Expert Answers about Ford Ranger


  • Recommended Base Plate Kit for Blue Ox Tow Bar on 2021 Ford Ranger
  • In order to use a Blue Ox Tow Bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar part # BX7380 on a 2021 Ford Ranger you'll need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU77XR. In addition to these, you'll also need a wiring harness and the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 is a great option for this. Finally, you can use the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR with the Roadmaster 12 Volt Outlet Kit part # RM-9332 which...

  • Can Hopkins Backup Camera part # HM50002 Install on Vehicle with Only 4-Way
  • If you wanted to install the Hopkins Back Up Camera part # HM50002 on an SUV with a 4-way trailer wiring connector you certainly can. You would just need to tap into the reverse light circuit. If you check out the install video I attached for this camera you can see how this would install in similar vehicle that doesn't have a 7-way.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Ranger Towing a Pop Up Camper
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. If your loaded tongue weight is...

  • Recommended Rubber Bed Mat for 2021 Ford Ranger with 5 Bed
  • We do offer custom fit rubber truck bed mats for a 2021 Ford Ranger with 5' bed, I recommend the Black Armour Heavy-Duty Custom Truck Bed Mat part # BA52AR. This mat is 1/2" thick so it's super durable and heavy duty. It weighs about 55 lbs so it's not going anywhere, there are no hoop & loop fasteners or snaps needed because the shear weight will keep it in place. The underside of the mat has a texture to prevent sliding around but since it's a custom fit and molded to the shape of the...

  • Trailer Wheel Center Cap that Could Fit 5 inch Pilot Diameter
  • You might remeasure the pilot diameter of your wheels as we don't have a center cap that fits exactly to a 5 inch pilot diameter. We have the # AM90156C which fits a 4.90 inch pilot diameter which is most likely what you need but you might remeasure with a caliper like part # PTW80157 to verify.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2019 Ford Ranger
  • I do have towing mirrors which are a confirmed fit for a 2019 Ford Ranger, the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors part # CM11952-2 and the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors part # KS3990 but the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror part # 11650 I cannot confirm. I recommend the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors because the ratchet style attachment system is super easy to use and you get a really tight fit on the factory side mirrors so there will be little to no distortion....

  • Electric Brake Assembly Set for 2000 Fleetwood Mallard 19N
  • Yes, based on the dimensions of the drums that you have the Dexter brake assembly set part # 23-26-27 is what you'd need. These are manual adjust assemblies though so for a similar priced set of self-adjusting assemblies you'd just need the # AKEBRK-35-SA and you'd be set. For new hubs to go with these you'd just need the # AKHD-545-35-K and you'd have that covered as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2019 Ford Ranger
  • For your 2019 Ford Ranger you are on the right track for picking out flat towing components with the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2679 and tow bar # BX7380 but the wiring kit you mentioned is for trailer towing so instead you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector...

  • Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Ford Ranger
  • For your 2019 Ford Ranger the Draw Tite hitch part # DT73GR is the hitch I recommend over the Curt # C13417 because it has higher towing capacities and it has a bracket built into it for trailer wiring. Aside from that they are very similar and install the same.

  • How To Tell If 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat Has The Factory Tow Package
  • If your 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat has the factory towing package it will have a factory installed trailer hitch receiver, and a 4-way/7-way connector. If you do not have these components then your truck does not have the factory towing package. To add these components you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13417, and the Curt T-Connector 7-way Connector # C56431 as both of these components are a confirmed fit for your truck. I included videos of the products mentioned for you...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Ford Ranger
  • For supplemental braking for your 2010 Ford Ranger with a tow vehicle with power assist hydraulic brakes you would want the part # RM-9060 which has been confirmed as a fit by Roadmaster. The recommended seat adapter is part # RM-88151 so that you wouldn't have to make your own adapter. For a magnetic set of lights to attach to the rear of your Ranger you could use the Hopkins part # C6304. You will also need a base plate kit, tow bar and safety cables. For a base plate you would want...

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2000 Ford Ranger with a Blue Ox RangeFinder II Tow Bar
  • I believe the best option you have to flat tow your 2000 Ford Ranger would be the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 483-1 used with the Blue Ox Rangefinder II to Roadmaster Bracket Adapter # RM-037. I spoke to my contact at Blue Ox and in order to get the Rangefinder II to work with the Blue Ox base plate kit you will need to modify it unless it was made before 2000. You would need to drill holes in the attachment points of the brackets and because of that I would recommend you go with adapter...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2003 Ford Ranger
  • Does your 2003 Ford Ranger already have a 7-Way trailer connector? If not then to install a brake controller you will need to also install # ETBC7. If you do already have a 7-Way connector you will just need # 5506. For a brake controller I recommend the Brake EVN # TK63VR. This is a "nothing fancy" proportional brake controller that will be great for your application. Proportional controllers like this will apply the trailer brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. I...

  • Comparing Roadmaster Direct Connect and Crossbar Base Plate Kits for 2019 Ford Ranger
  • Personally I prefer the direct connect base plate kits like the part # RM-524459-5 as they are easier to connect/disconnect, are simpler overall like you said, and require keeping track of fewer things (the crossbar). While the crossbar does add sturdiness the Direct Connect kits are more reinforced where they attach to the vehicle frame and to the arms of the kit so they overall are just as strong. This would work really well with the Blackhawk part # RM-422. I attached an install video...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2019 Ford Ranger
  • I do have a great option for you, however the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Passenger Side # CM11402 (or # CM11400 for the set) that you referenced is not designed to fit your 2019 Ford Ranger. This particular towing mirror is designed specifically for certain Ram 1500/2500 model year trucks and will not fit the contours of the factory mirrors on your Ranger. There is not a similar custom towing mirror option available for your Ford Ranger, so your best option is with the K-Source Universal...

  • Are There Pictures Available of Roadmaster Base Plate # 435-1 on Ford Ranger
  • The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate # 435-1 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 1994 Ford Ranger, however we don't have any pictures available it installed on this specific truck. I have attached a couple images of the very similar Roadmaster # 435-3 installed on a similar model year Ranger that you can take a look at. This will give you a really good idea of how they will look on your truck. The only real difference between the two kits is that the arms on the # 453-3 can...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Ford Ranger
  • To flat tow your 2020 Ford Ranger behind your motorhome the base plate kit you'd want is the Roadmaster Direct Connect part # RM-524459-5 which is easy to install and easiest to use overall. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well on a similar 2020 Ford Ranger. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For 2019 Ford Ranger To Tow Boat Trailer
  • I would be happy to help! For your 2019 Ford Ranger you will need a trailer hitch receiver, a 4-way connector, and then a 4-way to 5-way adapter as a 5-way connector is the most common connector used on a boat trailer. Since you mentioned wanting a etrailer Trailer Hitch you will need the # e63ZR which has a 900 lb tongue weight rating and 6000 lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for towing your boat. You will however need to confirm the towing capacity of your truck by...

  • Which Thule Xsporter Pro Mid Overland Fits 2006 Ford Ranger Extended Cab
  • The reason the # TH54RR doesn't fit your 2006 Ford Ranger is that it's not the correct fit for your truck. I checked with Thule and the correct kit is actually the part # TH34RR. There isn't hardware for this kit available that you could use to adapt your current rack at this time.
