2019 Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

If any truck could be said to have lit the fire of excitement and anticipation this year, it's been the Ford Ranger. Few vehicles have the kind of legacy and reputation that the Ranger does, and its return has been hailed with a great deal of enthusiasm-and not just in the Harrisburg, Carlisle, and Mechanicsburg areas-but all over the country. After a decade of being away, the Ranger is back with the power and performance to back up its return.

One of the most important factors of any pickup truck is power. How much can it haul and tow? This question has been on the minds of everyone waiting for the new Ranger, so let's explore the 2019 Ford Ranger's towing capacity, as well as how much cargo it can haul-whether you're on the work site or heading on a road trip with the family.

Ford Ranger EcoBoost® Engine

The Ford Ranger boasts an impressive towing capacity, but as with any truck, that largely comes down to its engine and configurations. In this case, a powerful 2.3L EcoBoost® engine puts out 270 horsepower and is matched by up to 310 lb-ft of torque via a 10-speed automatic transmission. It provides all the power you need to tow and haul. In fact, it offers best-in-class power and performance for a gasoline engine.

Configurations and Towing Options

You can also choose from two configurations: a SuperCab with a 6-foot bed and a SuperCrew® with a 5-foot bed. Of course, if you're planning to use your truck for towing, you should opt for the Trailer Tow Package. This optional add-on gives you a 4-pin/7-pin wiring harness and a Class IV trailer hitch receiver. Both of these are must-haves if you want to maximize the towing abilities of the truck.

Another good option for towing is the Off-Road Package. This one gives you an off-road tuned suspension, electronic-locking rear axle, and features that will boost your towing capabilities, like Trail Control™ and a Terrain Management System™. Together, these two packages will give you the best in towing and trailblazing capabilities.

2019 Ford Ranger Towing Capacity and Payload

When you put the right configuration together with the power of its engine and combine it with a high-strength steel frame, the Ranger offers best-in-class towing among gasoline engine trucks. The 4-wheel drive version of the Ranger can tow up to a maximum of 7,500 pounds. 

The power doesn't stop there, either. It also has an outstanding payload capacity, also among the best in class. The new Ford Ranger can haul a maximum payload of 1,860 pounds in its bed. That means it can take a lot of furniture, gear, or equipment wherever you need it to go.
