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

Can the Ford Ranger also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a towing capacity of 2500 kg, the Ford Ranger is a real workhorse. For him, there is hardly anything that you can not pull, at most a full-grown sailboat.
The torque is at the Ford Ranger decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. 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 - the 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 pulls ordinary 2500 kg . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 500 Nm access. The Ford Ranger is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
