You're not wrong that there are many cases where we can't exactly buy American made anymore. I won't argue that fact. But I can promise you there's other things that are going to be much higher quality than something made in China. Perhaps something that's made in Japan or better yet Europe...

Some of the aftermarket key fobs are good. That said if you have the push button I would recommend getting a new key from Ford. If you have the type ignition then aftermarket should be fine

Due to the fact they are designed around OffRoad Travel I would look at Old Man EMU BP-51'S or Dobinsons. Both designed and made in Australia and don't require a rebuild in 10,000 miles simply by driving OffRoad.

Not entirely, but as you can see it hasn't gotten much attention of those who would be interested for who knows what reason

I have ridden in many trucks. Regardless of the truck and what's suspension it has on it you're going to feel every bump of the road. I have noticed different shocks will act differently to where it might be a little bit better with one shock over another. That includes the third gen F-150...

Welcome to owning a truck. You're going to feel every single bump in the road whether you like it or not

If it makes you feel better, I have not heard of a single fatality related to a Australian made fuel tank meant for extra range. If it was an issue you would hear about it

You just challenged the wrong guy

As others have stated the short drives definitely do not help. That said if you want to get a battery maintainer I would highly recommend going with battery tender. They have two different versions. A small one does 3/4 of an amp and the big one does about 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 amps. It will...

Yeah but when you have a bigger tank it makes it easier to where you don't have to stop as often for gas alone especially when gas prices seem ridiculous between stops

If you're really concerned about a trailer causing your vehicle to not last as long then perhaps you should never be towing in the first place. When manufacturers design vehicles with a maximum tow rating in mind especially when it comes to trucks and SUVs they know the trailer will not cause an...

Long Range Automotive in Idaho can help fix that

Same thing applies for any vehicle out in the markets. Hence why I state that as long as you are towing within the safe rated manufacturer towing specifications chances are you should be fine.

When you change the tow vehicle you change the trailer as well. I don't care what size travel trailer you have as it's going to act completely different than a utility trailer. In reality you compare to Ugo to a Ferrari

The fact that insurance will not pay and leave you stranded if you are towing more than the Safe Rated Limit is another thing to consider. I don't care if one things it is safe to tow more than the Maximum Rated Capacity for any vehicle. If it is Rated for a Maximum Limit then it should not be...

I'm curious as to why you decided to change the Tow Vehicle in your little Scenario? All you have to do is change the trailer in the Scenario. Also how was the guy at U-Haul correct with what he told me? Do you think the people at U-Haul have way more knowledge and training than the Engineers...

Honestly I have lost count on how many threads we have when it comes to people asking the question. I even remember one person here trying to state not to tow more than half the rated capacity due to a bad experience(or better yet many bad experiences) with a Ford AeroStar van. Also U-Haul...

Not going to lie, even a setup like that would worry me. But then again I am sure that there are plenty of safe steps to take in order to operate one of those

Ummm...... Did you read my initial post? This is about a trailer that would be well within limits when loaded that is still close to the max. Not about a empty trailer that weighs more that the max capacity empty. As @Grumpaw stated above, if you are not comfortable towing that much that is ok...

As the title states, WHY?! Why is it when people get ready to get a camper trailer that is well within the Towing Specifications of their Rangers(or other vehicle) that they have to get a second opinion from someone that thinks you shouldn't go more than half the Towing Capacity or better yet...
