@Heavy Duty, I am interested. Got any left?

According to my owners manual, the bumper hitch limit is 3,500 lbs with trailer brakes. Otherwise 1,650lbs. 7,500lbs is unlocked with the heavier trailer hitch + trailer brakes.

I think some of the confusion is from the phrasing of my question, my apologies . I have no doubt the engineers at Ford came to this number carefully and backed my models and testing. Everyone's comments have been very helpful and I think the best way to approach a final number is to work...

I've been trying to make heads and tails of all the existing threads to come to some conclusion. Your numbers are where I am starting at. Mostly giving the space for additional gear and human weight. @P. A. Schilke s solution is the only way to have confidence.

Hi all, About a month into ownership. I am mostly just looking for somewhere to go to get a feel for it's capabilities and play with the different 4x4 modes. I am not looking for anything extreme.... Just yet. Thanks

I am western suburbs, but I know the area!

Not much more to add, 2020 Lariat model with Tow package and FX4. Minus a bed spray and tonneau cover, the truck is stock. Already got the tailgate damper! :cool:

Max 4500lbs is the magic dry weight I have been trying to stay under. I like the bunkhouse floor plans with the Murphy beds.

Yes, we are big fans of getting outside. My desk job burns me out every week.

Oh no, maybe joining this forum was a mistake....

Yes, there is a lot of good information. Honestly as a person new to towing it is enough to make your head spin.

HI Everyone and thanks for the approval to join the forum. I recently (few weeks now) just picked up a 2020 Ranger Lariat, after upgrading from a 2011 Mazdaspeed3. I swear the engine in the Ranger is very similar to the one in the speed, just a bit more modern and can handle regular instead of...
