We have great frame mounted trailer hitches for your 2001 Ford Ranger like the Draw Tite part # 75082 which provide a 2 inch hitch like you mentioned but we don't have any custom fit bumper mounted hitch fits for your truck so that would not be the route I would recommend. view full answer...
I can definitely help! The main components you need to flat-tow your 2019 Ford Ranger include a base plate, a tow bar, a tow braking system, safety cables, and vehicle tow wiring.
From the sounds of your question, it looks like you are between choosing a Blue Ox and a Roadmaster base plate/tow bar setup. I always recommend the Roadmaster setup because I favor the style of the Roadmaster quick-connect brackets over the Blue Ox ones. With a Roadmaster base plate, you do not need to purchase... view full answer...
The separate brake lights and turn signals on your 1993 Ford Ranger is called a 3-wire or separate system. These systems require a converter, which is not uncommon, to make them compatible with the 2-wire or combined system used by trailers.
The wiring harnesses for your Ranger have converters built in. You can use # 118325 which will tee in line with the truck's tail light wiring. I have included a link to the instructions for you. view full answer...
The BAKFlip tonneau covers are a good choice. I am not sure what size truck bed you have on your 2021 Ford Ranger, but if you have the 5' bed you would get the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish, part # BAK448332. The BAKFlip MX4 for the 6' bed is part # BAK448333.
My recommended ladder rack, that is black and compatible with your 2021 Ford Ranger is the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - Matte Black, part # A39ZR.... view full answer...
If you're looking for the easiest solution, a magnetic mount lamp kit like part # RM-2120 would be a good choice. The kit is easy to install and very easy to use. For a more permanent solution, a diode kit like part # RM-154 would be the way to go.
The magnetic mount lamp system would allow the taillights used when flat towing to remain completely independent of the wiring system of your Ranger. However, running the wires can be time consuming. The diode kit would be more complicated... view full answer...
The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 you were looking at does not get power from the brake output wire on your 2020 Ford Ranger, and instead gets power from the 12v power pin and gets the brake signal from the brake light wires so you will not have any issues.
I included a video of the # C51180 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
I am not sure what you are using for tow bar wiring on your 2011 Ford Ranger, but we have kits that are designed for exactly what you are looking for.
For lighting 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 that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle... view full answer...
The best suspension enhancement available for your 2002 Ford Ranger is the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS2516. This kit gives the suspension support you are looking for, is easily adjustable, and unlike other options improves ride quality and handling when towing and when not towing as well. view full answer...
To get a total of 1-1/2 inch of spacer for your Timbren kit part # TFRR050A you'd need to use the 1 inch spacer part # A25723-90AH00 as well as a 1/2 inch spacer part # TA25722-90P00. view full answer...
To use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 on your 2019 Ford Ranger with a factory 4-way connector you will need to install the Tekonsha 7-way connector # 22124.
This connector includes a harness custom made for your vehicle and will plug in to the factory connectors that your 4-way connector is installed in to. The only wiring portion you will need to do is running the black wire to the positive terminal of the battery with the included fuse.
With this 7-way connector... view full answer...
I would be happy to help!
You can absolutely use the Universal Wiring Adapter # C51515 to install the Curt Triflex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV in your new 2021 Ford Ranger. This harness will plug into the controller plug and the wires on the other end will get spliced into the factory wires under the dash of your truck. This will allow you to quickly unhook the controller if needed.
In regards to the correct wiring connections, we have not had a chance to install a trailer brake... view full answer...
Yes, there is a 7 way wiring harness available for the 2024 Ford Ranger. We recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56431. I double checked with Curt and they confirmed that this will be a fit for the 2024 models. I have linked our install video below. view full answer...
Yes, I did some checking and your 2011 Ford Ranger with a manual transmission can be flat towed as-is. You'll need to check the owners manual though for the correct procedures on this. You should be able to just put it in neutral though.
For a base plate kit you'll want the part # 477-1 for if you have a 4WD or Sport 2WD. Then if you have an XL or XLT 2 wheel drive you'll want the part # 477-5.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting,... view full answer...
Regarding the man door and the awning, is there any way that you can attach the plunger style holder, # DH605, to the support are for the awning that is causing the interference? Otherwise, you could use something like the hook and keeper, # 383400. If they were placed near the door hinges you could probably configure it to hold the door open where it will not interfere or shut. The same thing for the rear barn doors.
The stress on the door keepers would be greater the closer they are... view full answer...
The TS rail kits do fit the Truxedo Sentry tonneau covers like the part # TX66SR that you referenced but we do not have a set that fits your 2021 Ford Ranger 5 foot bed so your best option would be a similar cover that has these slots built in like the RetraxONE XR part # RTT-60335 which then would allow you to use the Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack part # Y01151-5855 which fits the channels of the Retrax with the included adapter. view full answer...
Unfortunately there is not an option available for your 2001 Ford Ranger that has the Grille Guard or Bull Bar as well as a winch so you will need to decide between them or make a compromise. My recommendation is to use a grille guard like # 40-0885 or a bull bar with skid plate like # AAB35-3009 to protect your front end.
If the winch mount is the priority you could go with a rear hitch like # 75082 if you don't already have one and then use a winch plate like part # C31010. view full answer...
Yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 will fit and work perfectly on your 2019 Ford Ranger. There is not a factory plug-in port beneath the dash of your Ranger for a brake controller but all of the wiring is already ran. There will be a 4-wire harness behind the dash at the driver's left wheel well that should be wrapped with some thin blue tape.
Based on my research these 4 wires will be blue, yellow/red, white/purple, and white in color. The blue wire goes to... view full answer...
Yes, we spoke with our contact at Curt and he stated that trailer hitch # 13138 does fit the 2002 Ford Ranger Edge flare side. I have included a link to the installation details for you.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900, which comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For wiring use Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118344. I have included a link to the installation details for the wiring as well. view full answer...
The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # 66557 that you referenced can be installed on a trailer that features a side-mounted jack but it's going to depend on exactly where that jack is mounted on the frame. The sway control brackets for this system need to be attached to the frame 25 to 32 inches back from the center of the coupler.
What you can do is take a measurement from the center of your coupler back to where the jack is mounted to see if it is positioned beyond this range.... view full answer...
We have brake controller solutions for your 2003 Ford Ranger but since your truck isn't pre-wired for a brake controller you'd have to wire in a standard controller or use a wireless solution like the Curt Echo # C51180 which plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow.
For a traditional brake controller the Brake EVN # TK63VR would work really well as it's very reliable and uses an inertia sensor to sense how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes. view full answer...
