What is the recommended towing capacity for a Ford Ranger?

I am planning to use my Ford Ranger for some heavy towing. What is the recommended towing capacity for this vehicle? Will it be able to handle large loads without putting too much strain on the engine?

The recommended towing capacity for the Ford Ranger depends on the specific model and year. Generally, it can tow anywhere from 3,500 lbs to 7,500 lbs. It is important to consult your vehicle's manual to determine the exact towing capacity for your specific Ranger model.

As a former Ford technician, I would recommend staying within the lower end of the towing capacity to avoid potential strain on the engine and transmission. Make sure to also properly distribute the weight of the load and use the appropriate hitch and towing equipment.
