First time pulling fifth wheel with the ranger

[suzuki14258]

It handled the weight ok and stoped very well with the trailer brakes but the 3.0 really struggled going up hills. I could only hold 55 mph on the hills. I know i know i was probaly over loaded a little bit but still the performace seamed a little weak. I attached a photo of the trailer i was pulling .......

You need a couple more stickers to help with the horsepower numbers. Possibly a rear spoiler to help keep the drive tires from spinning...lol

DAMN MAN! I don't know how you did that without racing stripes haha

I get the feeling he just parked in front of it guys.

My first clue was that the leg on the trailer is down, second was that the rear tire - fender gap is too big even for towing a boat trailer. at least it got some strange looks at work when i showed the other parts guys!

Not to mention that thing could hold about 10 Ranger's (properly stacked of course).

Way to ruin it.

being that its a weekend warrior that can haul 4 or more small off road toys id bet you could almost park the ranger inside of it! i pulled an empty tandem axle landscape trailer with my 3.0l and it did not like it one bit. of course that was before the regear but i still dont think it would like it.

I was just messing wuth yal , i just parked in front of it. I need someone to photo shop the legs off the picture, i wanted to take this picture for a long time but i never could with the tire gate i use to have. If the ranger wasnt to heavy and you took one of the rear bunk beds out it would fit in there. I think it would go through the floor or bend the rear door , i bet people driving by were like wtf

I got the joke... I was playing along... I work for an RV dealer, I know one of those tri axles puts a hurting on our 2500HD, it would probably snap a Ranger in half. Most weight upwards of 15K easy, unloaded.
