Have a '25 2.3 and no problems towing my 3,200 pound camper in Tow mode up or down grades. Ranger doesn't know it's back there.

Fish Creek at the South end of the St. Regis canoe area. Many of the campgrounds are closed now or closing for Winter in the next couple of weeks.

Love the Adirondacks...

On the way home from the Adirondacks on a rainy day today...

Towing my camper today the blind spot monitors work. Never did before when towing and always gave me a warning they were shut off while towing. Maybe a change after the last update?

Not a chance. Nothing like having a ticked off mechanic that is told to use off brand or used parts and doesn't get paid what he wants to fix your car.

Nice color combo. I need to get a set of black wheels for mine one of these days.

All these pictures make me miss our T@B but my wife was tired of banging her head on the door and wanted a bigger bathroom...

I have the Worksport AL4, no drain hoses required. It's sealed pretty well. The only time I get any water in is typically through the Ranger's rails and space on either side of the tailgate and then it's usually from a touchless car wash. Has to be a pretty heavy rain otherwise. I don't think...

Set up and adjusted the Yakima rack for the Ranger with the family boat and solo boat in prep for our next camping trip. Takes a little while to get it adjusted on another vehicle the first time. Same towers as the Maverick, just different clips.

Ford does that with every generation/model/trim now. They start out with lots of bells and whistles and every year remove a few. Happened with my '21 Bronco Sport, then with my '23 Maverick, now with the Rangers. '25 looks to be the peak. It's all downhill from there.

The mfg. dry weight and tongue weight are not what you go by. You need to weigh it fully loaded. Mfg. weight is with no water, battery, propane, or anything in the gray or black tanks unless specifically stated and your food and gear. Get that tongue to around 12% of the total weight and your...

The headrests were fixed and didn't tilt on my '23 Maverick XLT.

We carry canoes on the roof. Nice to be able to open the hood partway and have it stay. Can't do that with the prop rod. Had Redline on the Bronco Sport, then the Maverick, now the Ranger. No problems with any of them. Easy install and work great.

If you have the trailer set up properly you shouldn't need a weight Distribution hitch. It's the thing now to just cover a problem with the set up by adding a WDH. If you have too much squat, a camper that small is loaded wrong. Fix that first. Check with the camper manufacturer as a WDH can...
