As I type wife driving 2025 Ranger XLT with advanced tow package . We are towing a Casita back home from Texas. I locked out gears 9 and 10 and am in tow haul mode. Does this temp look ok?

Looks ok to me. Keep an eye on transmission temp as well. My engine temp stays about normal and trans temp goes up a slight on county roads with rolling hills and stops.

What button presses to pull up transmission temp please.

Go through the “ my view” and scroll to gauges and u can select and put on dash board. Apologize for not being more specific but I have to go through it each time to find it cause I have CRS.

No problem and tranny never was stressed in the last hour of towing. No hills though ,we're in Louisinsa.

4H engaged?

No 4H but was tow-haul. Once I found the other gauges to display transmission temp I saw all was good. Just wish Ford had given numbers verses a bar.

Welcome to the Ranger/Casita family.
I too have a 2025 XLT Ranger and tow a Casita. The Ranger has the V6, What engine does yours have?
Last week towed Casita from Dallas to Witcha Falls to Lubbock about 800 miles round trip. Road when from flat to hilly depending on where we were. Used tow mode but did NOT lock out gears. The tranmission shifted as needed. The temp never went higher than then the top of the Icon. I was able to see the trans temp, oil temp and amount of boost. All were normal. Held speed around 65MPH. Hope this helps.

You sure about that? The indicator on the panel shows 4H, meaning 4-wheel drive is engaged. You should not be driving in 4WD on the highway.

Oh yeah it was a momentary error on the dogs behalf going from front seats to back. I forgotten to put the cover over the selector knob. You are correct.​
