Prose overview

The 2025 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 2025 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.

2025 Ford Ranger towing FAQ

A properly equipped 2025 Ford Ranger is rated to tow up to 7,500 lbs. This maximum applies only to specific engine, axle, and tow-package combinations — most trims tow less.
