  1. What are you guys towing?

    Completely agree! The towing of that Ranger definitely punches way above class, and I put a lot of towing miles on mine! For most people nowadays, these Rangers really are the way to go! And as for Drummond mud...yeah...that sticks with you forever! Hahaha! Great looking Jeep! I'll see ya out on...
  2. WxNerd2015's Hot Pepper Red FX4

    Well, this will be my last update on the thread for my Ranger, but I will keep an eye if anyone does have any questions! I turned my Ranger in in August and am now in an F-150. From May through August my Ranger spent 75% of it's time at the dealer with multiple repair attempts on the...
  3. What are you guys towing?

    Yeah, definitely something you have to keep clean, but a good reason to get a trailer for it because it was never an issue for me while actually on the trail! Never found the intrusion issue on mine, but thankfully, the last 5000 miles on the Jeep have been good! I just recently put a 600 mile...
  4. What are you guys towing?

    Yes, agreed, I didn't say the same, just similar. And by similar, I meant in appearance and how the end user interacts. That is why mine is not the Ford approved controller, as it does not have the extra module. Mine was purchased and installed before that existed from Ford. The one today is...
  5. What are you guys towing?

    No, I got my controller straight from Redarc, but it was before Ford released there approved controller. It is very similar to the updated Redarc, which is then rebranded by Ford as the "factory" controller, but half the cost! Works great! Mounted in the Lightforce switch panel between the 12V...

    And I have definitely been using the truck for towing! Hauling my Jeep, pallets, and even a few new toys I picked up recently of a jon boat and a 1948 Ford 8N! I still can't believe how well this midsized truck tows!
  7. WxNerd2015's Hot Pepper Red FX4

    Been missing for a little while as I now have a little one at home (whose already 4 months old now!) and just been loving spending time with him! But truck is still going strong and passed the 40k mark in mileage now! Though, a few issues to report on lately and not sure of any solution...
  8. What are you guys towing?

    Been putting in a bunch of towing over the last 6 months! Towing the Jeep on my flatbed, a bunch of loads of 60+ pallets, and picked up a few new toys recently too! A jon boat and a Ford 8N! Man this truck keeps impressing me on how well it tows! but I am definitely happy to have the brake...
  9. Black Appearance Package ("Black Pack") Thread

    My mom just picked up her new BAP '21 Ranger XLT FX4 yesterday! She has now joined the Ranger club too! I'll be catching up with her later today, so I'll grab some more pics later, but a clean looking truck for sure!

    My mom just picked up her new BAP '21 Ranger XLT FX4! She has now joined the Ranger club too!
  11. What are you guys towing?

    Yes, using a B&W Tow and stow 5 1/2" drop hitch. Nothing special on the setup. It definitely tows better with some more weight and everything is loaded level, as with any vehicle towing. With the wrong bump spacing in the road, every once in a while, I will feel what you might describe as a jolt...
  12. What are you guys towing?

    Well, the Jeep is still giving me brake issues! Had both front calipers lock up on me while driving for the third time...guess that's part of why I got a trailer! Anyways, had to go get the Jeep, so thank goodness for the Ranger! Man does this impress me time and time again! trailer dry is about...
  13. What are you other toys?

    My 2011 Wrangler, my John Deere S120, and my MMT Equopment Trailer!

    Some pics from our recent Labor Day trip to the Smoky Mountains! Man has this Ranger taken us on some great adventures and still many more to go!
  15. WxNerd2015's Hot Pepper Red FX4

    Haven't done a lot to the Ranger lately, but it definitely has been putting in the work! Almost up to 35000 miles now, but she's still going good! 5000+ miles of towing, another recently 1500 mile trip, and doing a good bit of truck work! Still so happy to have this truck! Did just get some new...
  16. Report your MPG

    Just got back a few weeks ago from a 1500 mile trip to the Smoky Mountains! Drove around 400 miles while there in the mountains and the rest was highway mileage back up to Michigan! Managed 21.6 MPG according to the trip computer and my actual calculations were about 21.3-21.5 MPG, so quite...
  17. Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

    Park next to a bunch of Smoky Mountains, a few signs, and a covered bridge!
  18. HOT PEPPER RED Ranger Club Thread

    Random Pic drops from the last few months! Towing setups, all cleaned up, and pics from my recent Smoky Mountains trip! Even passed 30000 miles and pushing very close to 35000 as of today! Man do I still love this color and the truck as a whole! My wife just kept laughing at my on our Smoky...
  19. Nollie's Reggie Build

    Well, for me, my stinger CB antenna definitely has a much better SWR than my short antenna, as the ideal CB length is 102", but I was able to get my JBC800 (8" antenna) down to about a 2.0 SWR reading at 1 OR 40, and then the rest settled about 1.4-1.8 on the SWR readings. I could not bring both...
  20. What are you guys towing?
