Towing and Payload Capacities
Getting started, it makes sense to touch on a topic that is usually at the heart of any truck-buying decision. Capability is best measured in payload and towing capacities. For the 2020 Ranger, you'll find a truck that is eager to work!
There's a range of different payload measurements, depending on how you have your truck configured. The low-end payload measures at 1,560 pounds which is still a strong figure. At most, your Ford Ranger will be able to haul a maximum of 2,080 pounds of payload.
For towing capacity, you'll be able to reach the maximum 7,500 pounds in almost any configuration the truck offers!
Engine Specifications and MPG
Given the payload and towing numbers, you've probably guessed that the Ford Ranger has a strong engine under the hood.
The 2.3L 4-cylinder is certainly strong, making 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque-yet, it's also efficient. The top fuel economy rating the truck offers is a sterling EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG.
Specific technology systems have been put in place to further improve the efficiency, too. One of the most helpful is the auto start-stop arrangement, which shuts off the engine when you use the brake pedal to stop at a light or stop sign. So long as you hold the brake down, the engine stays off. Lift your foot, and the engine comes back to life so that you can be on your way!
Other performance traits include the 10-speed automatic transmission, featuring:
- Tow/Haul Mode for added composure when you have a trailer attached
- SelectShift® with Progressive Range Select, which allows you to tinker with your transmission dynamics while driving

- Normal

There are also off-road-specific packages, like the FX2 Package or the FX4 Off-Road Package, which introduce a host of new and exciting features!
