  1. Can I safely tow this travel trailer?

    I would stay in 20 foot range with a Ranger. RV's are many things to different people on how they camp. I like to use mine as a weekend get away and for long road trips. Bigger is not always better. I spent three years researching our next camper, we were up grading from a pop-up. We wanted...

  3. Trailer Camping - What are you towing off road and do you like it?

    I have a Jayco 145RB I took it from Maryland to Yellowstone September 2020. Its not had it axel flipped and off road tires put on but going into the Shoshone National Forest Lily Lake it went fine just was aware of the drain. There are a lot of off road type campers a lot are being set up with...
  4. Would you buy a PowerBoost Ranger?

    Power boost seems neat but having a stand alone inverter generator is my choice for the cost if I wanted a Hybrid I would have gotten a Prius. I like the idea its just not for me and the way I camp and work.
  5. 5th Wheel Bed Rails / Gooseneck solution

    WpgLariat, This is brand new from Jayco. It is supposed to be boondock ready. Josh From Haylett RV on YouTube did the a video on the prototype 166FBS I think the other models are still getting the final touch before the data is released but I think you can base of the 166...
  6. 5th Wheel Bed Rails / Gooseneck solution

    WpgLariat. I love camping I was thinking about the Scamp 19 myself. I love the idea of a fifth wheel for a lot of the reasons you do.

  8. Bug out box

    Totes and containers have their place and are very useful I still prefer having a backpack with my stuff in it that way if you are having a significant emotional event say like" OH dear the truck is on Fire" you can reach in and grab this bag and your life will suck a lot less then if you have...

  11. Get home bag?

    GHB, BOB's all serve to prepare you for when you are having a SHTF or as I say When the Fecal matter hits the rotating cooling device kind of day. I have carried one since I started driving. I developed mine over the years I made one for my wife for here car I have made them for friends. You...
  12. SuperCab Rangers are Rare Here, How About Your Location?

    In the Baltimore area I've only seen a few SCREW's and one SCAB. The dealers seam to stock SCREW's the one SCAB was a bed delete, white, another dealer had only SCREW's, and a third had a XLT SCAB in blue the rest were...... you guessed it SCREW's
  13. Next Gen Ranger: Ford Applies For Pickup Removable Roof Patent

    Ranger drawing kind of looks like Chevy invited Dodge over for Netflix and adult beverages and this was a result. The hood looks like Dodge and the wheel wells look like the flat top GM styling
  14. Can't Check Air Pressure In Spare Tire?

    Unless it is a catastrophic blow out I carry a plug kit and a decent 12volt compressor I can have my tire plugged before I can change it out. I take my spare down once a year a check it and the winch to make sure everything is ok. I borrowed a vehicle one time that wasn't up to par and had to...
  15. Where is the advertisement?

    I think Ford is trying to sell the Ranger as a first time buyer's fun truck to haul your toys. I believe that they are guarding their F150 sales very carefully

    Thanks, I thought the model years started around September - October.
  17. Bush Winch?

    Nope very limited use item. Its ok on straight line pulls getting through a mud hole. If you are sliding into trees or rocks then you need to pull yourself away from that obstacle. The ropes have to be anchored straight ahead from each wheel you don't get a lot of defection and they are only...

  19. Trip Report: 1800 Miles With a Camper

    Nice review I am really glad you posted it. I have a Jayco 145rb but after I get my new Ranger I want to get a travel trailer right about this size. I felt that a 17-19 camper would be the sweet spot for the Ranger your review kind of confirmed it. How was down hill holding or did you need to...
  20. Super cab rear seat storage upgrade

    I was curious what a Leantu Camper was, I looked it up they are neat but my butt isn't climbing up a ladder and then down in the middle of the night to go find a tree. We got a Jayco 145rb this year for 10K vs 7K for a tent on a box. Not sure what kinda wheeling you plan on doing there's a good...
