Just saw the new Ranger has a max payload of 1860 lbs but only rated for 7500 lbs towing
They FINALLY listed towing & payload specs. Ford has been pushing pre-ordering the new Ranger without towing & payload specs ANYWHERE!
Actually 1860 payload and 7500 towing isn't that bad, ratio-wise.
My older truck based Explorer is rated 1574 payload and 5225 towing.
And the only Ranger engine is an Eco boost 4 cylinder! SWMBO Wwont even remotely consider a 4 banger of any kind for towing. I'm having a hard enough time convincing her a 6 cylinder Eco Boost can do the job! For my next vehicle.
