  8. Ranger 2.3L Towing 4000+ lb. Winnebago Trailer -- pic & impression

    No WDH because I wanted to see how it towed without one. For what it is worth Winnebago stated it was not necessary on this trailer with the tow vehicle I proposed. When I bought my last trailer - an Rpod- dealer wanted me to buy a WDH - but I did not and never felt any need for...

  13. Mystery Foam Pad- Dealer Going To Pull The Bed - Really ?

    After waiting for a long time, my dealer says engineering from Ford communicated to them that 1) the foam pad behind the cab should be there, 2) it is there for sound deadening, 3) it frequently comes loose, 4) the fix is to pull the bed and reinstall new foam !! This sounds kind of crazy...

  15. Curt Echo Wireless Controller

    I have used one in the past and been very happy with it. When programming to Ranger had problems - phone said Bluetooth was on but would not program to phone. Curt guided me to the list of apps that were connected to Bluetooth, the Echo was not. So once I turned that on, everything went fine.

    Driver seat will only go 2/3 of the way back - looked under the seat and saw a platic guard that goes around a grey box and it looked a little melted and had popped up. I pushed it back down - but still no dice. Notice the memory buttons are not working - not sure if there is a connect with...
