Towing Capacity by Engine
Your engine determines your base towing limit across engine, cab, drivetrain, axle ratio, GCWR, and tow package. Start here to see the 2019 ratings for your specific Ranger setup.
Ranger ratings are conventional (bumper-pull) only. Start with engine, then use the chart to narrow cab, drivetrain, axle ratio, and tow package.
