I spoke with my contact at Derale and people typically see a 20 to 30 degree drop in fluid temperature when using the Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13503, on a 2008 Ford Ranger.
The exact drop in temperature can not be determined due to varying conditions such as the weight of load when towing, terrain, outside temperatures, etc.
For quick and easy installation with no cutting or flaring of the hoses, we offer kit # D13014 for 1/4",3/8" NPT fittings or kit # D13035... view full answer...
The Westin Back Powder Coat Oval Tube Steps for Ford Ranger, part # 22-5055, have a T-slot that runs the length of the step to allow for flexibility during installation. The two sets of instructions have different illustrations to reflect the multiple sets of mount adapter plates that are supplied with the install kit (but not all parts will be used in any given application). view full answer...
Yes, my contact at Curt Manufacturing confirmed that the two locks and the four keys included in their Lock Set # C23556 are keyed identically. This lock kit is intended for use in Curt's Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45900. view full answer...
If you were told your trailer was pre-wired, there would be a mounting plate and plug that would allow you to just connect a plug-in camera system. If that mount and plug is not there, I wouldn't assume the wires are there, though you can still install a Voyager camera system and hardwire it with the following:
- Voyager WiSight 2.0 Wireless RV Backup Camera System # ASA84YR
This is a camera system that you will hardwire, and I have added a link below to a video review for you to check... view full answer...
Yes, you should turn off the sway control on your Ford Ranger when using the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU36FR.
Blue Ox has found the two will essentially counteract each other, so disabling the factory sway control will actually give you the best performance. view full answer...
To install the Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball # SC23-C on Fulton Ball Mount # F47CR you will use a suitable torque wrench (one like # ALL944001) to apply 250-ft-lbs of torque on the nut. I confirmed this with my contact at Brophy Machine Works. view full answer...
There isn't an angle I can give you for when the lockout would be needed; however, if you want to be able to back up as needed you will need a reverse lockout with the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8609502.
That said, the Manual Reverse Lockout Kit for Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuators # DM5939 is absolutely just as effective as the Reverse Lockout Solenoid for Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuators - Non-Bypass # DM11993.
The trade-off being the manual lockout just isn't as convenient... view full answer...
I contacted our representative at Bestop to inquire about the Supertop Collapsible Bed Cover, part # B76302. The representative informed me that part # B76302 is weather resistant but is not waterproof. For an item to be waterproof it must be able to keep water sealed out when submersed under water. The material of part # B76302 will resist rain, but there is a chance that water can get in from the seams or zippers of the cover.
Also, if the cover is stretched too much from water puddling... view full answer...
The Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater, part # RA3501, has a 300 watt output. If left on all night, it will probably drain the battery on your 1985 Ford Ranger.
I would recommend a second battery as the power source for your heater. It would eliminate the need to hook the cables from the heater to the truck battery. I also recommend a charger like the NOCO Genius # 329-GENIUS5. This charger will automatically switch to trickle mode to maintain the charge on the battery, which prevents overheating... view full answer...
The single bar indicates that the gain or output control on the brake controller is turned all the way down. To initially set up the controller, place your foot on the brake pedal and hold the pedal fully down. Adjust the output slider until you see three green bars on the display. Set the sync control to the middle. Do a few test pulls to see how the trailer brakes perform. For more braking, slide the output control to the right, or to the left for more control.

On a flat 4-way connector, the standard function is Green is the right turn signal and brake, Yellow is left turn signal and brake, White is ground, and Brown is the running lights, used when the headlights are on.
You may want to test the wires for function just to be sure. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992 for that.
I have attached a photo that shows typical wiring for a 4-way round connector. view full answer...
With your 2021 Ford Ranger having a maximum tongue weight rating of 750lbs you will not be able to tow your Dune Sport toy hauler. The 750lb rating is the tongue weight allowed before adding a weight distribution hitch. While the Curt Weight Distribution # C17063 will distribute the weight across your 2021 Ford Ranger you are still exceeding the maximum allowed tongue weight for your receiver. You will need a bigger truck with a receiver rated for at least the 1,000lbs or higher if you... view full answer...
We do have an easy solution for you to use a cargo carrier and tow at the same time, though you would not be able to put a hitch ball on a cargo carrier because they do not have the strength to tow a trailer.
To carry your extra gear while you go camping what you can use is the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210 which allows you to use a hitch ball to tow and has a receiver on top for a cargo carrier such as the Curt # C18113.

The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800 weighs 79 pounds. The weight of the hitch will not be added to weight that you will be towing. It will just maximize the vehicle and hitch capacities, so it will not have an impact on the cargo carrying capacity.
If you have any other questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I would be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors. view full answer...
I definitely have the installation instructions for the Curt Front Mount Hitch # C31063 for your 2006 Ford Ranger. I went ahead and attached the pages to this answer. I also confirmed with Curt that this hitch fits a 2006 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4.
Toward the middle of the second page of the instructions, it mentions using the factory tow hooks in the vehicle recovery and winching tips. For that reason, you do not need to remove your factory tow hooks. view full answer...
There is no specific settings for the Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 on your 2019 Ford Ranger when towing your 20ft travel trailer. You will want to drive with the brake controller and find the settings that feel best for you. You want to feel the brakes on the trailer working to slow you down but not so aggressive that it is braking harder than your Ranger.
Remember that no 2 trailers are going to be exactly the same, so what may work correctly on one trailer may be to much... view full answer...
The keys that come with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204 are not universal and will help prevent theft. On our site alone we have over 50 unique keys for replacement options so it isn't like there are 2-3 different possible keys someone could use to get the rack off.
If you're planning to add the # Y00426 to your 2022 Ford Ranger you will also need the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and the BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06124. You will be able to add the SKS Lock Cores # Y07204 to... view full answer...
If your 2021 Ford Ranger 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.
I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13417, and the Curt T-Connector 7-way Connector, # C56431.

The Redarc # RED44FR will only apply the brakes when the brake pedal or manual override is depressed. However, if the emergency braking system engages the brake lights to inform drivers behind you are braking, you could wire the Tow Pro brake signal to the trailer plug brake wire and capture all braking situations.
From what I could find, this is basically what the SST-4000G will do. With this being a pretty new thing though, there wasn't a lot of information I could find about it. view full answer...
