I purchased a 2025 Lariat without a trailer hitch. Has anyone added a hitch to their Ranger after purchase? If so, do you have any recommendations? I don't have any specific towing needs, but I like having the capability to pull a small utility trailer or a U-Haul trailer should the need arise. Ford offers a dealer-installed Trailer Receiver Hitch for $650.00, plus installation labor.

Thanks!

Our municipality has purchased a new 2026 Ranger. Looking to upfit with a light bar but would prefer not to mount to the roof. On our other Ford trucks we have installed a Backrack and mounted a light to that, but I'm having issues finding a decent backrack or roll bar that won't break the bank. Anyone have any recommendations?

To start this thread off, I have a 26 Ranger XLT with the large screen rear, steps, 2.73 :1 with electric locker, 7K towing package with the bells and whistles for the fun of it. I love the 2.7 twin turbo engine. I still have a hard time deciding how to describe the Marsh Grey paint. I do really like that with all the black accents and the changes light causes. Everything from a lite olive to a grey depending on the ambient light. I have rather large feet and discovered that my boot top can hit the footwell air vent when I go from throttle to break so have to remember to roll my foot instead of doing a full lift on the gas. I also have to keep my foot clear of the gas when breaking as the petals are close together. So far all non events. I miss numbers for oil pressure and battery voltage. With all the computing power in this little truck we should be able to set limits to alarms Low oil, high water temp, boost, intake air temp MY list is LONG just the basics would be nice or a module that would allow control panel arrangement with alarms either flashing gauges. The truck is quiet not like the buzz boxes they were 5 years ago. I discovered that the electronics package will eat the battery if you don't drive often with everything turned on. I am fortunate that I don't have to drive anywhere locally to stay alive so am thinking about adding a battery tender to keep the battery topped off.. Does anyone know what the electrical load of the electronics suite in this truck is? My thought is a 14 gauge wire to the rear of the truck to the battery with a fuse at the battery to prevent shorts becoming fire. I use a battery tender on my 50 F1 and my wife's car as well with three cars and two of us we don't drive much so I discovered week 4 of ownership the battery will discharge quickly if not driven for a distance now and then. I am thinking of adding a bulkhead SAE connector in the rear bumper to prevent pulling the wires out of the truck when I forget. anybody have a better option? Also I wonder if there is a hot wire in the rear of the truck?
