What's the biggest towed?

[calypso93]

I don't have the largest towed, but maybe the distance is near the top. We had a 21 foot fifthwheel RV, around 4800# loaded, and did close to 50K miles over a three year period. No extra stuff on the truck, other than a 5th hitch. The reat was all factory ordered. Nice trucks theses Rangers.

ive only towed once but it was a 25 mile trek pullin my grandpas 2500hd with no driveshaft, ranger never bitched, squeaked or moaned. no problems at all. i enjoyed the looks from ppl when they saw a so called 'mini truck' pullin that monstrosity. but all in all its always a good day when a ford is pullin a chevy.

The biggest I've towed was an 88 ranger xlt...It had no rear end in it and the bed was off so I hung it from my truck just to tow it to the backyard...lol, I know...stupid idea

I just pulled my neighbors big ass GMC full sized van today about 7 miles to the shop. He was broke down on a hill facing upwards and was parked in gravel. Through it in 4 Low/2nd gear to get going and didn't even spin the tires. Pulled it like a champ. Some guy in a full size diesel pulled up before we got moving and asked if my neighbor wanted a " REAL TRUCK " that could pull his van to tow him up the hill and too a shop. He said no and the guy started to laughed at me till I started pulling like it was nothing. Smart ass full size truck owners!

[Tractorman]

I towed my 99 Cobra plus all my clothes and crap from Texas on a car hauler with my Ranger. Had an Equilizer hitch. Wasn't fast, but eventually got up to speed, did 75 most of the time on the interstate. Had trailer brakes. Had to weigh in after, Gross weight (without my 250 pound ass in the seat) was 10,500 pounds.

Used it multiple times to haul scrap metal over the summer, regular crossed the scales at a gross of 9500 pounds or better.

Also entered it in a truck pull in the 5000 pound class. Threw 500 pounds of tractor weights in the bed and hooked up! Went 232 feet before I spun out, since I'm on crappy BFG Long trails. Crowded laughed at first, but were cheering me on in the end! Pretty funny experience, plan on doing it more.

 

[Resurrection Ranger]

2000 lbs of dog food. Didn't think it was that much till I did a little math with the 40lb bags. Driven about 7 miles and lived to tell about it!

[zukirider21]

biggest thing ive ever towed was a big ass tandem axle enclosed trailer with 3 quads and a few dirtbikes. with my bosses 92 reg cab 2.3 stick ranger.

towed like a dream. no trailer brakes, and not too sketchy. did 60 on the interstate no problem.

 

[predator]

the heaviest i ever crossed the scales at was 23,500 lbs. considering my scrap rig weighs in at 8500 thats 15,000 pounds of scrap!!! prices were high, scrap was plentiful, oh the good ole days

truck used was a 95 dodge half ton shortbox, i have nothing bad to say about dodge trucks except for a few little minor things, i have hauled too many heavy loads of scrap with dodge trucks to say anything bad about them...

 

[GTO 06]

This is probably the most I have towed with my Ranger; it is a 16ft trailer with hydraulic tilt, and the two golf cart were about 900 lbs each. Way to much tounge weight but not as bad as I thought it would be.IMG]http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv271/GMC83/RANGER/rangertrailer1.jpg[/IMG]
