What can a Ford Ranger (2.3 EcoBoost, tow pkg) ('19-23) actually tow?
The rating is the easy half of the answer. A trailer never weighs its brochure dry weight — water is 8.34 lb a gallon, propane and batteries ride along, and so does your gear — and hundreds of models changed their published weights mid-run, so the model year decides as much as the model. Judged that way, with a 10% margin and 2 people aboard: 1634 of 5150 campers fit a Ford Ranger (2.3 EcoBoost, tow pkg), and 44 more fit if you buy the right years.
The number that quietly binds is payload — 1,860 lb (SuperCab 4x2 with the Trailer Tow Package (option 53R) - Ford's published max payload for the generation): tongue weight lands on the rear axle with your passengers and the hitch, so a vehicle often runs out of payload well before it runs out of rating.
Loaded estimate: dry weight + full fresh tank + propane, battery and gear for 2. Headroom is against the rating less 10%.
These changed their published weights mid-run: some model years clear a Ford Ranger (2.3 EcoBoost, tow pkg), others don't. A listing site treats them as one trailer. They aren't.
