  1. Illinois Front Hitch

    @Heavy Duty, I am interested. Got any left?
  2. Target towing weight

    According to my owners manual, the bumper hitch limit is 3,500 lbs with trailer brakes. Otherwise 1,650lbs. 7,500lbs is unlocked with the heavier trailer hitch + trailer brakes.
  3. Target towing weight

    I think some of the confusion is from the phrasing of my question, my apologies . I have no doubt the engineers at Ford came to this number carefully and backed my models and testing. Everyone's comments have been very helpful and I think the best way to approach a final number is to work...
  4. Target towing weight

    I've been trying to make heads and tails of all the existing threads to come to some conclusion. Your numbers are where I am starting at. Mostly giving the space for additional gear and human weight. @P. A. Schilke s solution is the only way to have confidence.
  5. Target towing weight

    Thanks for the no BS answer. I appreciate to hear the diligence that Ford put into determining these numbers! It sounds to me to work backwards. Stat with human weight, plus anything I expect in the cab. Then see what is left for the trailer respecting the tongue limits. Thanks
  6. Target towing weight

    Just as a point of context. I have a family of four and we would like to purchase a small travel trailer. I am trying to figure out the right size.
  7. Target towing weight

    I know with the tow package the truck is rated up to 7500 lbs, but what is your opinion of a safe target weight? I've read no more then 70% to 80% for safety reasons but just curious what others have experienced. I came across this post and just wanted to hear some thoughts...

    Not much more to add, 2020 Lariat model with Tow package and FX4. Minus a bed spray and tonneau cover, the truck is stock. Already got the tailgate damper! :cool:

    Max 4500lbs is the magic dry weight I have been trying to stay under. I like the bunkhouse floor plans with the Murphy beds.

    Yes, we are big fans of getting outside. My desk job burns me out every week.

    Oh no, maybe joining this forum was a mistake....

    Yes, there is a lot of good information. Honestly as a person new to towing it is enough to make your head spin.

    HI Everyone and thanks for the approval to join the forum. I recently (few weeks now) just picked up a 2020 Ranger Lariat, after upgrading from a 2011 Mazdaspeed3. I swear the engine in the Ranger is very similar to the one in the speed, just a bit more modern and can handle regular instead of...
