2024 Ford Ranger Towing Capability

We want to start off this article by cutting right to the chase, and filling you in on the specifics of the Ford Ranger’s towing and hauling abilities! This truck’s standard towing capacity starts you out at a respectable 5,510 pounds, but you can easily bump that up to an even more impressive 7,500 pounds with the help of the available Trailer Tow Package! Along with this towing capacity, the 2024 Ford Ranger also features a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,805 pounds. So, what kinds of gear can you tow with a 7,500-pound capacity? You can confidently tow larger trailers such as RVs, horse trailers, U-Hauls, and more!

Now, we want to break down the various powertrain options that give the Ford Ranger its muscle! The standard engine for the 2024 is the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine rated at 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. However, there’s also another available option that’s reserved for the Raptor trim, which is the off-road focused Ford Ranger model! For the Raptor, you can expect a more powerful 2.7-liter V6 engine rated at 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. For the majority of the 2024 Ford Ranger lineup, rear-wheel drive comes standard, and 4-wheel drive is available. The Raptor is the exception, which comes with standard 4-wheel drive.

In addition to the powertrain options, there are many other features that add to the Ford Ranger’s towing abilities! There are several tech features that enhance the Ranger’s towing power, and make towing heavy loads an easy task. For example, there’s Pro-Trailer Backup Assist, which will help you easily drive your truck and your trailer in reverse. There’s also a Trailer Brake Controller so that you can confidently bring your trailer to a stop at the same time as your Ranger. Other towing tech features include Tow Mode, which will keep your transmission from shifting too frequently, and the Blind-Spot Information System (BLIS), to help you stay aware of your surroundings.
