Almost 80, there I said it. Drove GMC, and imports until I was over 50 when I bought a 93 F-150, Now I’m loving my RANGER but when I don’t need to tow anymore I will probably be back to a smaller car. Then again the maverick is looking pretty good for an old grumpy guy to get around town in.
I tow a 20 ft TT that is about 3500 lbs all loaded up and ready to go. I use to tow this trailer with a shorter wheel base SUV that had a max tow capacity of 4500 lbs and it was never a real comfortable tow. Now with the Ranger I am close to that sweet spot of not knowing it’s back there. I...
I was hit by a Golf Cart this morning, It did some damage to the black plastic part of my rear bumper. Not a lot of damage and I have repaired it myself with some resin body filler and body putty. Looks pretty good but I can’t find a paint that matches. The one I used is too shinny. Any one...
I have a modified and lightened Winnebago Mini Drop that I have weighed at 3200 lbs with a tongue weight of 380 lbs loaded up and ready to go. Was towing with an SUV with a 4400 lb tow and 400 lb tongue capacity. While it towed just fine it always felt like I was on the edge, especially in...
I tow a 3200 lb trailer with a tongue weight of about 350 with another 100 lbs in the rear of the bed. It tows great so I don’t think you are heavy in that area. My guess is it’s just the light trailer doing a lot of bouncing which is being transmitted to the truck. Solutions, I have none.
When it comes to cars I’m a German or European kind of guy as they just seem to feel right when I get behind the wheel. Have owned Ford, GMC, Dodge, and Nisan trucks. So no real brand loyalty. My Ranger is probably my last gas powered vehicle and so far I love it....well except for that...
If I didn’t have to tow a travel trailer I would have one in a minute. Can’t understand why it took so long to get back to making a nice compact pickup.
If Nissan would have just gotten the new frontier to market about 4 months earlier I would be driving it now. Had to have a truck and couldn’t wait so I bought an almost new 19 Ranger. Love the Ranger but I must admit that I looked at your pictures with more than a little envy.
I like it but can’t justify putting that kind of $$$ into mine. It would be nice not to have the same grey truck as everyone else in the parking lots.
