What’s the Towing Capacity of the 2020 Ford Ranger?
The gasoline-powered 2020 Ford Ranger has a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds when properly equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, which comes with:
- 4-pin/7-pin wiring harness
- Class IV trailer hitch receiver
With this capability, you can pull a lightweight camper trailer, water ski boat, or midsize sailboat for your adventures in the bay.
Additionally, the Ranger has one engine option: a 2.3L EcoBoost® with 10-speed automatic transmission and Tow/Haul mode. With this drivetrain, you’ll be able to take on any type of road with ease.
Plus, it allows you to take advantage of this truck’s maximum towing capacity, no matter which trim level you choose—as long as it’s properly equipped with the aforementioned towing package.
2020 Ford Ranger Performance Specs
The 2.3L EcoBoost® engine offers 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque to get you and your load where you need to go.
Plus, it’s fuel-efficient, with an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG. You can save even more fuel, thanks to Auto Start-Stop Technology, which turns the engine off when you come to a stop, automatically restarting it when you release the brake.
While the Ranger works hard, it plays hard, too. In fact, you can take this truck on just about any terrain, thanks to its available off-roading packages. With included features like a Terrain Management System™, even the hilliest environments are no match for this pickup truck.
Safe Towing on the Highway
In addition to its towing and performance capabilities, the 2020 Ford Ranger offers safety features to help you drive with more peace of mind when you’re towing a trailer.
For instance, Ford makes it easier to change lanes on the interstate, even when you’re pulling a trailer behind you. The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage not only lets you know when a vehicle is in your truck’s blind spot before you merge, it also lets you know if there’s something next to the trailer you’re towing.
This pickup truck also comes with trailer sway control to help prevent your truck and trailer from rolling. This feature increases stability on the road by applying the brakes to individual wheels when needed, as well as reducing engine power to slow you down.
It also lets you know when it senses trailer sway, so you can slow down and check your trailer load distribution if needed.
