2024 Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

Choosing a midsize pickup instead of a full-size model doesn’t have to feel like a compromise. Midsize trucks are more efficient and more maneuverable, and that makes them perfect for shoppers who need to commute through (or park on) busy city streets. Plus, the 2024 Ford Ranger towing capacity is more than sufficient for the needs of most drivers in the Edwardsville area.

With the ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped, the latest Ford Ranger can easily handle the vast majority of common towing tasks. Whether you need to move a camper, a fishing boat, or a trailer loaded down with outdoor toys, you can count on the Ranger to get the job done right.

What’s Included with the Ranger Tow Package?

The Trailer Tow Package is standard on Raptor models and optional on all other configurations—and you’ll need to make sure it’s equipped if you want to reach the maximum 2024 Ford Ranger towing capacity. It includes a 4-pin/7-pin wiring harness and a Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver.

If you plan to do a lot of heavy lifting in St. Louis or Collinsville, then it’s a good idea to upgrade to the XLT (4×2 or 4×4) or the Lariat (4×2). These models are available with the Advanced Towing Package, which nets you a Trailer Brake Controller and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
