  1. Hitch Weight and Payload

    we recently bought a used trailer. it is apx 3400 lbs dry weight. there are lots of nice trailers out there that the ranger can tow easily....you just need to set your expectations properly....ranger is a capable truck but it isn't an F350
  2. Hitch Weight and Payload

    i really hope that was a joke.
  3. Well I did it…

    lovely thing to see on your way to work! i live in ottawa and i see an occasional ranger around but not often. i only saw 1 2024 on the road yet. i have been looking for them! i grew up on the east coast in newfoundland...when i go there for a visit i see rangers everywhere so i guess it...
  4. Well I did it…

    had to reply to this post and say i agree. if you don't go looking for a ranger you are never going to find it. there is no advertising, not part of the employee pricing held this year, etc. it is almost like they don't want to sell rangers. i almost believe that because i think they want...
  5. Ford trailer brake controller install question

    i installed a TBC lately so hopefully i can be of some help....i have little experience with working on cars though. i broke my connectors for the rear brake light as most people do. i just bought these things: WAGO 221-2411 Wire Connectors, Inline Splicing Connectors, Electrical Connectors...
  6. Dealer said it can’t be done?

    HI, I recently (august 2024) put the TBC in my 2020 Ranger Lariat with the tow package. I was quite confused when ordering my TBC as well. Pay attention to the model years...i believe there are 2 TBCs with the exact same part number..but some will say model year 2019-2022 (this is the one you...
  7. Finally completed Redarc Tow Pro Liberty brake controller

    i like this spot but i installed mine under the steering wheel where u pull the fuse panel cover off. reason being we were recently on a long trip and we would drop our phones into the storage in front of the drive mode selector shown...once or twice our phones hit a button by accident (one...
  8. 7 pin trailer connector

    thank you for the test procedure. i did it this morning and everything is working as it should. i think the pins aren't correct in the instructions though...at first i couldn't get the bulb to light....but then i saw a different 7 pin diagram where the trailer brakes and ground are on opposite...
  9. 7 pin trailer connector

    you make very good points! we recently took a pretty long trip without towing anything. we drove from ontario to my home in newfoundland. we needed 2 8 hour driving days, a 16 hour long ferry ride and finally a short 1.5 hour drive once on the island. we did manage a couple pretty long stints...
  10. 7 pin trailer connector

    big thank you!
  11. 7 pin trailer connector

    range and frequency of stops aren't really a big deal for me....i usually need a bathroom break every 1.5-2 hours :)
  12. 7 pin trailer connector

    thank you for the advice.,...yes will leave any form of money at home. our plan is to rent a couple times before we commit to buying but i hear you on the sales people and we could get tempted by a great "deal" if not careful. we kind of "accidently" bought a house by just going around looking...
  13. 7 pin trailer connector

    the one little bit of doubt i have left is that at the end of the installation instructions they say to connect a trailer light tester and change the modes, etc....that is why i went and bought that tester. but i will listen to all your great advice and just go and ask a dealer if they will let...
  14. 7 pin trailer connector

    wow...you guys have provided such good information and such a relief to me! i spent 2 days getting that TBC installed (3 hours just to find the wires under the dash...why don't the instructions say just look for blue tape) and then i was worried i had some other issue in my ranger (that i still...
  15. 7 pin trailer connector

    Hi, I haven't worked on cars much so forgive me if i am using wrong terms. I also searched the threads for the issue i am having and saw some discussions about it but they didn't really come to any conclusion so i figured i should start a new thread and get most up to date information. most...
  16. Ford licensed TBC Install Instructions

    old post but for anyone in the future...i spent 2 hours looking for those wires then i saw someone mention blue tape in some post. i wish that was mentioned in instructions,. looks for blue tape...the wires are bundled in there.
  17. Tow package and Trailer brake controller install

    old thread sorry to bump it. i am about to install the ford trailer brake controller in my 2020 ranger. i would like to put the brake control knob near the shifter where you put it but we were recently on a long trip and moving stuff like phones around we accidently hit some of the...
  18. Ford licensed TBC Install Instructions

    wish you weren't so far away because i would gladly buy it from you! i am in canada and it seems a little hard to find one that ships from canada. it seems to me that there are 2 kits with the same part number...one kit says for 2022-2023 model years and other is for 2019-2021....so i am...
  19. Another Close Call

    not just Illinois...it happens everywhere, people seem to believe they can only change a lane in front of you...never behind. i find it much easier to just let off the gas and go in behind a car versus hitting the gas to get in front of someone, driving is not a race!
  20. Tire recommendations

    so far i am very happy with the tires. i haven't driven a lot since i had them installed. they are very quiet and smooth on the road. the same or better than the OEM hankooks. i heard people mention they had vibration at high speeds and i tried getting up to about 75 mph and i didn't have any...
