What is the maximum towing capacity of a Ford Ranger?

I am considering purchasing a Ford Ranger and want to know how much weight it can tow. I plan on using it for hauling heavy loads and want to make sure it can handle what I need.

The towing capacity of a Ford Ranger varies depending on the engine and transmission. The maximum towing capacity of a 2020 Ford Ranger with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic transmission is 7,500 lbs.

I have a 2019 Ford Ranger with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic transmission and have towed up to 6,000 lbs without any issues. I would recommend staying within the recommended towing capacity to ensure safe and efficient towing.

As a Ford Ranger owner for over five years, I highly recommend investing in a weight distribution hitch when towing near or at the maximum capacity. It helps distribute the weight more evenly and makes for a smoother ride.
