Re: [A/S] Towing with a Ranger again



Hi Joseph,

You can tow an Airstream with a riding lawn mower..... that doesn't make it 
safe to do so.

Do what you want, since you will anyway.  But know this, it's neither safe 
nor smart to tow with the Ranger.  It's a grocery hauler, not a tow vehicle.  


Adding a tranny cooler, a temp guage and a sway bar will do absoultely 
nothing to make it a safe tow vehicle.

It's not stable.  Did you read Tony's post?  His Airstream and Suburban 
flipped..... towing is inherently dangerous and towing with a mini "truck" is 
a very risky proposition.

" I should be OK with the rolling hills I occasionally encounter.  And if 
not, I guess that gives me reason 
enough for a new truck!  >

<sigh>  If you are still alive. It's not anout power, it's about stability. 
It's about the tail wagging the dog.
