2021 Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

2021 Ford Ranger Performance 

What helps a truck tow and haul the heaviest loads? There’s nothing more effective than the combination of a powerful engine under the hood, a smooth 10-speed SelectShift® transmission, and a truly tough suspension. The 2021 Ford Ranger has all three of these boxes checked, making it a durable workhorse and a capable adventure companion. 

Across all three available trim levels, the 2021 Ford Ranger features a standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine, which features: 

• 270 horsepower
• 310 lb-ft of torque 
• Auto Start-Stop technology

While the Auto Start-Stop technology helps increase fuel economy, the powerful torque and horsepower give the 2021 Ranger the ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped. The durable frame and independent double A-arm front suspension also help give the Ranger an impressive 1,860-pound maximum payload. 

2021 Ford Ranger Driver-Assistance Technology 

When the sightlines get tough, or the road starts to wind, the driver-assistance features of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ system in the 2021 Ford Ranger will keep your mind at ease. Built to make your towing experience more enjoyable, Trailer Sway Control is standard across all three trims, keeping your trailer between the lines and standing tall.

Standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) kicks in when it senses that your vehicle is on rough roads and automatically increases your Ranger’s traction. 

The 2021 Ranger also features available upgrades in driver assistance to keep your towing situation neat and streamlined, such as: 

• Standard Rear View Camera
• Available Trail Control™ (contains Hill Descent Control™)
• Available Reverse Sensing System
• Available Front Sensing System
