Trim Notes
Max 7,500 lb rating requires the 2.3L EcoBoost engine paired with the 10-speed automatic and the available Trailer Tow Package; rating is consistent across XL, XLT, and Lariat when equipped.
⚠ Important
The 7,500 lb rating requires the factory Trailer Tow Package; without it the tow rating is lower. Payload varies by cab/box configuration and options—verify the door-jamb label for the specific vehicle.

Prose overview
The 2020 Ford Ranger carries a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class III hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2020 Ford Rangers on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
