So got out of my car this afternoon, dropped something, and saw this for the first time since I bought the car three months ago. What it is that reduced the towing capacity?
In reading it closer, I guess it is 'carrying capacity' that has been reduced, not towing.
I am looking at buying another ranger. Miss my 02 so much and my son will be 16 in a year or so. Thinking about getting us a 4x4 to share and ditching my full size Dodge.
I located an 04 FX4 II, and I was hoping to get some info and confirmation on a few things. I believe that all the FX4 had a 4.10 rear end. True?
What the exact towing capacity of the 4x4 FX4 is? My 02 (2wd) had a capacity at like 5200lbs, I am just wondering if this is the same number for the 04 4x4?
what is the towing capacity for my truck. 2007 F-150 4X2, V-8, 4.6L engine Supercab.
View 9 RepliesThe specs says 23gl in total capacity. However, the last couple times I filled up gas, it was 19+ gl I put in with about 20+miles indicated on screen before filling up. So it means ~21gl in total capacity? I assume with 20+ miles left = ~2 gl of gasoline. I know the calculation is rough?
View 7 RepliesThe manual for the 450H does not agree with what I am experiencing.
1. The Manual says the fuel capacity is 17 gal, but with an empty tank the most I can put the tank is around 14 gallons. What is the real capacity, and why does the manual say 1y7 gallons.
2. For my 450H with 19 inch wheels the manual says tire pressure should be 33 psi. However, when delivered from the factory the tire were 39 psi. What should the tire capacity be?
There seems to examples throughout the manual of conflicting information.
I know the towing capacity of a 2014 RX with tow package is 3500lbs. Im curious to know would I be Able to actually tow , 1500 lbs 2 motorcycles plus small trailer safely and efficiently without causing damage to the vehicle?
View 3 RepliesI keep mine at 35.5 PSI. The door jamb sticker states 33 PSI.
After driving a few miles it climbs to 38-39 PSI (it was almost 85 deg. today while driving).
I've got a 2010 GTI with the stock stereo. When I am using my iPhone via my iPod dock, the sound quality is good until I turn the volume up a bit (loud, but not blasting). Often it's a song that's a little bassier (hence why I'm turning it up), and it seems like after a second or two I can hear the bass levels dropping, almost like it's tuning it down. It also seems like if I mute for a second or two, and then unmute, the bass is back for a few seconds before it ramps down again. The volume levels don't seem like they'd be damaging the speakers, but is this something that it's doing to protect the speakers? Or am I just losing it?
View 1 RepliesNoticed that the engine oil volume for the GS350 AWD is larger than for the RWD car.
I am guessing this extra oil goes to the front diff, as Lexus tells me the front diff oil cannot be replaced.
I have a 2010 ford edge. The last two times I tried to fill the gas tank, the nozzle on the pump shuts off as if the tank is full. The tank has not reached it's capacity. I have to "dribble" the gas into the tank, and even then it seems to be backing up the pipe. A simple two-minute fill takes ten minutes.
View 3 RepliesI'I have a 2010 Ranger sport 4x4 that I use to tow a popup camper. IT does the job well and still gets about 16mpg towing! My problem is the ridiculously tall reverse gear in this thing that is making my clutch very sad. When backing my camper into my driveway I have to slip the clutch pretty bad.
I would like to be able to disconnect the front axle actuator somehow and use the low range in 2wd for backing up into my driveway.
My owners manual for my 2010 Prius says speeds over 85mph can result in severe engine damage. It also states you should not pull any type of trailer, but I have seen a few Prius's with trailer hitches but I would not try it.
View 13 RepliesI am beginning the process of setting up my gx for towing. It is a 2004 with KDSS. I have all the front two relays and wiring harness, but I have run into a problem with the rear towing relay- the relay that goes near the driver side rear tail light. I purchased what I thought was the proper relay part number 81985-60021. The problem is that the relay does not appear to be the proper fit for what I think is the plug that it belongs to. I have supplied a pic of the relay end and the plastic white thing that the plug in the back of the vehicle was plugged into. They are obviously not the same, but there is nothing else in the area that the relay would plug into.

View 4 RepliesThe car does not come with towing package. Bought and installed 3 relays; 2 under the hood, one in the back. I connected hard wired TOW READY 20137 to the trucks' wiring system, checked voltage, nothing. Checked relays under the hood and and the back by the rear light, I could hear the clicking from them. Do I need to connect under dash brake controller too in order the wiring to active the wiring system ? Why this is happening
View 2 RepliesI just took delivery of my Prius a few days ago, and I noticed a rectangular sticker on the inside of the windshield when I got home It is black (from the inside), and it is located in the top - left corner (when viewed from inside) It looks like it may be an RFID tag possibly something from the port to track vehicles as they are coming in?
View 5 RepliesSo the previous owner of my V10 Ex had all the plugs changed and some of the coils needed to be changed at the same time.
Some have a yellow sticker on them. Some are plain black. The yellow ones say "Motorcraft" plainly on them.
The black ones look identical to the ones on my wife's Duratec 3.0L V6 in our Mazda MPV. They also have a Motorcraft part number on them.
I have a 2000 Ranger
The door sticker has an axle code 97
What is the gear ratio?
I am looking to replace the 4x4 offroad sticker on the side of the bed and wanted to know the dimensions. I've been looking on eBay because dealer wants way too much for stickers. just want to make sure I get the correct size.
View 5 RepliesI am looking to reduce the weight on my rear suspension. I have H&R springs and I rub on bumps. Fenders need to be rolled but the inside of the tire is being rubbed on the strut housing. My subwoofer box doesnt work for my situation either, saw a thread already about this but he was recommended coils. I rather not go that route. Ive already removed the rear seats(foldable part, bench is still there) ...
View 1 RepliesHow much fuel consumption would decrease (MPG increase) for a 10% reduction in tire rolling resistance?
My thinking is that if you're not doing much freeway mileage then the rolling resistance and air resistance are probably about equal contributions. So in a kind of oversimplified calculation I guess that a 10% RR reduction could give up to a 5% reduction in fuel consumption? Sounds like a bit of a over-estimate.
