Rogue Runner Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 We have had our little Toyota Rogue for three years. It has the 22re engine with manual 4-speed transmission. Does anyone have any information on these coaches? I've never seen one on the road. It has decals on back that say "Rogue" and underneath in smaller letters "Ranger Industries".

linda s Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I don't have much info but they made motorhomes form at least 1982 to 87. NADA says 84 to 87 but Derek found a recall from earlier and this pop top is an 83. I do believe your Rogue was their top of the line model. They also made a small pop top that looks a lot like a Sandtana but the top pops up in the front instead of the rear. Here's one with only the Ranger name Linda S And here's a pop top model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Runner Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Linda, Thanks so much for the info and pictures. Interesting that they made a pop top too. Anything else you or others could share would be deeply appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdcnl Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Rogue Runner...we recently purchased an 87 Rogue. Our's has the frame extension on the back and has a storage box as your's does. Did your's come with the frame extension from the factory or did you add it? Our frame was cut and spliced ahead of the rear axle and then had the extension added to the rear of the original frame so I'm wondering if it's factory or was modified by a previous owner.

Derek up North Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 As far as I know, no manufacturer offered the extensions/platforms even as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Runner Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Dvdcnl, Nice looking Rogue you have there! Your interior is similar to ours except we have two swivel chairs and cabinet opposite couch. There's a receptacle in the floor where we can insert a chrome tube for our dining table. As to our storage unit in back, I believe it came from the factory this way. I've seen pictures of Rogues with the same type/size of chest. It's so convenient to store all our various camping and maintenance equipment. The frame extension is exactly how you described. I hope you have lots of fun in your new Rogue. Ours is currently in storage but we can't wait to take it out this summer for a bunch of new adventures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwilliam1 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 That's interesting Derek! I didn't know all frame extensions were aftermarket installations. On my Granville it has a heavy duty 20" extended platform and per my buddy Joe's (hunkaman) suggestion I had diamond plate installed over the entire platform and had a custom tire mount fabricated and welded to the extension to carry a rear dually spare. Not too much extra weight and plenty of extra storage space. Seems Very sturdy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I don't know about that. I found another Rogue for sale right now and a pic of one from the toyota-campers group and they both have the rear extension with a box. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me that everyone we see has the same options and they all look pretty much identical. I've seen lots of boxes added to the rear of other models by the owners and they all look completely different. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well, as I said: "As far as I know.". It could be a coincidence. Maybe one day someone will turn up a brochure that will show that the Rogue was the only one (as far as I know) to offer this. Probably (but who knows) as an option.

Rvdriver Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I also Have one of these, I was wondering if anyone has the manual or knows if theses have aluminum frames, I was working on mine and notices it does have, Did everyone have the Onan generator installed factory, The 2 cylinder ,Same tools box and extended frame, I hope I can answer and get some answers from others in this group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott iv Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Old thread and now new. The old thread questioned whether the box was factory and I see dead giveaways it in fact was. One just has to look at the position of the tail lights and the ladder. Enjoy your motorhome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rvdriver Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Thank You, I'm learning about it as I go, I really do like this layout. Nice to see someone else still here. I'm trying to find a manual so far only a little info here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzpause Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I just purchased a 1986 Rogue and I'm in the process of getting everything working. I'm trying to get info or schematic on the electrical system. There are 2 batteries under the hood but only the main one has anything hooked to it. Any help would be appreciated!

Odyssey 4x4 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 One battery is the “vehicle battery” that powers the headlights and “normal” vehicle functions. That’s the battery that is hooked up. The second battery is the battery for the 12v side of the motor home. This typically powers the lights, water pump, furnace, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
