2020 Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

2020 Ford Ranger Towing

Opting for a midsize truck doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice towing capabilities on the Columbia roads. Take the 2020 Ford Ranger towing capacity as a prime example. The 2020 Ranger is a midsize truck that can tow a remarkable 7,500 pounds, remaining consistent with the 2019 Ford Ranger towing capacity. When you factor in the Ranger’s ultimate efficiency and best-in-class payload rating of 1,860 pounds, Irmo drivers will be jumping at the chance to get behind the wheel. Here, Jim Hudson Ford breaks down the specifics on the Ford Ranger towing capacity.

Ford Ranger Performance and Towing

Across the lineup, the Ford Ranger towing capacity remains the same at 7,500 pounds. A standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine rated at 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque makes this rating possible, along with your choice of 4x2 or 4x4 systems, cabins, and bed sizes. While the latter options don’t influence towing, they do determine how much you can haul, so Chapin drivers who need the ability to load the truck bed and tow large loads will want to pay attention to the variations. This strength is complemented by true efficiency, as the Ranger offers an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.

Wondering how the Ford Ranger accomplishes so much? These features help to boost the Ranger’s performance:

  • Trailer Sway Control
  • Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly (ESOF) with Neutral Towing Capability (4x4 only)
  • Trailer towing - 4-pin wiring, ball mounting provisions in the rear bumper
  • Electronic Power-Assist Steering (EPAS) Electric Motor
  • Available Hill Descent Control™ within Trail Control™ system

Ford Ranger: Built Ford Tough®

Why can the Ford Ranger tow such heavy loads? It’s largely thanks to its Built Ford Tough® status, achieved by conquering various grueling trials, one of which involved towing on extremely steep grades. Every truck in the Ford lineup wears this badge proudly, and the 2020 Ford Ranger is no exception.
