What are you guys towing?

[WxNerd2015]

Wow! This is exactly the vehicle I want to tow with a Ranger I plan to order. Gobi 2DR Jeep JK as well! And I also had caliper issues, mine were sticking at some point on 3/4 corners. Turned out mud was getting under the piston boots and was causing corrosion.

Yeah, definitely something you have to keep clean, but a good reason to get a trailer for it because it was never an issue for me while actually on the trail! Never found the intrusion issue on mine, but thankfully, the last 5000 miles on the Jeep have been good! I just recently put a 600 mile trip on the Ranger up to Drummond Island and back towing the Jeep at the Ranger did great! Towing expressway speeds about 80% of the time (70-75 MPH) and 2 lane road (55 MPH) the rest of the time, the Ranger averaged 12-13 MPG, and my buddies 3.5 EB F-150 only averaged 10 MPG towing his ZJ! Was very interesting to see! Quite the amazing truck!

Looks like a great time! I'm more and more impressed by all the midsize trucks and especially the Ranger's towing power everytime I look. Drummond was where all my brake issues started haha. That Drummond mud gets everywhere and into everything. It's been two years, and I think there still some mud from the tank slappers inside the frame rails.

Completely agree! The towing of that Ranger definitely punches way above class, and I put a lot of towing miles on mine! For most people nowadays, these Rangers really are the way to go! And as for Drummond mud...yeah...that sticks with you forever! Hahaha! Great looking Jeep! I'll see ya out on the trails sometime!

I like those tow mirrors! I'm curious how they look from the front. Looks like a nice setup and a good trip.

Go to ClearView Mirrors web site. Follow prompts to Ford Ranger....lots of pics from every angle.
Pricey, but if you tow an 8 foot wide travel trailer, well worth it.

In the UP last weekend with the snow (in the air but didn't stick, at the time) to enjoy the amazing Fall colors with the teardrop.
Did a small section of the 7 Mile Plane Crash overland trail on our way home, which had some amazing views from the three old railroad trestles.

Which section of the 7 Hour Plane Crash has the railroad trestles? Interested in either doing the whole thing or parts of it next fall

These are on the Bill Nicholls Trail, a few miles outside of Mass City, over the Firesteel River.
