Expert Answers about Ford Ranger


  • Tailgate Lock Options for a 2004 Ford Ranger
  • I have tailgate locks that were designed to work with the OEM tailgate handle on your 2004 Ford Ranger, but I do not have a complete replacement locking tailgate handle. For a tailgate lock, we have three options for your truck. For a manual lock, you can use the Pop and Lock Custom Tailgate Lock, # PAL2310 (Black) or # PAL2310C (Chrome). There is no drilling required to install this lock and it provides a factory appearance. We also offer the Pop and Lock Custom Tailgate Lock, # PAL8200....

  • Weight Distribution Shank Recommendation for 2020 Ford Ranger with 23" Coupler Height
  • The average trailer coupler is 16" - 18" measured from the ground to the bottom of the receiver so if the top inside of the hitch receiver on your 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat FX4 is 23" from the ground we need to use a shank with a drop of at least 7" to get to that 16" height. This means you need the following: - 10K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37101ET - Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4300 (for max 6" drop) - Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4400 (for max 9" drop) - 1-7/8" Thin-Walled...

  • 4-Pole Trailer Connector for 2021 Ford Ranger
  • The Tekonsha # 118325 won't fit the 2021 Ranger. Instead, you'd need to use part # 22124 if your truck isn't equipped with the factory 7-way connector. You can then use either an adapter like # 47345 or a T-harness like part # 118384 which would install inline between the 7-way and the harness provided by the # 22124. I'd recommend the T-harness versus the adapter, as the adapters are easily misplaced.

  • Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller Wiring For 1999 Ford Ranger
  • There isn't an adapter available for your 1999 Ford Ranger unfortunately. The Tekonsha Prodigy 90185 you have, is meant to be directly wired into your vehicle's stoplight switch. If you do not already have a 7 way at the rear of your vehicle, you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 for installation.

  • To convert the surge disk brakes on your 2014 EZ Loader Boat Trailer to electric over hydraulic brakes, you will just need a few things.

  • Parts Needed for a Ford 2020 Ranger Brake Controller
  • We have the parts you're looking for! It looks like Ford is using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite, part # RED44FR, as the brake controller for a 2020 Ford Ranger. If your Ranger has a factory 7-way, then the harness you need to install this brake controller is the Plug-and-Play Harness, part # 331-TPH-007. This will allow you to easily hook up the Tow-Pro Elite. I've linked to a video review of this harness for you to look at. We also have the controller and harness bundled together, which I've...

  • Is Hitch Extender Needed With Blue Ox BX8870 KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector
  • According to Blue Ox, users of the Blue Ox # BX8870 KarGard typically don't need an extender to increase the distance between the motorhome and the towed vehicle because the KarGard will sit pretty close to the vehicle being towed (about 1 foot). If you should find you need an extender, Blue Ox tells me that it's acceptable to use the # BX88264 for 12 inches of extension or # BX88265 for 6 inches of extension, but the tow bar will need to be within 3 inches of level. They go on to say...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2003 Ford Ranger with Factory 4-Way
  • The 2003 Ford Ranger does not have a factory brake controller port. Instead you will need to use the 4 and 7 Way installation kit # ETBC7 that you have referenced. This kit provides the 7-Way, while still retaining the 4-Way, and all of the wiring needed to install a brake controller. I have included some links that explain the installation of the ETBC7 for you. If you need a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, which is one of our best-selling controllers because it...

  • Recommended Solution to Help with Absorb Bumps on Small Utility Trailer
  • I'm not necessarily sure that the air pressure of the tires is the main culprit here since the smaller tires have a higher air pressure to compensate for the lower capacity; you could absolutely go with a larger tire like the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM3S140 to give yourself a higher capacity tire that doesn't require as much air. However, I think the light weight of the trailer also makes it a bit more prone to the bouncing...

  • How to Use a 4-Flat Vehicle Connector on a 2020 Ford Ranger
  • I have a solution for you but there is not a plug in harness available for your 2020 Ford Ranger. There is a 7-way harness that plugs into your trucks OEM wiring. Once you get this installed all you would need is an adapter like the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter item # PK12716 . The 7-way harness for your Ranger is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector item # 22124. This plugs in behind your rear bumper.

  • Can a 2WD Automatic 1997 Ford Ranger be Flat Recreational Towed and What Parts are Needed
  • I was able to find an online version of the owner's manual for your 1997 Ford Ranger and on page 244 it looks like you can flat (recreational) tow your vehicle but you will need to disconnect the driveshaft at the rear differential and properly support it under the vehicle otherwise you can only travel 50 miles at a max speed of 35 mph. I recommend checking your owner's manual to verify this and for any other specific flat towing instructions. For a complete flat towing setup you will...
