2010 Ranger, 4 cyl., manual trans. no frills everything.
Base curb weight, 3,030lb
Payload capacity, 1,260lb
GVWR, 4,380lb
Ranger 3030
Rampage 350
Ultra 827
That puts me at 4,207lb with the Ultra and 3,900 with FXR. Still below my 5,000 lb MH hitch rating. I travel with the least amount of weight with the Ranger 1/4 tank of fuel etc. Our coach was 4 corner weighed and i am 600lb under on a 22,000lb Ford F53 chassis.
Bought it 4yr ago for a toad and MC hauler from a Ford dealer with 86,000 well cared for Florida miles & 1 owner. Only thing i've done to it in the 4yr's is a battery, tires (higher load rating Hannoks) and coil pack plus the normal maintenance. Oh i did add aftermarket carpet, new radio and speakers. Never thought i'd need/want a truck but boy am i glad i did.
When we camp and don't bring the Bike the truck bed comes in handy for toys and stuff.
When reasearching the rampage lift i gave them a call and was told many have been put in Rangers.
The picture with the bike is before i did the suspension upgrades.
