towing. It prevents the transfer case from...

    We did get an additional update. The transmission got damaged enough that they are replacing the transmission and cooling system. From what I was told, it means both metal and melted plastic were found in the system. We should get it back toward the end of next week, so that is good to have...

    How do you like the Gladiator and which model did you get? Thinking a Rubicon is a good answer for us, but interested in your input.
  8. Flat Tow Supplmental Braking Issue

    We have flat towed our ranger maybe 5k miles using Invisibrake and never experienced any braking issue at all. I have not tried to compare the two braking systems, but I suspect it could be unique to your brand of braking system. My brother also tows a 2019 Ranger FX4 with Invisibrake and has...
  9. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    Well, you can add mine to the list. It is at the dealer now. For at least months and maybe a year, I had noticed it shifted firmer than when it was new, but really did not think we had a problem. We completed a trip flat towing it, the transfer case came out of neutral according to the screen...
