I have a 1997 XLT , 4 cyl. standard Trans. I have pulled 4 Down since new. Key in Ign. to free strg wheel, Transmission in neutral and Brake off. I have 225K miles on it. I don't know how many miles towing. Not One Problem.
Specifically (I just looked at it on a car lot) a 1999 XLT 6 cyl manual 5 speed, step side or style side. Don't know what Ford's nomenclature is. 100,047 miles.
Just went to Remco but they evidently don't go back that far.
Thanks for the responses. I think I will go with the Ford Ranger. What tow gear do most of you use with the Ranger? Or is there a preferance? And in my limited research of the Ranger I found only one mention of the truck's weight and it said the '99 Ranger weighed in at about 3100 pounds. Does that seem accurate? A lot of good information here. Thanks
