It doesn’t matter how you extend it, the distance from the end of the receiver to the ball is all that matters. The longer that lever arm is, the more twisting load you are putting on the frame member. That being said, there’s quite a bit of factor of safety built into those numbers.

Funny you should mention Nilite, I just installed their flood pod lights, pretty bright and work great. Wired them to Aux 5&6.

Go for one of these, fits the specs of the Bronco pretty good and there is plenty of room for one or two people. If you get the Sport, it’ll also get places a 20 footer would be a bit tight. Sun Lite 16 BH

I agree with you on the WDH. Certainly not needed on a 3000 lb trailer if it is packed right, and even mild off road conditions will start to break things in a hurry.

Just remember to account for articulation, if the rear wheels are in a dip, things get a lot closer

It was with mine, it was an electric jack, but I think the manual ones were a similar height.

If you are getting a lot of sag, you are probably going WAY over the 350 lb tongue weight capacity. Get a scale and measure it before setting out. In the USA, trailers are heavily biased to the tongue, you almost certainly will need to load heavier things to the back to get to the 8-10% range.

Not true, if you go over 12” you reduce tongue weight capacity by 25%. That’s what I intended to do, but unfortunately, the backup camera sticks out farther than the spare.

Check with your dealer, Ford often compensates people who paid to have it done.

Have you been able to try it yet?

I found a better use for the empty spot.

Welcome, takes nice long drive on some nice back roads, and then grab yourself a beer from the clubhouse kegerator.

That’s good to know, so it has the potential to sound good. Mine is terrible and seems to vary. I’ve got an appointment next week to have it looked at.

I agree, the 7MT is a dream and shifts up thru the gears incredibly smoothly - Rev Matching would make shifting down thru the gears incredibly smooth without learning, practicing, practicing, and practicing heal-toe technique or using the “hold in the clutch while you brake for the light ahead...

Just push in the clutch, pull the stick back, and let out the clutch.
