A picture is worth a thousand words.......
Judging from the decal on his door, he got the camper for free in exchange for coverage on his YouTube channel. One of these people who turned their passion into a business.
I removed that whole panel that's on the inside of the tailgate, sprayed lots of Fluid Film (it doesn't evaporate like WD-40.), on all the moving parts of the latch mechanism and the latches themselves.
Things get out of shape too if you slam the tailgate, just lightly 'click it closed'...
I can't say my Rangers sags...but I can definitely say I feel the difference in acceleration between having an empty tank of gas and a full one. So I wouldn't imagine it takes much weight to see the difference in the headlight beam.
I changed the tow vehicle to an F-250 to better paint the picture for you, that the stronger the vehicle, the less impact all those variables have while you're towing.
I explained why the guy at UHaul was correct. They rent trailers to people who show up to rent a trailer thinking their...
Why?
There's soooo many factors involved with trailers, that a person can't comprehend them all.
For example....A strong crosswind blowing against a 3000 lb 40' camper being towed by Ranger is vastly different than the same wind blowing against 1000lb empty 20' utility trailer being towed with...
I used to work in the radio broadcasting industry. Everyone can claim they the have the "number 1' anything. But they're not telling you that they're only number with males, or number one with females, or number one with people 28-35 years old, or number one with 45-55 year old's etc.
It's ALL...
You're not a traitor at all. It's a lesson learned. Our hearts want one vehicle but our brains soon realize it can't do what it need it to, even though we added parts.
I learned that lesson years ago when my brother bought a used Unimog for $8k....and he totally embarrassed every member of the...
I don't know all the electrical glitches you had with the Lariat, but I would have gotten an XL with a rear locker. Probably 50% (+/-) less electrical things to worry about.
Especially after seeing that guy on Youtube who paid about $7000 for new tall lights and wiring when water ruined his...
Any reputable tire person would do this LONG before double or triple stacking weights!! This is the second step in diagnosing any bad balance problem, right after visually inspecting the tire.
I bought my '19 Ranger in '22 with 20k on it. The first week of ownership I changed both diffs and transfer case fluids. All three were grey with metal dust and the magnets could no longer collect any more. So it no gimmick.
I won't bore with stories about similar happenings with other...
A close friend of mine has one ordered and he's looking forward to me driving it in some off road situations. He's a city slicker and doesn't even know where to find a gravel road let alone a mud puddle. (I'm not bashing him, he's fully aware of his "city upbringing" lol)
I'm assuming it'll...
I'm in New Brunswick Canada. I switch all my driveline fluids to Amsoil, it doesn't thicken up in the cold. All my vehicles would start hard and drive sluggish due to the thick driveline fluids. After the changeover they start and drive like its July. I don't even use my block heater anymore...
