Ford Ranger Maximum Towing Capacity

This truck is ready to carry all the gear you need. The 2021 Ford Ranger has a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds when properly equipped. If you’ve got gear to haul, the maximum payload capacity reaches 2,080 pounds with the right setup.

Know that your Ranger is Built Ford Tough®. This means that Ford engineers have tested the trailering capabilities of this truck through grueling terrain, including steep grades, off-roading conditions, and extreme weather.

So, wherever your adventures take you, know that your truck is designed to tow in a variety of conditions.

Powerful Engine That Performs Strong

Ford designed a truck with a powerful performance so you can get around effortlessly, even if you’ve got gear to tow. The 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine packs quite a punch. With 270 horsepower and a torque rating of 310 lb-ft, you’ve got plenty of power to haul your trailer or other heavy gear.

The driving experience is smooth sailing for every passenger on board. The 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, featuring Ford-patented technology, optimizes gear progressions. This delivers smooth, quick shifting throughout the gearbox.

Towing Features to Set You Up for Success

The design of the 2021 Ranger is meant to optimize your towing experience, no matter the terrain you may be driving on. The high-strength steel frame and frame-mounted steel bumpers are there to help protect your vehicle.

The suspension system will have you sailing over rough roads. The double A-arm independent front suspension is engineered for control over rugged off-road terrain. The shock absorbers are designed for fade resistance and heat dissipation. They also add enhanced shock-damping consistency thanks to being nitrogen gas-pressurized.

If you find yourself wanting to frequent the rugged road less traveled, the available Tremor Off-Road package can transform your Ranger into a specialized off-roading machine. The package includes:

• Magnetic Alloy wheels
• Heavy-duty off-road suspension
• Front and rear tow hooks
• Trail Control™
• Terrain Management System™

This package will maximize the performance of your Ford Ranger while providing added durability and safety for the always-changing off-roading conditions. So, if you want to take off with your trailer to somewhere remote, the Ranger has your back.
