New Ranger for towing
Is anyone using the new Ranger as a tow vehicle ? I am a bit disappointed that the factory tow package did not upgrade either the transmission cooler or radiator. I'm thinking of a trailer with GV...

The Ranger has a 6050 gvwr and the 2wd models have a 3500 rawr.
At 270 hp and 310 torque its better hp/torque numbers than 3/4 ton truck/small blocks I towed with in the past.
Many new F150 has 3300-3400 rawr and less rear axle payload than the Ranger.
Agree don't let the forums weight police scare you away from buying a Ranger...or any truck you want or need at this time.
Fleet Ford weight specs shows a base payload in the 1700-1800 lb range. We all know a highly optioned truck can have a bit less rear axle payload so choose the model best suits your needs.
Rangers like any 1/2 LDT with 3300-3500 rawr is better suited to pull a TT than a 5th wheel rv trailer.
