I plan on using my Ranger to tow my utility trailer and ATV during the summer, which combined weigh in at around 1800-1850 pounds. I do not have brakes on my trailer, and after reading the lengthy threads on Ford deciding not to install a controller with the towing package, I'm not sure if I will install one right away. The manual states that the towing limit without trailer brakes is 1650 pounds. I'm sure this limit was set a wee bit low to protect any liability for Ford. I'm wondering what would be considered safe in the towing community using standard accepted formulas based on vehicle and trailer weights? And yes, I'm aware I am responsible for towing anything outside the manufacturers limits.
