Knapheide intros service body for Ford Ranger (VIDEO)

Knapheide has big news for fans of the 2019 Ford Ranger.

First up is their all aluminum service body built for the Super Cab model of the midsize truck.

Next is their announcement of an upcoming aluminum flatbed.

“That opens up a whole other realm of applications,” Mike Soich, Knapheide’s Southwest regional sales manager, says in the video below.

While Soich wouldn’t divulge much of the yet-to-be-revealed flatbed, he did give us a tour of the six-foot service body.

Like the Ranger itself, Knapheide’s body has composite fenders. The bed floor gets a boost in strength thanks to interlocking, extruded aluminum panels. Two-stage locks help keep tool box doors more secure. Lights inside the boxes can be controlled by an upfitter switch the Knapheide has added to the driver’s side panel just below the dash.

The aluminum body is complemented by an aluminum understructure which helps keep weight down on the Ranger which has best-in-class payload at 1,860 pounds with a standard pickup bed. That payload drops some with the Knapheide body, but not much.

“I mentioned earlier that this vehicle has tremendous payload capacity. It does. We have weighed this vehicle. We have certified this vehicle with an upfit. It has over 1,700 pounds of payload on a vehicle this size in the midsize market,” Soich said.

Besides its lower sticker price and better fuel economy over full-size pickups, Soich said the Ranger may appeal to fleets looking for a smaller truck that will get around better in areas where space is limited.

How to adjust CTL track tension (VIDEO)

It’s one of the simpler maintenance chores you can do, but adjusting the tension on the tracks of your compact track loader is critically important. If your tracks get too loose, they may spool off the undercarriage and put you in a bind – replacing tracks in the field takes at least two people and often auxiliary equipment. If your tracks are too tight, they can damage the undercarriage and lead to premature wear. We teamed with Leland Garrison, service technician at Thompson Tractor in Birmingham, Alabama, for a quick lesson on the proper way to tension the tracks on a Cat CTL. Note that different brands of CTLs will have different ways to accomplish this task, so consult your owner’s manual or your dealer and follow their instructions for the brand of machine you have. And don’t miss our video of this guide below where Garrison takes you through each step of this process. 1. Jack up the machine Raise one side of the machine with a jack and place a suitably rated jack under...
