Motorcycle hauling

Also, would a Ranger even fit 3 motorcycles? Any experience with this?

If you have the space I'd get a cheap ranger, you'd still need a trailer but you might be able to get three bikes into the back. Never tried it.

If you have any transmission issues in the future and you have a tow hook, I doubt Subaru will cover your warranty claim.

I do have the space, fortunately. The ranger would be outside, but I frankly don't care.

Why would I need a trailer with the Ranger?

>>15619848
If you can't fit 3 bikes in the bed of the ranger, that is.

>>15619718
I don't think a ranger could fit 3 baikus in the bed. Go for an older F series preferably without a Triton engine

I thought the Modular V8 was well regarded? Any detail as to why I should stay away from a Triton engine?

I could go for a Chebby too

They are good for the most part, but extremely hard to change spark plugs. desu imo I would prefer an f series from previous gen.

all of those have been turned into mud trucks by 17 year olds

It's obvious to tell which ones these are. Several just sit in the garages of retired boomers

this man speaks the truth. But if you can find any most of them have solid motors and has a really solid 6 speed auto. Stay away from the 4.3 v6, it's not bad but i don't know hwy anyone would want it. Same gas mileage as the v8 but less power.

If you can find one of those owned by a boomer get it. Just hope he doesn't >know what he's got

>>15619987

fuck boomers

But for a truck with low miles and the right price I'd talk to them

You aren't going to be able to to haul 3+ motorcycles at a time. Ignoring the fact that the ball and socket joint rating maxes out at 750 lbs, your frame maxes out at 1000 of hitch rating, and the suspension itself would be bottomed out entirely. it cant be done my friend

Tongue weight of a motorcycle trailer is like 60 lbs???

Thanks for all the advice everyone but I'm finding so many clean C/K1500s with v8s around here for like the same price as newer Rangers.

I think that if I am going to go through the trouble of a second vehicle, I might as well maximize the utility.
