In 2002, a Ford Ranger with a 3.0L V6 engine can handle towing up to 6,060 lbs, which is 400 pounds more than the standard Ranger model. If you add a Class III receiver, the tongue weight capacity of this truck is 400 pounds. This compact truck can carry heavy loads comparable to larger trucks and even outperform certain F-150 models. You can easily tow work equipment or a medium-sized travel trailer with this versatile vehicle.

    The 2002 Ford Ranger 3.0 has the capability to tow up to 2,480 pounds at most.

    My 2002 Ranger Edge is designed to handle over 5000 lbs with its 3L engine, 5-speed OD auto trans, and a weight distributing hitch. When using a dead weight hitch, the capacity is reduced to less than 3000 lbs. However, the most crucial factor is your brakes. While you may be able to pull a well-balanced 10,000 lb load smoothly and steadily, the key question is: can you bring it to a stop safely and effectively? This is the critical limitation to consider.
