the badger some how in my mind Ive been thinking about buying another daily driver,well reason being I figure I can drop a 302 in this and put the whole mustang drivetrain and interior in it and be able to tow....How hard is this swap over I can get my hands on a mustang now if I need to and cut it up....

power wouldn't be your problem definately. might want to re-inforce the frame, box it in all the way back. and def. better brakes. prolly not worth it to make it a tower it being a standard cab light truck.


i've towed jet skiis and a truck with my 01 ranger xcab, neither trailers had brake assist, so it was really hard to stop especially when towing the truck.

^^ agreed i used to tow a 17' sea ray ad man was braking a Dutch Hater!! xcab v6. but the 302 sounds bad wanus. im sure youll figure something out. just some advice if you get another daily dont make it another mini cuz i can see this happening over and over again!
my dance skills are so premium. i believe this is why so many women want to be carnal with me.

i tow my ranger w/ my ranger, but granted its a fx4 w/ towing package and 4:10 gears. definatly put some helperbags and 4x4 springs in the rear, also an explorer rear end and some drilled/slotted rotors(actully will work when towing to disipate heat) and some really kickass pads.
