[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 159554, member: 18302"] Ivan, You might want to double check that max tow capacity and other limitations like combined gross vehicle weight. I found some pages that indicate newer 4 cyl 4x2 reg cab rangers w/manual transmission have quite a bit less towing capacity than 2,200 pounds - more like 1,400 - 1,600 pounds. Here is a link [url]http://www.ford-trucks.com/specs/2001_ranger_1.html[/url] smb - you might want to double check your manual, as well. This page indicates the gross combined vehicle weight (that's truck, gas, occupants, trailer, etc...) for a 4 banger Ranger should not exceed 4,800 pounds. The 'dead weight' is not to exceed 2,000 pounds and the tongue weight should be no more than 200 pounds. BTW, the 4 banger Ranger weighs around 3,100+-. [url]http://www.fordtruckprices.com/Ford/Ranger/Reg_Cab_2.5L_XLT/2001/specs.html?target=_parent[/url] Ford is usually conservative on their tow ratings for manual transmissions, but pulling a 4,800 pound trailer with a 4 cylinder 5 speed Ranger is asking for trouble.
