[Ramcharger90]

So I spotted this gem today I've always had know this truck existed. But I had too share besides who else better to appreciate this beast then the folk on here. If you come across any unicorns like this or people just doing dumb things they shouldn't do with their rangers please post here.

who knows, that Ranger could have been v8 swapped, OR even better, it could have a 2.9. ?

Am I the only one that sees no picture or link to what the original poster is referring to?

Yup.

It’s an early extended can Ranger with a dump body hooked to a car trailer with another truck on it.

It's not another truck, it's a GM.

That Blazer might not weigh much - most of the metal is probably long gone.

 

[Ranger850]

it's not even a truck, its a 2 door Blazer. probly no motor?

Yeah, but Bondo weighs more than metal.

I think he's referring to the fact that there's an older Ranger, probably with a V-6, with a dump bed that probably weighs twice what a regular bed weighs.
And, it's towing a trailer that probably weighs in excess of 2000 lbs, with an suv that weighs somewhere around 3600-3800 lbs.
Little Ranger is way over capacity as far as weight carrying and towing ability.
Yet, there it is!!!

Who would bother to Bondo a Blazer?!

Ya just never know what's under the hood. Lots of V-8 conversions out there. Years ago, my brother came home one day driving a Pinto (Put In nickel To Operate) with a 289 under the hood, out of a Mustang. He'd bought it from someone that way. Manual transmission, proper rear end for it. It was almost undrivable. Too much power, too little car.

Had a girlfriend that had an old Chevy Luv mini truck with a 327 under the hood, manual trans and proper rear end. That one was fun!

Either way it's strangely fascinating to see a ranger with a dump bed on it

Neither here nor there but the aluminum trailer is well below 2k.

Dads steel frame with wood deck 18’ car trailer weighs about 1800.

Hood scoop and mags make the blazer look mighty suspicious to me.
