2019 ford ranger burned to the groud during flat towing

Wow.. Sorry for that.. Usually these seem to be from a brake locking but that pic looks internal.... Never scene one burn down like that.... Glad nobody was hurt.. Scary....

Camping sucks but you’re okay in a Super 8?
That’s like saying camo is for losers, I only wear Ed Hardy.

This is more my speed….

This is more my speed….

For the first time, this summer I walked out of a motel room after 60 seconds. My girlfriend was shocked. I just couldn’t. Never got my money back. That was probably the best $99.00 I ever lost. Maybe going soft in my old age. I’d rather sleep in my truck than some of these places.

Planning to do some backpacking and tent camping this summer. Actually debating what to buy first - new titanium cookware and utensils, or a bed rack for the truck.
I know what people here would say…

Do you recognize that one?

Does it spin the odometer up if your towing in neutral?

NO, I just go by both odometers when figuring time to check or change brake pads and do a diff oil change. The Ranger tows very well, lighter than a Jeep or a Bronco.

Pretty sure responders forward the report to NHTSA, but they certainly would welcome, maybe request, the victim's account.

Most, but not all, fire departments file their reports, including the results of their investigation, model numbers, serial numbers, VIN, etc, to the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). This data is used to help determine recalls and such. I have thirty years in the fire service, and have never sent a vehicle fire report anywhere else. Perhaps NHTSA has access, or once enough data is received to indicate a problem it gets forwarded on.
