  1. Iowa Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

    Mine is definitely not 6 ft.
  2. Iowa Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

    This fits the short (i.e., 61”) bed option. I’m pretty sure both the super cab and super crew can come with a 61” bed.
  3. Iowa Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

    Still available. You're not going to find a better deal.
  4. Iowa Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

    I have a Gator EFX Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover in excellent condition for sale, as I have replaced it with an A.R.E. topper. It was originally purchased from TonneauCoversWorld.com (Model #GUC-GC24022) in July 2021 for $715.83. This cover fits the short bed 5th Gen Ranger. All original parts...
  5. Check Your Fuse #71

    Good advice. In the end, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. My trailer lighting is all LED and doesn’t draw a lot of current under normal operation. It all seems good for now. If moisture intrusion or some other unknown factor eventually recreates itself and causes a short, the 30A fuse...
  6. Check Your Fuse #71

    That’s a great question. Now I’m even more confused. Attaching the description portion of my work order…
  7. Check Your Fuse #71

    The running lights on my travel trailer wouldn’t work as we were getting ready to head out on a multi-week trip. Troubleshooting on the trailer didn’t reveal anything so I figured it might be a blown fuse. Rather than delay our departure we decided to limit our travel to daylight hours and have...
  8. Ford Perimeter Plus Alarm system

    I just kept fine tuning the sensitivity until it matched my expectations. That's one of the advantages of mounting the unit in such a way that it allows easy access to the adjustment knob. If someone grabs and releases an exterior door handle when the door is locked, letting the spring snap it...
  9. Trailer Sway Control

    Only on rare occasion, and only under extreme wind conditions (those that convince me to just get off the road and wait until the next day). ?
  10. Your WD and Sway control of choice?

    Curt 600/6000 with companion friction anti sway bar. Simple, inexpensive, and effective. I remove the anti sway bar when backing the trailer. Curt MV Weight Distribution System Round Bar *Edit: Sorry, didn't realize I was dusting off an old post...
  11. Trailer Sway Control

    In my experience, my towing is optimized with the use of a WDH in combination with a friction anti sway device. IRT the OP's original question (i.e., the function of the Ranger's installed electronic anti sway capability) I have found my vehicle actually behaves better with the electronic anti...
  12. Scary towing experience

    I've discovered my least optimal towing experience is when the relative wind is coming from the forward quarter (i.e., about 45 degrees off from straight ahead). I actually get slightly better mileage and performance with the wind coming from dead ahead, when the trailer is within the wind...
  13. Scary towing experience

    I tow an R-Pod 179 (~3500 lb loaded) with my '21 Lariat. Frankly, I would not want to tow it without my Curt 6000/600 WDH along with its companion friction anti-sway bar. Sans WDH might be able to handle the trailer by itself but who goes camping with an empty truck bed? In my case, the...
  14. Dealership adjusted my tire pressure.

    The door placard on my '21 Lariat SuperCrew with stock Bridgestone Dueller A/T 255/65-17 tires recommends 30 psi.
  15. How many other Iowegians are on here ?

    Decorah - the best little mountain town without a mountain.
  16. A nest under my hood...

    ...and extremely carcinogenic.
  17. A nest under my hood...

    I've heard of folks doing this in the desert Southwest to keep packrats out of their engine bays. Purportedly it's the additional ambient light from above that is the main deterrent. For my upcoming snowbird trip I'm thinking of using one of those tiny decorative strings of battery operated LED...
  18. Stupid question about tongue weight

    Don't forget the WDH is also transferring weight to the trailer axle(s) in addition to the front of the tow vehicle. It could be a factor for someone who has loaded their trailer with payload to the point of maxing out their axle rating.
