The towing capacity of the Ford Ranger...


Don’t you just hate it when you’re stuck behind a caravan on a bending, single track road? Well how about if you were stuck behind 15… towed by one powerful vehicle.
 
Yes, that’s right the Ford Ranger has the towing capacity of up to 3,500kg (or 15 caravans, if that’s your usual measurement of weight). Fortunately, we anticipate that you won’t be encountering this situation any time soon, but the video does showcase the pure power that the Ranger possesses.
 
Pure pulling power is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Ranger though, with a Trailer Sway Control for maximum confidence, 470nm of Torque and the latest SYNC3 Technology for the most immersive driving atmosphere yet. The credit for the power of the torque and pulling capacity can be awarded in part to the best-in-class and robust 2.0 Ford EcoBlue engine with a 10-speed automatic drivetrain.

Is there an Electric Pick-Up in the UK?


No matter what you’re pulled in by, the sleek design, the raw pulling power or the beauty of the combination, it’s not hard to see why the Ranger is a regular on the lists of ‘best pick-ups in the UK’. Better yet, with the Ranger’s American brother; the all-electric F-150 encompassing the capability of pulling 1million pounds… it leaves you wondering how soon it is until we see an electric version of the Ranger?
 
With the, erm, Frankenstein-esq, Tesla Cybertruck unlikely to be in the UK and delivery for Americans not for another 2 years, it leaves the door wide open for Ford to elevate the famous pickup. The step would just be the next effortless one into their rapidly-growing range of electric and hybrid vehicles. And afterall, the Ranger already has a model ready to tackle the Baja Desert Rally, so why not now complete the range with some electric juice?

There are pickups, then there is the Super Duty


Somehow, if this still hasn’t satisfied your pick-up desires then you may need to consider upping sticks and venturing to the wild west. Because the audacious Ford Super Duty F-450 really does have it all, but only for Americans (we’re not sure it would fit in our showroom anyway).
