Very nice! The rapid red really pops in the sun and looks good on Mustangs too. About as close as we’ll get to the McLaren volcano red.

I removed a zero for you in there, hope my assumption was correct.of guys towing rigs over 6,000 lbs. without issue
Yeah, it’s pretty well documented. At least there’s a solution that’s approved by Ford. Just one more thing for me to consider.Ford did drop the ball though on no trailer brake controller from the factory with the tow package. It is available to purchase separately though.
I thought there was some mention of that in another thread. Didn’t find anything specific. What track(s) has he gone to and is he coming from LA or OC or SD?One particular member tows his S197 to the track and says it does well. This is what I eventually plan to do.
Haha... thanks!I removed a zero for you in there, hope my assumption was correct.
He took a few pics of his car on the trailer in front of Chuckwalla. I believe he was from OC or LA.Yeah, it’s pretty well documented. At least there’s a solution that’s approved by Ford. Just one more thing for me to consider.

I know 3 guys that tow S197’s with their Rangers to all of the SoCal tracks. Two are members on here. @trmkars @Oxford5pointohI thought there was some mention of that in another thread. Didn’t find anything specific. What track(s) has he gone to and is he coming from LA or OC or SD?

Yes, I towed my s197 to a number of tracks. Also towed my cousin's 1967 big block four speed four door Chevelle!I know 3 guys that tow S197’s with their Rangers to all of the SoCal tracks. Two are members on here. @trmkars @Oxford5pointoh

I’m assuming all open trailers?
Good to know. Not too hard to get there from LA, but not so sure about using 241/261 to get to the 91 or 15 if coming from OC. I suppose it’d be safest for me to use the 55 anyway.
I was thinking of using a weight distribution hitch. Stock springs aren’t enough on FX4 or Tremor?I do recommend adding some form of a helper air bag springs, change the rear leaf springs, or use a weight distribution hitch.
Thanks! I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough. Looks like I have more homework to do.I suggest checking out this thread from ranger5g:What are you guys towing?
Just wondering what everyone’s going to be towing with their new rangers? Post pictures too!! Jakewww.ranger5g.com
A happy wife is a happy life......believe me................ I know......................she still loves it,
So True, Carver....I don't believe the Ranger was made for heavy duty stuff...just a truck to enjoy.............."Go big or go home"
I agree. That doesn't mean I have not done it. I pulled a 24" travel trailer with a 1998 4.0L Ranger. You had to be ready stop at a moments notice."Go big or go home" when it comes to trailer safety !! At least a 150 or better still a 250.
Hah...wow !! Nothin puckers your a** better than trailer sway at 60 mph. HAHA !! You got balls my friend .I agree. That doesn't mean I have not done it. I pulled a 24" travel trailer with a 1998 4.0L Ranger. You had to be ready stop at a moments notice.
