I'm leaving lots of following room like this and keeping the speed down, and it actually stops quite well with good trailer brakes. I did 400 miles without fuss. If this was a regular thing I'd reinforce the hitch and have no worries.

ish It's not going to scrape rockers but it's going to be lowish on airbags, IFS/IRS, AWD, V8, 5 spd fun little cruiser. And maybe one day it will be pulling the Bronco instead.

Small 5 like the trailer (it's on an Explorer chassis) and in better condition than the trailer tires. 🤷

The point is if you are sticking to 3500 even a 1.0L EcoBoost would be sufficient keep it moving.

Riding on thin wall Goodyears no less. Nope that's for the trailer. Figured I better at least have that since I'm committing another mortal sin for the towing pearl clutchers - the trailer tires are weather checked pretty good.

This ain't it chief.

Could be worse, my "brother" Dick lost a whole 25,000 point account due to that tyrant.

Manual. Had to pull a 5300ft mountain pass and it had no issue maintaining speed. I've had a worse experience pulling this kind of weight with an old IDI F250...

I would try vice grips first, or welding a nut to the head, or grinding flat spots for a wrench.

Based on the Ranger's rating it's clear the 2.3 can pull a ton of weight but people still doubt it. I'm pushing the sane limits of the Bronco here at about 5500lb but there is zero lack of go power. With the WDH it's very stable and confidence inspiring at 60 while knocking out 14mpg.

I wasn't contradicting you, just adding to it.

My pictures are 6G parts. There's usually a little sock on the pick up for filtration, inside the plastic bucket.

No holes in the bottom of the tank unless a tweaker stole your gas. These pictures should help.

They only fit one way and it's still snug, if anything is turned wrong it's not going to happen. I think that's on purpose to protect them better.

Nope, the lines won't even be connected to the tank during the job.

Nope the only holes in the tank are on the top.

The included Eibach spanner has maybe an 8" handle and it's sufficient.

My experience is on a 2dr so there might be some differences, but I found the seals and such can stay. A few bolted on parts need to come off but most can stay, it will make sense once you're into it.

Is this exciting enough? I don't need the table though.

Taken out of context, you had a great time! Flicking burning objects out of a moving vehicle deserves the chair, or at minimum a super wedgie.
