  1. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    A WDH could help but be careful to not overload the front triangle of the trailer. Many lightweight trailers are not designed for the extra load a WDH puts on the front triangle. I second the suggestion to go to a CAT scale and get the data.
  2. New Desert Sand 2026 2.7L Lariat owner!

    My 2.7l experience. I did an oil change at 1000 miles. We started a month long trip at ~4000 miles. I had the oil changed at 5000 miles (pulling a 3800 lb camper). The oil was very dark. We pulled the camper ~4000 miles. At 10000 miles I had the oil changed. This time the oil was not overly...
  3. 3500 mile road trip in tow; trying to pursue buyback after

    24 XLT 2.7l v6. With a little over 1k miles on the truck we set off on a 5000 mile journey. From Boise heading West to Oregon cascade range, South to the North side of SF Bay. Back up the mid Oregon coast then back to Boise. Then cross country via I80 to Albany NY. We towed a 4200 lb loaded...
  4. Alaskan Expedition Prep thread, Ultimate tow test for the Ranger

    I think your truck will be fine. I have a VC 19TWD, I've towed it 22K miles. I started with a 21 Taco and now have a 24 XLT v6. The Ranger is night and day better than the Taco. But for the VC, I'm on my 3rd set of springs, many frame repairs and strengthening. Do you have a "good" spare or...
  5. Towing with a tow dolly

    24 xlt 2.7 with the tow package. I used a tow dolly to pick up a Prius. It pulled very nicely and most of the time I didn't realize it was there. (I kept wondering why this Prius was tailgating me). About 150 miles on the highway I didn't even notice a big change in MPG.
  6. Drive selection knob cover (so the dog dosen't put it in 4wd)

    thanks, I'll give it a try. My Scottie sits on the console too.
  7. Drive selection knob cover (so the dog dosen't put it in 4wd)

    I would be interested when you get a working print.
  8. Drive selection knob cover (so the dog dosen't put it in 4wd)

    Has anyone found a solution to cover the drive selection knob?
  9. Ranger 2.3L for towing in the Rockies?

    I just switched from a Gen3 Tacoma to a 2.7l 2024. The Taco struggled in the high elevation. I'm still on our first outing of the year. Boise to Bend, Sisters, Detroit Lake Then South to CA. Per the computer we have gone 833 miles and 13.4 MPG. I am super happy with this truck.
  10. Wondering if 410lb dry tongue weight too much for Ranger?

    What is the GVWR of your truck (sticker on the driver door). Most truck/trailer combo's max out the payload of the truck before the towing capacity. How many people in the cab, what are you planning to carry in the bed? + tongue weight... I just replaced a 21 Tacoma (995 lb payload) with a 24...
  11. Max Payload for 2025 Ranger XLT ? - mpg towing

    I have a 24 XLT 2.7 Sport, no running boards. I ordered this way as to not reduce the payload. The sticker on the diver door states 1495 lbs.
  12. Replaced transmission under warranty is now showing same issue after 1 week of driving

    Does this only happen when it is cold? My XLT does a rough downshift stopping at the first intersection. It does not happen after a few minutes of driving. I have about 700 miles on the truck.
  13. 2025 2.7 XLT ordered

    I have a light foot, and I've watched the boost gauge. I drive on relatively flat roads and the transmission just ticks up through the gears with the engine < 2000 rpm. A big difference over the 3rd gen Taco is that it would aggressively shift into a higher gear and the engine would be in a low...
  14. 2025 2.7 XLT ordered

    I have 200 miles on my 24 XLT 2.7L (from 21 Taco). I'm afraid that I'm going to get a speeding ticket. It accelerates so effortlessly (even without the turbo's engaging).
  15. Turbo Boost Gauge XLT

    Where did you find the turbo gauge (I have not been able to locate it)? As for Bar vs PSI, could it be in the options found in the center display?
  16. Email for build date

    I ordered on May 5, revieved the 45 day email -- then nothing else. In September I revieved a build date of Oct 7. The truck is in "shipping" status right now. 2.7l XLT
