  • I towed a Ford Ranger all over the U.S. The only reason why I sold it was because we needed more seating when taking friends out for dinner or something.
  • You can check for sure at remcotowing.com - their application chart will let you look up your specific year and model for an answer to your question.
  • Towed a 2001 Ranger 4cyl 5spd for several years cross country with no modifications. Never had a prooblem. Installed bulb kits in tailight's and Blue Ox baseplate. Took about a full day for all the work. Unlock the steering wheel, shift into neutral and your ready. No fuses to pull. Probably one of the better vehicles available to tow.
  • Absolutely.....I tow my 03 5 speed all over......buy a blue ox baseplate if you have a blue ox tow bar...easy as pie....
