The Ford Ranger is a very capable midsize truck. With the proper equipment, any Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds. However, payload capabilities vary according to body size and equipment. SuperCabs with rear-wheel drive have the most muscle in this department, helping you haul up to 1,905 pounds.
Every Ranger comes with the same powertrain setup:
- Turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
- Optional four-wheel drive
When you choose the XLT or Lariat (as well as the SuperCrew cabin and four-wheel drive), you can also add the Tremor Off-Road package, which helps you travel deep into the wild, with features that include:
- 32-inch all-terrain tires
- Off-road-specific Fox shocks
- Extra 0.8 inch ground clearance
- Underbody protection
