I was at a dealer for another issue and inquired about a locking gas plug. The gal in parts tried to sell me one but I was hesitant because I’d not seen any discussion about it here. Glad I didn’t buy it because it would not have fit.
My concern is not gas theft, although I travel and overnight...
I thought about a flatbed trailer to haul the Raptor but that adds more weight for me to tow. My Class C motorhome is rated to tow 7500 pounds and the Raptor weighs around 5800. I don't want to add more if I can avoid it. Also, my HOA does not allow us to store RVs and trailers at our homes so I...
I just sold my 2019 Ram 2500 diesel. Drove it to 147k miles, the transmission failed and I decided it was time to downsize before something else major happened. The people at my local dealer were all nice enough, and I was treated well but OMG soooo many problem vehicles in the lot waiting for...
My dealer, Galpin Ford in Van Nuys, Calif., texted me this week to say the parts are in and would I call to make an appointment-? I did so, and am scheduled for the first week in November. Supposedly the work takes only two hours. (Two hours is half the time it’ll take me to drive to Van Nuys...
The invoice I got for the work to set up my towing by ear wasn’t really clear about whether a charge line was installed. Today I went back and talked to the service rep — YES, a charge line was installed, so I do not need to worry about the battery going dead. That makes me feel much better! Whew!
I am concerned that if I hit the remote start while the Ranger is hooked up in flat tow mode, even while stopped, doing that may cause the truck to drop out of flat tow mode - so I'll have to go through the initiation steps again (which are extremely complex)...
Thank you for the tip. This is getting expensive. The flat tow stuff cost $3k alread.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Something else for me to worry about before my next tow...
I must consider that. At the same time, I don’t want to charge the battery while towing in a way that would screw up the electronics of the vehicle since everything is so complex. Thanks.
I recently bought a 2025 Ranger Raptor (which is what brings me to this forum!).
I specifically bought the Raptor because it allows flat towing. I have a class C motorhome and have the truck set up to tow behind the motorhome with a motorhome dealer-installed DEMCO Stay-In-Play duo braking...
