Almost 1 year Kristina’s Wildtrak

[Kristina]

In some days there will be 1 year of this adventure with my FFR. It’s been fun and bumpy 30 000 kilometers, both, mostly fun and learning.
As it’s been a constant struggle with lack of room in the bed, I finally registered myself back to drivers school. After some trainings and 4 exams I’ll be finally legally allowed to tow enough weight as it finally really makes sense to connect something to my Ranger ?
Just a regular driver license limits my tow weight so much at the moment because the truck itself weights too much. Heavier pick up trucks over 3500 kg register mass need truck driver license not the one to drive cars with. I need an additional license category to tow bigger trailers and boats to make this Ranger fully work.
30 000 km on her and the engine has broken in very well, runs good.
Some of you may remember when I joined this forum - I had literally no idea what to do, how to really use it or what I’ve bought. I probably must be the most stupid beginner Ranger owner in the history. One year later I’m ready to tow a boat if needed, but it probably drops few times during the process ?
Baby truck times are over!

Happy Wildtrak Anniversary Kristina. Interesting learning about driving rules in other countries and nice to hear you upgraded your license category.

Many of us have learned from this forum and it has been nice having you as a part of it.

Glad you're enjoying your Ranger. It's nice to see others like yourself contributing here and your Wildtrak and how they perform around the world.

I finally registered myself back to drivers school.

?There's a couple members here who could benefit from going back to drivers school. Actually parking school but taking the whole course would probably be best for them.???

Happy Rangerversary, Kristina. You are a very welcome member on this forum. I enjoy seeing how owners from other countries use their trucks. congratulations on the upgraded license.

I honestly think that we should have more levels of license (and in general take driving training more seriously) in the US than we do.

Watching the average person drive pretty much anywhere is great evidence for this.

So they didn’t find any French fries or skittles under the seat.. great job!!

Remember when backing a trailer steer from the bottom of the steering wheel. It really does help with orientation..

Happy 1-year Anniversary, Kristina!

Just towed my boat 550 miles round trip. You'll be glad of that license one day.

Happy anniversary Kristina - I always enjoy reading your content and learning about EU Rangers!

I'm sure your aware here in the US you do not need a special license for private towing or driving any type of large vehicle. I could, and have jumped right into the drivers seat of a 45 foot long desiel pusher RV and only had to have a regular license. Same goes for an extended dually pick up towing a 40 foot long 5th wheel rv.
But, as posted above, I have seen/know several who I would not trust to tow a 6 foot long utility trailer.
I'll add to other posts...your addition to the forum is a pleasant and welcome change....glad too see you here.
