Newbie Long time Ranger owner First Explorer

[Tuckin Eh]

hey people. My Name's Matt from Windsor Ontario Canada. I'm no stranger to the Blue oval. i've owned 5 Rangers in my life and currenly still own one.( its a show truck) I lost my daily driven ranger in a flood recently and went in search of another one. however I'm getting married in september and I figured an explorer would be a bit more practical. as a family vehicle and they share many things with a ranger anyways. i just recently bought this one. 98 Sport 4.0L 4x4 fully loaded. everything but leather and a sunroof.

however I'm not too familiar with the tow rating on these guys. would it be able to tow my ext cab ranger show truck and trailor? or a 22 foot boat and trailor?

here's a couple pictures of my Ranger for those that care. bagged and bodydropped

i may recognise some of you if any of you are registered on rangerpowersports.com because i know they have an explorer and sport trac section there. i still figured an explorer owner should belong to an explorer forum. look forward to a good experience on these boards.

Welcome to this forum! Post some pictures of the suspension on the lowered Ranger.

welcome.
you might be able to pull the ranger on a trailer if its short trips, but i wouldn't do much highway, 22' boat i would guess it can do as thats what, 4000 at most? the ranger might push it though since on a trailer id guess about 6000.

awesome ranger by the way.
and ya, some more suspension info on that ranger would be sweet.
