2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 4WD Automatic
Has anyone used a Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 4WD Automatic as a tow vehicle for a TT? I look up the specifications and they are rated to tow around #5,800 and I am curious if any one has some experience ...

I pulled a 3500# Trailmanor 3023 all over the US with a 1999 4.0 Ranger. The '04 model has the OHC engine with more horsepower. I was satisfied with the Ranger towing. And I got the same MPG with that rig as I do with the '13 Ford 6.7 diesel towing a 10k mid-profile 5ver. What I really liked about that truck - small enough to go almost anywhere. Very capable for it's size/ability. I'd consider trying a 19-22' trailer but that's about it. The great thing on that Trailmanor was the low profile.
BTW - Also pulled a pop-up with a Ford Aerostar like one of the other posters. It was a AWD model. Don't recall the gearing any more but it was very comfortable, satisfactory power and milage.
