Expert Answers about Ford Ranger


  • Will the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Controller Work with a 2023 Ford Ranger
  • Hey Jacques, thanks for reaching out! The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR will work just fine on your 2023 Ford Ranger, and it will install by splicing into a bundle of wires under your driver side dash. We have a video of this same process of the Prodigy P3 # 90195 on a 2021 Ranger that I'm linking for you to reference, but we don't have anything of the Liberty on a Ranger at this point in time. I'm not sure why we don't have this listed out to fit "with the tow package", but I'll send...

  • Are Replacement Spring Bars Available For The Curt TruTrack 4P Weight Distribution System # C74RV
  • Hey Paul, I spoke with Curt and they stated that the Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17535 would only be compatible with the # C17499. The Curt TruTrack 4P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C74RV (17520) is such a new part that Curt doesn't have replacement parts set up for it yet but is working on it. That being said neither of these would properly distribute the weight and would instead make it worse because...

  • Does Manual Override Button for Curt Echo Work if App is Open in Background
  • As long as the app for the Curt Echo # C51180 is running in the background of your phone the manual override part # C83HR is going to work. It would require you killing the app for it to stop working.

  • Will the Curt T-Connector Wiring for a 2024 Ford Ranger Work Without OEM Tow Package?
  • Hey Asa! I totally see where you're coming from, and I can see why it would be confusing. The gray plug will plug in at the back of your 2024 Ford Ranger, and then the black wire from the Curt T-Connector # C96GJ will need to draw power directly from your battery. The blue wire can be ran up to the front of your Ranger and attached to a brake controller if you decide to do that. The red wire is for the reverse light function. The reverse function doesn't always need to be used which...

  • 2025 Ford Ranger Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • Hey Tom! I personally like the etrailer Hitch # e37ZV because it has a matte black finish that protects the metal better than a standard glossy black finish, but I see you picked up the Draw-Tite # DT35PR which is also a great hitch that I know you'll be happy with! What drew you to that hitch over the Curt? Did you need wiring for trailer lights as well?

  • Wiring Brake Controller to Under Dash Wiring of 2021 Ford Ranger
  • We had the chance to install a brake controller in a similar Ranger as your 2021 model and when using standard brake controller wiring like with the # C51515 to install the Curt Echo Mobile # C27JR the yellow/orange goes to the black wire, the blue wire is going to go to the blue wire, the white wire is going to go to the white wire, and the violet with white stripe goes to the red wire.

  • Do You Have a Roadmaster Base Plate for My 2025 Ford Ranger?
  • Hello Russell, Great question. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU77XR fits the 2019-2023 For Ranger. For the 2025 Ford Ranger we only have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM23DQ at this time which is a pre-order item. The delivery date might not be completely accurate since Roadmaster is still in the works on designing one. I am sure Blue Ox is in the works for one as well as the Ford Ranger is a popular vehicle to flat tow. If the Roadmaster Base Plate...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Wiring Harness for a 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor
  • It sure will Chris! The Blue Ox 4-Diode Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit item # BX8848 is designed specifically for the LED lights on your 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor. The diodes will protect your RV from feedback and you won't get a bunch of warning lights. The installation process of the Blue Ox item # BX8848 will be similar to the Roadmaster item # RO44FR. I have linked installation videos below for both. You'll want to pay specific attention to the diode pin configuration. The Roadmaster...

  • Comparing etrailer and BAKFlip G2 Tonneau Covers for a 2008 Ford Ranger 6' Bed
  • Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! For your application you'll want to go with the Quad-Fold BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26305 on your 2008 Ford Ranger. The etrailer Hard Tonneau Cover # e23DR actually doesn't fit your Ranger and we don't have a fit for an '08 Ranger at this point in time. Even if it did fit, the etrailer cover is a pretty entry-level product so it gets the job done but doesn't look as nice and doesn't operate as smooth. Then when it comes to rain protection;...

  • How to Mount 2 Batteries on A-Frame Trailer with Limited Space on Tongue
  • I do have a possible solution for you but unfortunately there aren't any battery boxes available that will hold two 12V batteries and fit within a 21" length and 8" width. The closest thing we have is the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7708R which measures 26-3/4" long x 8-3/16" wide x 13" tall and as you can see from customer pictures the batteries fit in there pretty snug. Your batteries actually don't have to be side by side so you could potentially put one inside your...

  • Where is Brake Controller Wiring on 2023 Ford Ranger
  • Using the cut off wiring harness you have for the P3 part # 90195 you will wire it to the brake controller wiring of your 2023 Ford Ranger which is sticking out of the large wire harness that goes through the driver's side firewall, left of the brake pedal, with shrink tubing on the ends. The wiring on your truck will have it's functions labeled but for the brake controller wiring the red is for the stoplight circuit, black is for 12 volt power, white is for ground, and blue is the output...

  • Difference Between the Curt T-Connector and the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness
  • Clive, realistically there is no difference between the Curt T-Connector # C56431 and the Tekonsha T-One # 22124. The only real difference is one is made by Tekonsha and one is made by Curt. The Curt also does come with Zip ties and a protective cover for the plug.

  • Brake Controller For A 2023 Ford Ranger With Factory 4 Flat
  • Hey Bill, You can absolutely use your Primus IQ on your 2023 Ford Ranger! The installation will be a bit different, since there is not a plug and play adapter for your vehicle it will need to be spliced in. If you do not have the universal harness it came with originally we do have a replacement, # 20127. This would just plug into the back of the controller and then splice into the vehicle. For your Ford Ranger, the 4 flat plug that is on it would be considered "without a factory tow...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2019 Ford Ranger
  • I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2 for your 2019 Ford Ranger. We haven't test fit these yet (April 2019) on a 2019 Ranger but these will fit most mirrors that are 4-1/2" to 11-1/2" tall. Since this is a wide variety and we have test fit these to work on other Ford pickups you shouldn't have any issues with your Ranger. As of right now there are no custom fit options for your 2019 Ranger. I have attached a review video of the K-Source mirrors that you can...

  • Will Access Tonneau Cover Velcro Strip Replacement Work On MaxMate Tonneau Cover Ford?
  • Hey Bryon! While the Replacement Velcro Strip for Access Tonneau Covers - 1-1/2" x 17' # A30474 is not a direct fit for MaxMate tonneau covers, I did look that cover up and it seems like it should work just fine. Luckily the velcro strips are not super specific to models since it's, well, just a strip of velcro. I think it will work fine but just keep in mind you may need to do a little trimming. What kind of truck do you have and what do you normally store under the cover?

  • Which Tonneau Cover Works With Elevate Rails And Rack On 2024 Ford Ranger?
  • Hey Jim, the TS Rails for TruXedo Elevate Rack System # TH85FR fits your 2024 Ford Ranger and allows you to install the Truxedo Elevate Rack when paired with one of the following tonneau covers: BAK: G2, MX4, Revolver X2, and Revolver X4 Extang: Encore and Exceed Retrax: One XR with T-slot and Pro with T-slot Truxedo: Lo Pro, Pro X15, Sentry, and Sentry CT You said you've already tried the PRO X15, which should be compatible.
