Subject: Ford Ranger Towing Gooseneck


Oregon		Anything I can do to get more power out of my Ranger? I just bought a 20ft gooseneck as I'm taking a trip to Idaho to pickup a tractor. Pulling the trailer empty on the way home from the dealer the truck was really struggling on hills. Its got the 3.0 V6 with an auto tranny.

Oregon		This isn't a joke, I realize the truck is small but its the only one I've got right now and I need to make it work as the tranny in my dually went out last week and I'm a bit strapped for cash right now. The trailer was unhooked I just backed the Ranger up to it so you guys could get a picture of both the truck and trailer. The truck and trailer both have really good brakes, stopping is not a problem, I'm just short on power. Would a tuner help at all?

If you are strapped for cash just fix the dually trans yourself. That may be safer

CIL		You may be strapped for cash now, just wait till you've killed a couple of people in crash. On top of the lawsuit, you'll have a wrecked POS pickup and gooseneck. I'd recommend selling the lift kit and horrible tires off that ranger to pay for fixing your pickup that can actually pull that trailer.

Subject: he's BS'n us ^^^^^


Vermont		his first post he says it really struggled on the hills pulling trailer home from dealer and his 3.0 needs more power. Hmm. Looking at his second post we get a good look at his wide tires probably load range c, and you can see the fenders would rub on the tires if he were to let the jack down. Nope, sorry, I'm not falling for it. I say this guy is making up stories on here because it's so much fun. Then later he wonders if he needs to change the front gears if he changed the rear. ha!

I say all this stuff is bull,,,,,

ranger didn't tow that trailer home from dealer.

no tractor to pick up in idaho.

no transmission issue in the dually.

That's my take on it.

Ok, no one has mentioned how to get more power, so I will try to help. What worked for our old ranger was to get it up to say 60 or 70 going down a hill, turn the key off for a couple seconds, then turn on to make it backfire. Repeat until the muffler blows up. Btw, you shouldn't do that, I'm not responsible for your accidents.

St. Joseph, Champaign County, IL		A LOT of difference between an 18' disk at maybe 25 mph, and a gooseneck of the size in the picture at highway speed. Add a tractor on the gooseneck, and it's even more of a difference.

When I was young & foolish I used goosenecks.  I Almost refuse to own 1 today.  Electric brakes are worse than NO BRAKES. They can quit you with NO WARNING.

You will tear up the 1 ton pulling them, why would you want a "roller skate" in front of it.  Best thing I ever did was buy a semi for moving machinery. 

What will you drive if you destroy your driver?  That is if your lucky & live through the wreck.

Does your house have extra wide doors to fit your ego in? Goosenecks are fine when used within reason. I chomp at the bit to get my semi off the road so I can lower my insurance. I use the pickup nearly daily and the gooseneck is cheap to cover so I don't bat an eye at insuring them.

I don't think "flat landers " understand what mountain's are.  When you have 3-5 miles of 5-7% grade, you want a REAL TRUCK in front of a load. Up hill or down.   Why would any sane person want to destroy  a OVERPRICED pickup, when good used semis can be had for less than $10,000.

 I don't have a "ego problem" , As I get older, I just prefer to arrive safe.    When I was younger I pulled a combine 650 miles home on a combine trailer,,,,,, behind a 1 ton dually.  The "tail wanted to wag the dog" if I got close to 50mph.  I hauled a 9120T CIH on the same road last winter on a semi remembering that "other trip" about 30 odd years earlier.    

 I have a couple car trailers for light loads... If I need more I'll take a REAL truck.

It depends on how heavy and how often. For a 20 ft stock trailer, flatbed or the occasional tractor on a tandem dual, a pickup works fine. If machinery and hay hauling is an everyday thing, a semi and dropdeck ( or lowboy) is much better. And I am guessing that the latter is your scenario. Semis are kinda a money pit, so its bad if they sit a lot.

Wisconsin		I'm sorry, but I'm calling BS on this. If you want to convince me that you are really this careless, take a pic of the ball hitch in the bed. I'll guarantee there isnt one. I don't care if you had the power and the brakes to handle the weight, that truck doesn't have the strength to handle it, nor the physical weight to handle the weight of the trailer empty.

live in Spfd, farm located NW Macoupin county		DON'T DO IT. As other s have already said, the Ranger is not built for that heavy of a load. You will have 2 trucks with bad transmissions shortly after you leave the driveway with that set-up.
I understand the short on cash situation, but either hire the tractor hauled, borrow/rent a different truck, or wait till you get the other truck fixed before going to get the tractor.

I am currently on my 3rd Ranger and they have all been good reliable trucks. But this is expecting too much out of a Ranger.

Anything I can do to get more power out of my Ranger? I just bought a 20ft gooseneck as I'm taking a trip to Idaho to pickup a tractor. Pulling the trailer empty on the way home from the dealer the truck was really struggling on hills. Its got the 3.0 V6 with an auto tranny.

Seriously, the trailer alone would probably be a load for a Ranger.

This is a bad idea, hire someone to haul it or fix the other truck.....you plan will not turn out well.

Galena IL		When DOT spots you ,you will be shut down on the spot. In IA they shut the neighbor down with a F350 pulling a tri- axle dual goose-neck empty because the GVW of the trailer was to high for the truck . He gave the state $ 800.00 , me $100 to take the Pete over and pull the trailer back, than paid me $300 to go get his dozer hauled . Like everyone is telling you, he ended up paying $1200 to get a $300 job done.

It was the registration on the truck. A 1 ton can legally pull around a triple axle. Most guys don't plate heavy enough and the IADOT knows it. Easy pickins for the blue revenue buzzards.

Central Indiana		Easiest way to get the power out of that ranger to pull that trailer is to sell the ranger to get the cash to have the transmission fixed in the dually. You CANNOT safely pull that trailer with a ranger, I wouldn't even do it with a 1/2 ton truck. Someone will get killed if you pull that trailer with a ranger.

Watford City, ND		Gibson makes headers that fit Ford Rangers. $400, gives you at least 3-5 more mph. I've heard people say it'll turn a Ranger into a Marine (that's a joke).

Also, look at swapping out the rear end gears. You probably have 3.55 now. Drop some 4.30's in it and it'll pull the doors off of a moderately framed door.

Maybe update the spark plugs and use a K&N Air Filter. Gobs gobs more power. Gobs.

Flip the top of the air cleaner upside down. That allow it to breath like the dragon that it is. Air = power.

Run premium gas. That'll add between a 1/3 to maybe a 1/2 more Gob.

One other option, and call me stupid, is borrow a truck from someone. Nah...

Thanks for the tips. I wasn't quite expecting the backlash about this, like I said, its a capable truck. My truck has 3.73 gears, the biggest offered for the Ranger is 4.10 I've changed out a rear end before, but I imagine the front end has to be the same gears but I've heard its quite a bit more difficult than changing out a rear end. Is that true?

**** Vulcan powa! Check out http://www.moranav6racing.com/category.html?CategoryID=36 I've got one for sale in a 2002 (it got crushed by a tree) cheap. First you'll try the underdrive pulleys, their only good for 35hp. Then you'll bolt on the oversized throttle body and ported intake, so another 35hp. Headers too for another 30. But man throw that stroker in their and you'll be up in supercharged powa! in no time. (Don't even get me started on a supercharged stroker). You pull it, will fall right in that rig of yours. 67000miles.

But if you really want to make some horsepower, I've got a '94 with a turbo'ed 5.0liter, my wife thinks I'm too old for it. Come get it, it'll pull the wheels right off of that goose.

Jewell County KS		If I were you I would take the gooseneck back to the dealer and get your money back then use that to fix the trans in the 1 ton and use the leftover $ to hire someone to haul the tractor. While you are at it might as well sell that trailer hooked to the 1 ton because if you think you have a good idea now you don't need to own a trailer of any kind.

Heck I had a 302 in my '83 and it was really a fun truck to play with.

I do hope to God that you are not going to try to pull that big trailer with a small truck.

A couple of years ago a neighbor sold two JD 730 diesels, one was a high crop. The buyers drove hundreds of miles with a 3/4 ton Ford and a long bumper hitch trailer. They loaded up the tractors and made it about a mile down a flat and smooth highway with nice shoulders before the trailer steered the pickup right into the ditch and rolled them onto their sides.

At least they crashed before they hurt or killed anyone.

Had to rent a car to get home, totaled the Ford, and had to get the trailer and tractors onto a semi flat bed later and shipped home that way.

Those rear tires on the Ranger are not even close to being weight rated to drop the empty gooseneck on it.......

If this is not a joke, then you sir are a moron! If you look at the GVW of the truck vs. the empty weight of the trailer you have to be close the limit if not over.
That being said you want to try to increase power to pull this off. Several suggestions have been made that you, by the sound of your replies, are considering doing. Why not,instead of squandering the money away on something that will in all likelihood result in injury and death, take that money and either fix your dually, rent a dually, or pay someone with a dually to haul your tractor?

Depends on the day, otherwise SW Franklin Co, MO		I'm not so sure that you are joking. Three plus hours into this and the only signs are that you really are as dumb as your question. So please, stop. Just stop. Go to town, fill out an application at McDonalds, and pursue a career in something that keeps you very far away from equipment.

A 2wd Ranger on pizza-cutter tires was an underpowered dog with the 3.0 liter. You say you pulled that gooseneck home empty?? Well, how it performed then is just the tip of the iceberg for how much that "truck" will SUCK at handling the trailer with a load. Hell, that trailer empty is WAY more than your danger ranger is rated to tow! Obviously, your definition of "capable" falls well into the crazy category.

How could you afford a BRAND NEW gneck trailer, but not a tranny rebuild on the other truck?? That trailer had to have cost more than twice of what a rebuild would be.

IMO, the best solution would be to sell both trailers and trucks and fix up the hot rod in the weeds. Just don't put a hitch on it.

In all seriousness, post when you leave. That way we can either watch the news or call the DOT.

P.S. That's a pretty sharp looking Ranger. Why do you want to destroy it?

Who could take the idea of a Ford Ranger pulling a gooseneck with a tractor on it seriously? Maybe I need to get out of the house more, only November and I'm already getting cabin fever.

Most are gracious enough to give someone the benefit of the doubt . . . up until they learn otherwise.

Subject: I KNOW SOMEONE WHO USED A PINTO!!!


The reason that some of us could suspend disbelief is that most of us know at least one person who does foolish things with overloaded tow rigs.

Yes, I know someone who used a Pinto with a bumper pull trailer to haul tractors. Not garden tractors either.

I was hoping that you were just making a joke, but then again go read the story in my V-8 post up above.

Freedom, WI		Hahaha! That's funny! Dad pulled a gooseneck that size with our 4020 on it behind his F-250 and the brakes on the trailer went out...he said that was one of the scariest drives of his life and he has been driving semi for over 20 years. Another time we loaded a friends F-150 on that trailer (brakes were working again) because the tranny went out and we had to rely a lot on the trailer brakes to stop safely. So If it gets sketchy with a truck that size, I can't even imagine how bad it would be with one that size!

I'd say sell your Ranger and get a Cadillac. Problem solved.

Pendleton Oregon		Don't anyone worry about it, the picture is not even from Oregon, first of all the grass does not die in the winter in western Oregon and the trees are not western trees.......

The picture sort of reminds me of Warm Springs with the busted car sitting in the yard, but everything else is way too nice. There isn't any moss growing on anything that has been still for 23 hours so we know it isn't Western OR. And the snow, it may be below zero on this side of the hill, but I left the Willamette Valley on thursday and it was still pretty balmy there.

NW KS/ SC ID		well, if you had a manual it could do it.

Hell, if you had a manual in everything, the dually would not be broke down. :)

Too bad you used an import gooseneck ball, now its just a bad idea.*********
