Tires, Wheels and Loading Your vehicle's load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle. Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle's engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components carefully after any towing operation. 4x2 w/manual transmission Engine Rear Maximum Maximum Maximum axle GCWR - lb trailer weight frontal area of ratio (kg) - lb (kg) trailer - ft2 (m2) Regular Cab w/6' box 2.3L All 4800 (2177) 1580 (716) Equal to frontal area of vehicle 2.3L Sport All 4800 (2177) 1520 (689) Equal to frontal area of vehicle Regular Cab w/7' box 2.3L All 4800 (2177) 1540 (698) Equal to frontal area of vehicle SuperCab 2.3L All 4800 (2177) 1420 (644) Equal to frontal area of vehicle 4.0L All 7000 (3175) 3400 (1542) 50 (4.64) 4.0L Sport All 7000 (3175) 3220 (1460) 50 (4.64) For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 1,000 ft.

To determine maximum trailer weight designed for your particular vehicle, see Vehicle Loading earlier in this chapter. Maximum trailer weight is shown. The combined weight of the completed towing vehicle (including hitch, passengers and cargo) and the loaded trailer must not exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). The Ranger is capable of pulling the maximum trailer weight(s) as specified above. Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a specified weight. The Ranger vehicle electrical system is not equipped to accommodate electric trailer brakes. 144 2009 Ranger (ran) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
