Hey guys, not new to forums, but new to this one!

My names Parker!

Anyways,

I had to tow some appliances and really didn't think it through that the load was probably too big and heavy for my little ole ranger.

Started out fine while towing, but the moment I tried to hop on the interstate, going about 30-45 it started bucking really bad. Didn't want to go, almost like it wasn't getting gas, or no power not to sure what it was. Did a little bit of research and not sure if I found anything extremely helpful enough for me to figure out my problem.

As of right now, it still misfires or bucks when im at high RPMs, it idles fine, and starts fine.

Like in the title, It's a 98' Ford Ranger, Manual transmission, any info would help a ton! Thanks guys!

That's not a lot to go on. Is the clutch slipping? Could be a fuel delivery problem. Could be a lot of things. You need to narrow it down a bit. Are there any codes?
 






I'd be looking at things fuel delivery related: filter, pump, pickup, pressure regulator and the air filter.
 


















check your ground system for corrosion at connection points also.
