Im hoping it'll have F150 towing numbers. 12klbs - 1200lbs TW. Wishful thinking I know.
I think the thing will be physically capable of towing in the 8500 lb range based on size of the vehicle and engine power but marketing/product management will restrict it to sub Ranger capacity (which is 7500 lbs), my guess would be closer to 5k lbs, maybe 6k lbs.

I think youre in the ballpark for what it'll be. I wouldnt expect any higher than 7500lbs if Im grounded in reality. lol

You guys really tow 7500 with a Ranger? I just don't see it as safe no
matter what they rate it at. Maybe at a max of 65............

I don’t have a Ranger, that’s just what Ford rates it at based on standard SAE test.

I tow a wakeboarding boat with my 5.3 Silverado with 4.10 gearing. It is OK, but to be honest I would prefer a diesel to tow a boat like that. I also think that my transmission was affected from the towing I was doing.

For that reason my bronco will NOT be towing the boat even if it has a 8000lb tow rating(I’m getting the 2 door so it will be even less). The only thing my bronco will
Be towing is hopefully a overland trailer in the 3500 lb range. I couldn’t imagine taking a 5000 lb trailer off road and on steep inclines.

I am going to be working in Wyoming for the next year so I will probably pick up a snowmobile and small trailer for it. ??

If you are making a dig at Ford then I take back what I said and would ask you remove yourself
