New member, thinking about buying a 17MKE
Hi folks,
Joining to research the 17MKE. We really love it, and it is a front runner. Just need to better understand folks towing experiences with a truck like ours (2022 Ford Ranger with tow package).

Welcome to the group. The 17mke is a popular compact model. I don't think you will have any issues towing it with the Ranger. I recommend getting a good WDH like the Anderson, Husky..... Payload capacity is what we all run out of first. What those your yellow sticker in your drivers side door say in terms of payload?

Thank you!
That was basically my concern; the cargo capacity from the door jam sticker is 1519lbs. I don't think we'd have more than about 600lbs between two passengers and stuff in the bed so it should work. Our existing WDH is about 70lbs.

I don’t think you will have issues as an occasional camper but long trips over hilly terrain unlikely will be enjoyable

Thanks! It’s close but it “should” work but agree that it may get taxed under certain scenarios. Ugh..
