How Much Can The 2023 Ford Ranger Tow

 


Towing a substantial amount of weight isn't only a job for the biggest Super Duty trucks. The 2023 Ford Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped, and at Heartland Ford we know that hits the sweet spot for a lot of people. So let's take a look at the features and packages that help make the 2023 Ford Ranger your go-to midsize truck for towing. 

Engine and Transmissions

All trim levels of the 2023 Ford Ranger are powered by the same eager and punchy turbocharged 4 cylinder engine. It's good for 270 horsepower and, importantly for towing, 310 lb-ft of torque. This power is moved to either the rear wheels or (optionally) all 4 wheels through a 10 speed shiftable automatic. However you decide to get this power to the ground, you'll get an incredible driving experience and tons of power to tow just about anything. 

Interior and Comfort

There's no sense in giving up a comfortable driving experience for powerful towing and Ford has outfitted the 2023 Ranger with that in mind. The large, supportive and generously padded seats are sure to keep you comfortable and supported over any type of terrain. And despite its rough and tumble truck roots, the cabin is shockingly quiet with minimal wind and road noise to be heard.

The controls inside are comprehensive and laid out in a consistent manner, making everything easy to find and operate. The quick touchscreen controls for music, navigation and radio make finding what you need a breeze and you can even use voice commands in natural language if you don't want to mess with navigating menus. 

Towing

All of that, of course, is secondary to the towing question. And as mentioned, you can get up to a maximum of 7,500 pounds of towing performance. This is available in every trim! You might also want to consider the trailer towing package that includes a trailer hitch receiver and a 4-pin/7-pin wiring harness. This takes the guesswork and hassle out of third party solutions and makes your towing that much safer and easier. 


When it comes to towing performance, the 2023 Ford Ranger delivers well beyond its size. Come by Heartland Ford today and we'll show you everything else this remarkable truck can do.
