I found a new 24 SV king cab Frontier in Boise w towing pkg, tech (didn't really want that), & Rinoliner bedliner for $33.3K OTD. Picked it up 3 weeks ago. Too many bells & alarms for my taste, but otherwise, seems fine I found a new Frontier king 4wd SV w tow pkg & Rhinoliner in Boise for...

I suggest caution about towing up to 3,500 lbs with bumper only & no trailer brake controller (TBC). US DoT & many states have regulations. For example, MT says towing anything > 3,000 needs a TBC, & if trailer weighs less than 3,000, towing a trailer weighing more than 40% of the towing...

I bought one in June '24 that needed J braces. I haven't read anywhere that newer Rangers trucks have been built or retrofitted to correct the problem. I complained & returned mine to the dealer who bought us back at my cost. At the time, the dealer couldn't tell me if there was any available...

And they can't carry more than 88lbs on the bed rails, plus mine got cracks at the spot welds on the bed floor after 2 weeks when I had carried one light load protected by 2 layers of tarp.

I looked in the manual, & elsewhere online. I saw nothing. One person on this forum said the bed rails limit was in the manual, but the only source he gave was a 2022 New Zealand repair manual. Not exactly fair notice to USA buyers. Plus, mine ('24 XL) had cracks in its bed floor at the...

Thank you!

Hi Stranger, I just saw your 7-29-24 post. It wasn't just the TBC issue; it was the lack of adequate bed rail reinforcement, so that J- braces, which are backordered, were required to carry > 88 lbs, so no topper. The dealer didn't want to wait much longer to buy back my truck, & his service...

Thanks for the credit. I just found a plug where others had shown they had found it on ExplorersST videos. Stranger's electronics expertise was the key. I am very impressed by him & Hootbro & others on this forum.

Thanks Stranger!

The E-trailer RedArc Liberty, item # RED67CR, appears to come with the PBT-GF15 connector that plugs into the plug on the '24 Ranger.

The Tekonsha TK99UR TBC, which is a Prodigy P3 with the PBT-GF-15 connector that mates with the '24 Ranger XL's included wired plug, is listed by e-Trailer as compatible w a '24 Bronco.

Hi Stranger, you do great work for those of us who don't know electronics. At the risk of making it obvious that I am dumb as a post about wiring, a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 with a PBT-GF15 connector that mates to the plug that I found on the '24 Ranger XL is sold by E-trailers as item # TK99UR...

I emailed Ford's General Counsel about the bed rails collapsing, the need for J braces, the lack of a compatible TBC, & the cracks in the bed floor. I got a call back & I sent details yesterday. I will be interested to see if the response is meaningful.

Stanger, I'm out of the game now, but still curious (& ignorant about wiring), & would like to know these things: is the plug I found suitable for installing a TBC? Does an installation require tapping into another wire for the brake light signal? Are diodes necessary to protect against...

I talked to a Redarc guy last week when he called from Australia to return my msg He told me they didn't have any unit compatible with '24 Rangers yet.

I just received a full-price buyout for my '24 XL. I thank all you folks for helping me understand Ranger TBC. I urge you to be cautious in purchasing a Ranger- the bed is floor must be thin & weak - mine developed 2 small cracks in the bed floor after being driven only 4x, & carrying only 1...

Thank you! I was told by my dealer's service mgr that he believed there was no part that was compatible with a std tow pkg

Do you have the Advanced Tow Pkg?
