That's not true. Sure an AGM is not as fast as a lithium, but it can handle higher charge/discharge currents than a comparable flooded lead-acid battery.
Also, the charger the OP is looking at is only 4A... the alternator in the Ranger can charge the battery upwards of 80A, so I don't think...
Looks like you mentioned one of my older posts, and yeah in general, a ground is a ground, I'd just make sure you are downstream (chassis side) of that BMS sensor so the ECU can sense and learn proper battery SOC. Doesn't matter if it's right at the sensor, on the side of the fender, or hell, a...
I grew up in the Black Hills. Fished that pond in Spearfish Canyon more times than I could count, and took my collection of Ford Escapes on enough fire trails to embarrass the average Jeep owner ? (amazed I didn't destroy them any more than I did lol) Sure do miss living out there!
Here's my...
As far as the actual EPA label goes, the base Ranger is a "2-Cycle" EPA label - tested on the traditional EPA City (FTP) and Highway drive cycles, which are not very stressful on a vehicle.

Haha it's been long enough now that I'll have to go and look to remember what I did! :LOL: I'm pretty sure I just grounded to chassis. There should be a bolt somewhere behind the taillight I used. I'll pop the tail light out this evening and confirm.
I live/work in metro-Detroit. I'm about 2 miles from Ford's Rawsonville parts plant. They filled the entire plant parking lot with F150s about a week ago (I'd guess ~1500 trucks). Saw some people out working on the vehicles yesterday, so hopefully that's a sign some of them will slowly start...
Michigan side of Lake Erie...the picture does have a mild edit to help with the washed out sky (so the water color hasn't been altered), but when the water isn't muddy (which it is a lot during the spring with rain and run-off) it does have a pretty blueish-green tint to it, although it's never...
My boat is probably 4,000lbs with a full tank of fuel. Ranger handles it quite well and I have no issues or concerns for relatively local towing. Not sure I'd want to pull this across the country, but no doubt the Ranger is capable of it if I needed it to.
Okay, so I have a box together, dimensions are 54x25x9 inches. Weighs about 30lbs. Length and width are as small as I can get without cutting tubes or creasing the top, which obviously defeats the point Weights about 30lbs.
Alan, I'll send you a PM with shipping quote.
I would say it's right on par with a soft tonneau cover. It's surprisingly resistant to water intrusion, but obviously isn't perfectly sealed. It's been through some pretty serious rain and snow and haven't had an issue with water or snow getting in or getting anything wet. Really the only time...
Skipped work yesterday and chased some walleye around Lake Erie for a few hours. The Ranger had to drag my other Ranger out of the garage and out to the lake.
I honestly can't say that I noticed any increase in wind noise with topper installed. It seems to tuck in behind the cab well enough to not really catch a lot of air.
Oh yeah definitely. It weighs maybe 20lbs all together with the canvas and the frame. When it's folded, it's just 2 pins you have to remove and the whole thing lifts out. Pretty easy to do by yourself.
That being said, it is pretty rigid and sturdy when it's assembled on the truck. Handles...
The pic with the tree in the bed is about the best I have (already pulled the topper off). Softoppers website has some decent pics too.
