Hello,
I am looking into getting a parts truck for my Ranger however in the area I am in (Louisiana) I cannot find any decently priced parts truck. I looked in my parents area (Ohio) just for the hell of it and found a couple ones that I have my eye on, sure they have more rust but that doesn't bother me. And I got the idea when I go visit for Christmas, to rent a U-Haul car trailer and tow back the parts truck with my Ford Ranger and I just want to know if this will be even possible in a safely manner. I tried to look up the towing capacity and other forums, but I get a lot of mixed answers that I just get confused.
My ranger is a 2005 4.0l V6 SOHC 4x4 5-speed 4:10 gears extended cab. If she can manage it I was planning on taking it to a dealership so they can add electric brake hookup before even looking at a parts truck.
Thanks
