How to increase the payload capacity of a Ford Ranger?

I recently inherited a Ford Ranger and I love using it for hauling things around. However, I've noticed that it doesn't have as much payload capacity as I would like. Is there anything I can do to increase it?

You can consider upgrading the suspension system of your Ford Ranger to support a heavier load. This could involve installing heavier springs or adding air bags to the rear axle.

Another option is to add a bed extender or cargo rack to your Ford Ranger. This can provide additional space for hauling larger items.

If you often haul items that are longer than the bed of the truck, you can also consider installing a trailer hitch and using a trailer to carry the load.
