Ford advertises all non-Raptor Rangers as capable of towing 7500 lbs if properly equipped. A TBC is legally required in Montana to tow more than ~ 1600 lbs. , & other states have similar limits. Ford doesn't make or sell a TBC that fits a 2024 Ranger XL, & didn't make the XL capable of receiving...

That's what he said. I think Ford faces many claims, perhaps class actions, for consumer fraud, so perhaps they are wanting to do the right thing & or limit exposure.

"Lack", not "kick."

Hey Strangerc & JasonB, How confident are you of a plug & play TBC? How soon? Because I complained strongly about kick of disclosures of bed rail failures & lack of available TBC, my dealer offered to buy back my truck! If I thought i could get a plug 'n play TBC, I might keep it. NM

Tha Thank you again!

I chkd the Monroney Label and sticker, & believe I don't have interior LED lights. You referred to them in an over post; what does that mean for wiring of a TBC, please? Helena

Thank you! Norm

Hi Stranger, Would you please explain why you wouldn’t use the gray/org line? Would you use the supplied TBC connector, or the wires from the truck that are attached to it, at all? Thanks again, Norm

Hi Hootbro, It appears you have a 2024 Ranger XL. Would you please tell me if you installed a TBC on it, & how you dealt with issues RangerDangerStranger has identified? Thank you, Norm

Thank you, Stranger!

Hi JasonB & Stranger: I'm not at all familiar with vehicle wiring, so please bear with me. I've talked with my Ford dealer's service chief, & he is concerned that using the wired plug provided in the truck by Ford to connect a TBC could disable AEB while towing & cause backflow current that...

Hello Forum folks, With helpnfrom some of you folks (thank you!), & review of other sources, including the Explorerst forum, I have the answer: my 2024 Ford Ranger XL w towing pkg has a connector, labeled with tiny print as a PBT-GF15, zip-tied to a wire cable loom near the firewall about 4...

Hi Rangerdangerstranger: Do you know if an added TBC gets wired (or plugged) into the TRM? Thanks.

Hi Craigc, You've done a lot of work; thanks! Please excuse my ignorance- If you've found the trailer module, does that mean that the trailer brake controller (TBC) wires have to plug into it so the module can then send the TBC current signals through wires that terminate in the 7 prong plug...

Thanks. I hadn't seen that video, so I will see if my trailer braking control wires are behind that panel below the steering wheel.

Can anyone please tell me where, in a 2024 Ranger XL with tow pkg, are the wires that can be connected to an aftermarket trailer brake controller? E-trailer has a pigtail that has a connector to the back of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3, and wires that are to be connected to the truck's wiring, but...

Thank you. I would have liked to have learned about this from the dealer from which I bought my Ranger, Ford's product info, or owners' manual, not after-the-fact from a 2-year old NZ manual disclised to me in a non-Ford forum. To their credit, the dealer is paying for the braces &...

Hi Wayfaring, You wrote that the owner's manual specifically calls out the low (88 lb) capacity of the bed rails. I looked at the printed starter guide that came w/ my truck (2024 XL), & the online manual, & didn't see anything about that weight limit. Would you please tell me where you found...

When I called my local Helena MT topper dealer on 7-1-24 to find out about toppers for my new 2024 Ranger XL 4x4, he said he can't sell them because Rangers can't have > greater than 88 lbs on the bed rails without a $169 (part only) retrofit of "J" brackets. I called my local Ford dealer, &...
