It sounds like the problem lies in either the trailer connector on your Ford Ranger or on your trailer. If I had to guess it sounds like the 12 volt accessory circuit from either trailer connector is shorting out to the reverse light circuit intermittently and that is why the reverse lights are flashing.
I would recommend you inspect the trailer wiring on both connectors looking for any corrosion or anything else that could cause a short and fix as necessary.
I attached an FAQ article on trailer wiring for you to check out also.
