The weakness for the Ranger when it comes to towing, at least to me, is the limited fuel capacity. The range when towing is terrible. You better start looking for fuel at about 150 miles.
I purchased a left over 2019 Lariat . MSRP 44,060, I received a $6,000- discount. I had to work pretty hard to get it.
I'm sure now that I have purchased, I am going to hear that I should have hung in there for $8k off :)
