I had a crazy idea to one day turn my old ford ranger into a tow truck. Your video is the only thing close to what i wanna do. I wanna put a boom in mine like a classic “sling truck” (pretty sure thats the right name). Thank you for sharing your awesome creation!!
Wow I was thinking about building the sane kind if setup to haul zero turn mowers! How far did you stretch the frame? How does it handle with the frame that long?
@@tmoore3280 that makes sense. I was wondering what to do with the puny ranger axle and suspension. I was considering lengthening the frame behind the drive axle and adding another helper axle. I like your idea much better! Also I am gone do a Mercedes diesel engine swap!

the entire back half from cab back is a f150 so even hauling a small car it drives really well
