My brother has one of the old silver bullet.... stainless steel campers he pulls.

I have to say that they both look pretty silly behind any vehicle....

But I'm glad you had fun, and really glad you ditched the camper shell, truck looks good now.

btw, that's only the 2nd ranger I've seen with a gooseneck, or is a true 5er? anyways...... I saw a 5spd 2.3 2wd short bed reg box at my buddies a while back with one.

Wait, am I just stupid, or is that actually hooked up to the Ranger?
it seems odd that you would have a 5th wheel on a Ranger, and it also seems that it would sock the back of the truck down more than that.


It looks good though! It is like a Ranger-sized 5th wheel!

What does that thing weigh? :icon_surprised:

How does it pull? Any overheating problems? My grampa had a 5th wheel (pulled it behind his '71 F150 4x4), so I have a soft spot for them.
