Submarining and flight are still proving to be difficult. Suggestions on what I'm doing wrong much appreciated.

First-time towing a travel trailer (w/ a Ranger or otherwise). Here's my experience: Travel Trailer: 2021 Wolf Pup 16fq; 21’6” (hitch to bumper); 84" wide; 3,031lbs empty; ~500lbs cargo; hitch weight 444lbs (dry); hitch weight loaded (~500lbs... assuming 10% transfer of loaded weight). Ranger...

Yeah. I didn't think so. Plus, I find that having a professional install things I have no idea how to do relieves me of being yelled at by significant other for messing something up haha!

No. I had the dealer install it. I'm probably a little more cautious than I have to be, but I usually stay away from making any repairs or modifications to wiring, structural stuff, etc. myself until the warranty expires to avoid headaches on the backend in case there's a fight about coverage...

I went with the OEM option. From everything I've read, it's the TowPro Elite model by Redarc. But, unlike going with it directly from Redarc, the Ford OEM version operates with the truck's emergency braking system which isn't the case if you purchase it aftermarket (i.e. not from Ford). I...

21.1 mpg at ~10,700 miles and just about 1yr of ownership. Mostly city driving and I'm surrounded by stop signs/signal lights ~1.5 miles in all directions. Not great mileage, but it's a truck, so...

Which model is that? Our family is seriously considering either the 194bhs or the 208 bhs. Curious to know more about what it's been like towing your TT with the Ranger since it seems like we'll be in something very similar. Finally, what is your tongue weight when fully loaded for the trip?

That's great to hear! Our family is interested in a TT around the size of yours (maybe a foot or two smaller) and we're also interested in pairing it with the Anderson WDH. Glad to know it's a good combo.

Other than the gas mileage going down, how'd the truck handle while towing?

Same thing happens in our truck. Every. Time. haha. So often, in fact, that checking the passenger seat belt is now one of my "checklist" items before I start the truck and drive away. haha

Should this be a subgroup now? Boston Terrangers? ?

A worthy submission. That's why I qualified my statement and limited it to only those cars produced during my lifetime. HAHA!

Reminds me of the Chevy SSR... one of the ugliest vehicles I've been alive to see produced.

I've noticed something similar. It's almost always at the same intersection too, which is weird. When I start the truck and head out from where it's parked, I always come to the same intersection where I make a left turn. As I pull away from the stop and begin to turn left onto the street...

It's for the optional laser blasters in the X-Wing trim.

NICE! Curious, what's the available payload on the Tremor?

Same. I've had zero issue with this. My biggest "pet peeve" issues with my XLT are: (1) only driver's window is automatic; (2) no bezel around the ignition switch; (3) no adaptive cruise control (I had a 2017 CR-V that came with it at the mid-level trim). That's kind of it. At mid-level...

2000 Ford Ranger single cab XL Sport. Bought it myself and had a job in high school to make payments. Loved that truck.

I chose the Ranger for (in no particular order): (1) Aesthetics (I know, this is subjective); (2) Powertrain; (3) Towing capability; (4) Payload availability; (5) American; (6) Comfort inside (have you been inside a Tacoma???); (7) Nostalgia (my first vehicle was a Ranger in high school and I...

I'd say the purpose is aesthetics. Some folks like the look of a leveled truck.
