A couple of weeks ago, I had the van serviced here at Warrnambool & was told my hitch bolts had come loose - the serviceman tightened them up.

For what its worth I have confirmed with Ford Aust that if towing a heavy caravan with a Ford Ranger you need to be doing in in S mode not D. Takes out of play 6 Gear.. We have had three Ford Techs tell us to ensure we do this or we will end up replacing a gear box at $15 ,000. This may be old news to some it was not to...
