The 2011 Ford Ranger comes with a choice of a 2.3 L 4-cylinder or a 4.0 L V6 engine, offering 143 to 207 horsepower and 154 to 238 lb-ft of torque. It can tow between 1,600 to 3,100 pounds and has a payload capacity of 1,272 to 1,790 pounds. This truck can accommodate up to 5 people in the extended cab and has a curb weight ranging from 3,028 to 3,606 pounds. The 4x2 super-cab XL model, equipped with either a 5-speed automatic or manual transmission, goes from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. Fuel efficiency is decent for its power and size, giving owners up to 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.
Based on the information in my manual, my vehicle's maximum towing capacity is 5600 pounds and the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is 9600 pounds. I'm wondering if my owner's manual is incorrect or if other vehicles are being underrated in terms of their capabilities.
The towing capacity of 2011 Ford Rangers varies between 1,600 and 3,100 pounds, depending on the specific model and size.
