Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

Midsize pickups are some of the most versatile vehicles on the roadways-locally and nationally-for a number of different reasons. One of the most important factors that weighs heavily in determining the level of versatility offered by a pickup is the towing capacity it is equipped to provide.

In this piece, our team here at Crest Ford will cover the towing capacity of a prominent midsize pickup-the Ford Ranger. Read on to learn more about the 2021 Ford Ranger towing capacity and see if the truck could be a fit for you around Detroit, Sterling Heights, and Warren, MI.

Ranger Engine Size and Outputs

Before we dive into the towing capacity provided by the Ford Ranger, it is first important to cover the engine found under the truck's hood. This will prove to be the most important factor in determining corresponding towing capability.

So, under the hood, you will find a 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine. This engine will prove quite powerful, pumping out 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Distributing this force is a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, which will provide seamless gear shifting as well as efficient acceleration.

Towing With the Ranger

With this engine under the hood, the 2021 Ranger comes ready to tow a sizable load. To be exact, this truck boasts a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. With this, you will have the ability to tow a fairly large trailer while behind the wheel of this Ford pickup.

What can I tow with 7,500 pounds of towing capacity?

So, what exactly can you tow with 7,500 pounds of towing capacity on your side? Like we said, this capacity will allow you to haul a sizable trailer. Maybe you're headed up to the lake for the weekend and want to take your boat. Alternatively, you could be looking to take your 4-wheelers out for a spin. You could also just need to haul home a new tractor.

In any of these circumstances, you will have plenty of muscle to get the job done.

Ranger Towing Technology

As you get ready to tow with the Ranger, you will also be happy to learn that the truck offers plenty of technology that will work to make your hauling experience safe and easy.
