Realistic TT tow weight for an 2001 3.0 Ranger XLT auto?
I get that a newer truck is in my future but just for conversation what could I haul?
Forum Discussion
Those specs are "interesting." My 3.0 is getting 150hp @ 14:1 CR. Talk about maxed out! Note too "Turning diameter 39.8 to 41.1 feet" In reality, I'd guess it at more like 100-200' Combine that with my utter inability to back up even in a straight line ... not good. Best was this:
"Fuel Economy (preliminary estimates)
2.5L manual 3.0L auto
Highway 34.0 27.8 25.0
City 25.5 18.9 17.7
I got vehicle @ 50K and now have 110K. I get 10-11 in town with AC on.
Towing # is 4114 less 1260 payload = 2854 ?
No way I want to be maxed out. Looking at a Ford E250. I can use the extra payload covered up. Thanks all.
