Ford F**king Ranger Doing Truck Things! Post Yours...

[Lion77]

hopefully it didn't push the head gasket out and is leaking. we bought our oldest son one of those, a 2016, i think, and after 3 months his blew the headgasket and went into limp mode. turns out hyundai has some type of engine recall on those so if you call and talk to someone at hyundai, not the dealership, they might repair it for you guys under the recall, if its the head gasket. ours did but we already had set up to get another vehicle so we sold it back to the dealership once it was repaired and got a jeep cherokee for him

No, this appears to be due to a combination of piston ring and rod bearing wear. The rings are prone to wear on these, as they wear, oil consumption goes through the roof and most people don't keep up with re-fill, so they run it with low oil that rapidly accelerates rod bearing wear.

Just not a good choice in cars period, but he "wanted to buy it himself"...

Off Road

Planting grass this past spring, Ranger hauling the grass seed.

Hauling tractor tires, seed, and fertilizer.

Hauling tractor tires to get mounted at the tire shop.

Just a little squat.

Lets revive this thread
I hauled some scrap iron and a little tractor on an very slippery road

Bought a Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon Deluxe ATV and drove it home in the bed of my 24' RR.

I grew up with ATV's, Snowmobiles, big off-road go-carts, 4x4 SUV's and hot-rodded tractors lol, but in 22 years I never got my own ATV until now! Wanted something quality that I can just do normal maintenance and not have to worry about replacing drive belts or breaking down on a trail etc.

Although putting that much weight on the tailgate of the Raptor made me nervous (the Honda FourTrax is 750lbs, i'm 220lbs....tailgates are rated for about 500...) going to get a small utility trailer soon.

I know people haul ATV's in truck beds all the time and unless it's older truck with a lot of wear on the steel straps, I've not really heard of them breaking, but a small utility trailer is definitely the safer better route after backing it down the ramps that high up, it's also the safer way to go. Still, the little 5ft bed got it done!

Yep, only the 24+ Ranger can do that task, where mid size trucks are concerned.

Most full size quads need that 4ft between the wheel wells, only the Ranger offers.

I use to haul quads in the beds of my trucks all the time.

I used a tie down device called the Louisiana guard dog and a long tru fold ramp.
Load Secure and Lock in your ramps and the quad in seconds .

La guard dog.

I had to pull an RV into Ford dealership for service! Wasn’t far, but got job done none the less without breaking a sweat! Poor tow strap was the only thing I had to pull it but it held up!

As I'm shopping for a travel trailer, and setting up rentals to try some out, I'd love to hear the particulars about this set up. What hitch is that? Have you gone to a cat scale with this setup? What model trailer is that?

I staged that photo just to post it.
2014 Fox Mountain 235RLS
It's been to Alaska and twice to Mexico.
The trailer weighs almost 8000 lbs empty. Towing weight loaded for camping is right at 10,000 lbs. Tongue weight approx 2000 lbs. Hitch is a Husky, and it's mounted to frame mounts.... In my diesel F350...

I can't believe no one has called shenanigans on that photo!
It would destroy the RR to try to tow that...

Here it is for real...
