Hello,
I am prepping for our first weekend towing our trailer with our Ranger Tremor. This week I will be hooking up a Scan Gauge ii to see normal temps but what do you guys get when towing a travel trailer? I will be towing a Geo pro 19BH/19ft 4200lbs (loaded) travel trailer in the NV/AZ area so temps will be about 100F. I have just crossed the 1000mile mark which the manual says to do before towing, granted I wish I had more miles on it before this trip.
Anyways, do you guys find that the stock setup cools the trans well in these temps? What is the peak temps you guys get? Our Honda Pilot seemed to stay under 200F with the factory external cooler and only would break 200F sometimes when climbing. Reading post in here, seems like the Ranger trans will run warmer?
What is the max temp I should consider pulling over for a break? I assume by the time the light comes on it has already been too hot?
Google was hard to get info since it was mostly F150 post it would pull up and some of them had an external cooler with the max tow package? Searched this forum but the info was not exactly what I was looking for.
Any info would be appreciated. Trying to get off on the right foot with this truck and towing.
Thanks
