ford rangers and use cases (Page 1/1) cartercarbaficionado AUG 10, 07:18 PM alright like the 5th time I've exceeded the payload and tow capacity of this 5 speed v6 mini truck and she just does it over and over. litterally just hauled a f250 3/4 ton front and rear axle, all 4 tires, a front bumper and frame sections to fix another and it was on the bump stops (don't lecture on how unsafe it is. I know but nothing I could do since all he other trucks are down and it was safer than throwing it into the back of a lowered focus and i went 55 thebwhole way) like I know the joke of "a ford ranger has no limit on towing capacity" and thought it was a joke but man they really don't care much about weight do they? share some ranger stories I'm curious if anyone else uses the same way kendell OCT 02, 07:14 PM These Rangers are built tough indeed. My uncle's Ranger has 300k miles and still going strong. We just put on new steel wheels and tires from 4Wheelonline, took it to haul seven logs about 6 feet long, and did the 3 miles hauling without any issues.
