Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

The Ford Ranger is a tough, reliable, midsize pickup. It’s built to get up and over anything that stands in its way and it delivers a safe, stable drive when you need it most. Not only is it designed to power through the elements, but it’s powerful enough to carry lots of heavy cargo, too.

So, just how much can it haul? The Ford Store Morgan Hill finds out. To show truck lovers in Morgan Hill, San Jose, and Gilroy, CA, what it’s capable of, we decided to take a closer look at the 2022 Ford Ranger towing capacity.

Ford Ranger Towing & Specs

The 2022 Ford Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped.¹ With that kind of performance, you can hitch everything from an ATV to a camper, livestock trailer, or boat to your truck. That versatility makes it a great choice for families, off-road enthusiasts, and businesses.

To provide you with that impressive towing capacity, the 2022 Ranger runs on a 2.3L EcoBoost® engine. This powertrain is standard across all trims and delivers 270 horsepower and a best-in-class 310 lb-ft of torque.² A dynamic 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission is also standard to manage all that power and to help you get your cargo anywhere you need to go.

Trailering Features

On top of offering the power to tow a trailer, the 2022 Ford Ranger makes towing easy for you. It starts with a 4/7-pin trailer hitch wiring harness. While that makes hooking things up quick and convenient, the Ranger also offers tons of trailering tech, including:³

• Rear View Camera
• Trailer Sway Control
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage
• AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™)

The Rear View Camera makes lining up your tow hitch a breeze by featuring Dynamic Hitch Assist and a backup assist grid right on the display.³ Meanwhile, Trailer Sway Control and AdvanceTrac® with RSC® keep everything balanced and in line with your truck.³

When it comes to changing lanes and maneuvering with your trailer attached, BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage looks out for what’s around you and lets you know when the coast is clear.³

Truck Bed & Payload

In addition to hitching a trailer or some recreational vehicles to your pickup, the 2022 Ford Ranger also gives you the freedom to load up the truck bed with all sorts of cargo. First, there are two truck beds to choose from.

The SuperCab comes with a 6-foot truck bed, while the SuperCrew has a 5-foot bed. While the SuperCab boasts best-in-class payload capabilities, both beds are available with a durable bedliner that’ll help you load everything you need.⁴ Just look at how much each one can carry:
