• Choosing Proportional or Time Delayed Brake Controller for Truck with Manual Transmission
  The Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV and Universal Wiring Adapter # C51515 is an excellent choice for your 1986 Ford Ranger with a manual transmission. Proportional brake controllers like the Curt TriFlex have an internal inertia sensor which responds to the deceleration of your tow vehicle. Letting your foot off the gas pedal for a few seconds to shift gears does not create enough of a deceleration to send the signal to engage the brakes on the trailer. The controller won't...

• Differences in Curt and Hopkins Wiring Harnesses with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector for 1988 Ranger
  Both 4-pole wiring harnesses available for your 1988 Ford Ranger, Curt # C55314, and Hopkins # 40205, are custom-fit types that plug in to connectors on the vehicle and both are passive, meaning that they do not require a 12V power feed directly from the vehicle's battery. So the power for the trailer lights will be drawn through the truck's own wiring. As far as differences, besides the way the connectors are attached to the harness there really is no difference. I personally recommend...

• Available Wiring Harness Differences on 1988 Ford Ranger and Current Draw from Vehicle
  Both of the 4-pole wiring harnesses available for your 1988 Ford Ranger can be seen on the provided link. Both are custom-fit types that plug in to connectors on the vehicle and all are passive, meaning that they do NOT require a 12V power feed directly from the vehicle's battery. That type of powered converter requires this separate power feed to provide the operating power for your trailer's lights. Powered converters use the tail light wiring on your truck just to trigger the converter's...

• What Size Enclosed Cargo Trailer is Best for Use with 1992 Ford Ranger Extended Cab with 4.0L Engine
  According to my research the 1992 Ford Ranger 4 X 4 with 4.0L engine has a towing capacity of 5800-lbs. You can confirm this in your owners manual or by providing your VIN (vehicle identification number) to your local dealership. The next item you need to check on is your trailer hitch receiver. We do offer a number of hitches for the 1992 Ranger (except the GT version) in both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch sizes and the highest-rated among them have a maximum towing capacity of 4000-lbs. As an...

• Does Trailer Wiring for 1992 Ford Ranger have Turn Signal Converter Built In
  The trailer wiring harnesses we offer for your 1992 Ford Ranger like the Curt part # C55314 do not have converter boxes integrated into them. That means your vehicle has the stop and turn signals combined on the same circuit. If your brake lights on the trailer aren't working, then that is most likely a ground problem. If you clean up the ground connections of the lights or the main ground of the trailer (from the 4-way to the trailer frame), the brake lights will start working again.

• Hitch Recommendation for a 1987 Ford Ranger with Dual Fuel Tanks
  I spoke to my contact at Curt and he informed me that the dual tank setup on your 1987 Ford Ranger would not be an issue for installing their hitch part # 13138. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball,...
