Trailering Ranger Raptor - Front Tie Downs

[kickingaz]

I will be taking a trip in the near future and will be trailering my '26 Ranger Raptor behind my RV. I have had Jeeps for the past decade (or more) and when towing we just strapped to the axles. Of course I can do that with the rear, but what are people using in the front of the Ranger Raptors as tie down points when trailering? I do have wheel straps that will go through the wheels and secure to the tie down points on the trailer, but I prefer to use something else if possible.

i guess the front tow hooks won't work well since the suspension will move and maybe let them slacken up a bit?

Exactly, tow hooks just bind the suspension down.

etrack and tire basket straps? they encapsulate the tire, strap over the top and runs down both sides. or even just the over the tire strap. I used both for my quad. I use to use just the over the tire single strap, then I picked up 2 automotive basket straps when they went on sale waiting for them to go on sale again to get 2 more

I don't have any direct experience with hauling a vehicle, but the macs stuff is top quality.

Yep, I have used (and still use) Macs tie downs, just need a good point to attach to as over the axle doesn't work for the front.

Can you go over the front part of yhe frame? By the bumper mounts or engine mounts?
