This setup also allows for efficient performance on the Irmo streets, with an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway with the 4x2 system and an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 24 mpg highway with the 4x4 system. Unlike the Ford Ranger towing capacity, this pickup’s payload changes based on cab, bed size, drivetrain, and trim level and ranges from 1,430 pounds to 1,860 pounds.
