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

You want to use the Ford Ranger also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question the motor vehicle 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 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.
For the Ford Ranger gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 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 automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this offer does not yet include trailer hitch and must be ordered in addition.

Evaluation - is the Ford Ranger suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle 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.
