OK, now I understand. For that stuff, I always let the pros handle the install. Too many things that I can muck up! This might be a tough one simply because you're not going to find too many people who have the 25 and are flat-towing it after the cluster that the 24 MY was. Good luck to you...

OK, so I took a quick look at the NSA website (makers of that system). They have a product called the DL 100, In-dash light monitor, which comes with the Ready Brute Elite, but can be purchased separately, as well. This sounds like what you are looking for...

His supplemental braking system should have a display unit for the cab of the RV which monitors the braking system while underway. I have a Blue Ox Patriot. The display looks like this: When brakes are applied at the toad by the Patriot system, it will display this on this screen. Do you...

Doesn't his supplemental braking system provide him with this info?

Yes, the problem was software and no, you won't be getting an update, sadly. When the 6G Ranger (and corresponding Bronco) were designed, they changed suppliers for the anti-lock braking system. Apparently, the software supplied by that company didn't play well with Ford's software. What's...

This right here! Find a good trailer hitch shop that does RV's. If you're using Blue Ox, they have a nice directory of authorized dealers. Find some near you then look at the reviews for that place and see what others have to say. We've been through this with two different vehicles in two...

Probably because they know most RV'ers don't listen worth a crap and wouldn't do it, anyway! Seriously though, the important thing is putting the vehicle properly in neutral-tow mode. Most experienced RV'ers already know the value of a charge line to keep your toad battery level up. I agree...

Yes, you should turn your ignition off and yes, your brakes will operate as they should with a supplemental braking system. You should have a hot line directly to your battery for your supplemental brake as your 12V ports will turn off after a brief period of time, leaving your braking system...

This thread is regarding the 2025 MY. The 24 was a known issue.

It had to do with a changed supplier of the anti-lock braking system. That supplier's software proved incompatible with Ford's software. Somehow, they were able to find a fix for the Bronco (basically same drive-train) but not the Ranger in the 24 MY. I do not know for sure if they changed...

I just popped by the forum to see if anyone had posted this. Here is the link to the actual official towing guide. https://www.vdm.ford.com/content/dam/brand_ford/en_us/brand/towing/pdf/2025-Ford-RV-and-Trailer-Towing-Guide.pdf Page 48 is where the recreational towing section is.

Yes, a gentleman that I "know" from the RV forums was an engineer with Ford working in that specific department before retiring at the end of last year. I just traded a few messages with him last month regarding this as my lease on my '21 Tremor ends in May and I wanted to double-check that the...

Yeah, I'm not thrilled. My lease ends next month and I was supposed to have placed my order a couple months ago. I'd probably be sweating bullets right now, wondering if it was going to make it out of production or not. We even considered a '24 Bronco as we really like the look of them but...

Buy a Jeep? Yeah, because those don't have any issues. Kind of a strange statement to make on a Ford-based site.

This makes me happy to see how great the truck is (finally!) and makes me sad that because of the flat-towing issue, I can't get one until '25!

Never heard of it. I'll check it out. Might be easier than laying on my back and putting 16 screws in!!! Thanks!

12V outlet, mounted to driver's side of bed. Connector located behind left rear tire. Wire coming into it is from 12V adapter and simply drops through hole in bed. On-off switch for under-bed lights. Bucket with helmets and lights, charged and ready for next ride.

And, I just realized I posted this on the wrong forum, being that I have a 5G Ranger. I spend more time here than the old forum so I just wasn't using all my senses, obviously. I'll still post pics for those interested but my apologies for anyone who was wondering why this was here!

I'll get some today.

Not the biggest mod in the world but so crazy that a Ranger owner saw a need and created his own company to fill that for the rest of us. I had no idea how easy it was to add power to the bed with the connector that Ford had already built in right behind the LR tire. Literally less than a...
