Step aside, Toyota. This Ranger was Built Ford Tough®. It’s coming out of 2021 with best-in-class this and best-in-class that, so any competitors instantly fall flat. The only uptick to the Tacoma’s tally is its available Multi-Terrain Select that comes with five driving modes, as opposed to the Ranger’s Terrain Management System™ with four driving modes. But we’ll let a single mode slide since the Ranger sports a 7,500-lb. max available towing capacity, best-in-class 1,860-lb. payload, best-in-class gas torque rating of 310 lb.-ft. and the class-exclusive available BLIS®. Normally, you can’t have everything you want in a vehicle, but this time, the 2021 Ford Ranger sure does deliver.

Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow and instructions in your Owner’s Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants and added vehicle equipment. “Added vehicle equipment” includes additional standard/optional equipment and accessories added by the manufacturer, dealers and/of vehicle owners. The only way to be certain of your vehicle’s exact curb weight is to weigh your vehicle without passengers or cargo.
