Always wanted one of these trailers. Too bad that I finally see a used one for sale--and my family has outgrown something like that.

Ranger at work...
 
Hope that has the 4.0 with 4.10 gears...
 
4.0 or not the trailer would still be driving the truck, imagine being on the highway when its windy. that trailer would be mint for a bronco or something though

Don't quite know how you would put a fifth wheel hitch in a Bronco, but okie.

Fifth wheel trailers tow rather well to be honest.
 
that trailer has got to be light as a feather. with only one axle, most likely the trailer is under 3500lbs. That is well within the a capabilities of our rangers. My 96 2.3 with 3.73s would have been able to haul that.

Definately a nice little camper!
 
I would say it is close to 4000-4500#. The pinbox usually has a few hundred pounds on it.
 
LMAO you have to be kiddin me I was driving around today (03172008) and noticed a little camper in Caseys (gas station) so I turned around and it was being pulled by a little white Ranger. I didn't look at the tag but I can with a 99.9% guarantee it was the same camper and Ranger I live right in the smack dad middle of Kansas. When was that pic taken.
 
trailer only weighs 2000 pounds empty. If you click the link its got all the specs on the ebay page.

I stand corrected....

Tow on.

:dntknw:
 
Well those scamps weight ~2000lbs before options so probably not more than 3000-3500 decked out and loaded. We used to pull a 4300lb (empty weight) all over the place with our 2002 Ranger 4x4 w/ 4.0 sohc and auto, and it didn't have to much trouble pulling or stopping. The only time the Ranger really struggled was on hills, and I wouldn't even think about the combo without good trailer brakes though with adequate following distance it would stop without incident. That scamp probably weighs a good thousand pounds less than our camper ever did, so I honestly doubt you would have a problem pulling it with a properly equipped Ranger.
