As a midsize truck, you may not think the 2026 Ford Ranger is a good pick for towing. However, it’s surprisingly strong and has many innovative features that make towing even easier. Folsom Lake Ford shares a closer look.
Premium Performance
The 2026 Ford Ranger has a high-strength steel frame and three powerful EcoBoost® engine options, giving it impressive towing power. Peak towing power comes with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder engine and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine, which can each tow up to 7,500 pounds, when properly equipped. To get these notable capabilities, you need a properly configured Crew Cab model and the Trailer Tow Package.
Trailer Towing Package
The Trailer Towing Package includes many features that you need for towing. This includes equipment such as a 4-/7-pin connector, a Class IV hitch receiver, and more. It’s also available with many other advanced features such as a Trailer Brake Controller, which pairs your trailer’s brakes with your truck’s braking system for coordinated operation.
Smart Towing Technology
There are many smart features included in the 2026 Ford Ranger, such as Trailer Light Check, which lets you see if your trailer lights are functioning through your center display. It’s available with Pro Trailer Backup AssistTM, so all you need to do is simply turn the Pro Trailer knob the direction you want to go, and the feature will get your truck into position. The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot zone, keeping the length of your trailer in mind.
