Ford Ranger Towing Capacity & Payload
The Ford Ranger is known for capability in a compact package, and this truck delivers on both towing and payload.
If we start with the maximum conventional towing, we find this model tops out at 7,500 pounds-a hefty figure that makes it easy for families to bring trailers up to their favorite camping spot.
In addition to this, the maximum payload capacity measures a hefty 2,080 pounds, giving you plenty of options on how to divvy up cargo. What makes these figures even more impressive is the relatively meager curb weight of this muscular truck, which measures just 4,145 pounds.
Performance Specifications
You'll quickly find the 2020 Ford Ranger moves with ease, thanks to a thumping engine and array of performance-boosting features.
This engine is a 2.3L EcoBoost® that can capably generate 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is another strength, as this truck touts an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG in 4x2 configuration and 20 city/24 highway MPG in 4x4 configuration.
A large reason these efficiency figures are so high is because the Ford Ranger features standard Auto Start/Stop Technology. This setup means your engine will shut off when you're not in motion, such as at a stoplight. It does this as you press and hold the brake pedal. Once you begin to release the pedal, the motor jumps to life and you can begin cruising freely again.
As for the transmission, an electronic 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard and deftly transitions you from one gear to the next.
Chassis Specifications
The framework of the Ford Ranger is finely tuned to support travels that lead off-road or through rugged, unpaved worksites.
The front suspension is headlined by an independent short long arm and tubular stabilizer bar. As for the rear, Hotchkiss-type non-independent live, leaf springs and outboard shock absorbers provide esteemed comfort.
Both the front and rear shocks are gas-pressurized, and the brakes sport AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control in addition to power disc brakes, so you can maintain a firm grip on the pavement and the unpaved, as well.
