Ford Ranger 2.Generation Doppelkabine 2.0 TDCi Wildtrak 4x4 Automatik - Towing vehicle

You want to use the Ford Ranger also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this issue the automobile must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With this motor vehicle, thanks to the maximum towing capacity of 3500 kg, you can tow virtually anything that wants to be towed privately (caravan, horse trailer, boat) or professionally (larger machines, heavy material).
torque affects the Ford Ranger how much the trailer load affects acceleration. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this motor vehicle distributes the power over all four wheels.

The basic prerequisite - a trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this deal.

Evaluation - is the Ford Ranger suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car draws enormous 3500 kg . He can rely on strong 500 Nm access torque - that sounds like a lot, it is, the Ford Ranger is a born towing vehicle. Horse trailers with one horse (possibly two) are no problem, also large (luxury) caravans or smaller excavators and other heavy equipment. Please note that you may need a driving license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
