pucamping, its a 4.0, 5 speed manual 2WD, crew cab. max GW is around 4700 lbs I think it says, so as a 1/2T rated vehicle it will be up there. The 93 on rangers were/are heavier than the models before them.
The guy I got the MH from gave me the 6000lb tow assy, is having the braking assy removed from his tow vehicle and is going to send to me in a couple of days.
My 95 was a 3.0 5spd 2WD reg cab long bed. Had a color matched snug top (cayman pearl) and carpet kit in it. Doesn't seem like it was that heavy, oh well. It was my first "rv" in that I went camping and slept in it. I owned it for 13 years and put 275k trouble free miles on it, it was a good truck. Finally got rid of it when my needs changed, I needed something that would reliably get me 105mi RT to work with good gas mileage. Several thousand worth of work was stacking up and it just did not seem prudent to make a major investment in it. (new cat converter, rear end, seats, seat belts, gauges, possible engine work, clutch, etc). I wish I had room to keep it here, but my house and property are small, and with 3 kids I have no time to tinker.
