2019 ranger towing tractor?

[Robby]

I have a Kubota l3901 with a bucket and liquid filled tires. Approx 5000lbs. Dual axle trailer. Is this pushing it for the 5th gen ranger? I currently have a 2.7 eco boost f150 love it but gas mileage is 15-16 and I just got a new job that’s 45 miles one way. I’m trying to compromise with the ranger and hopefully get 20 mpg to work and still be able to haul my tractor when needed

Easy load, I’d be more concerned about the condition of most trailers out there and the Chinese tires that they all have, than anything to do with the truck. This JD is about 4600 lbs plus the trailer. Hauls like a dream.

Sounds good what type of gas mileage do you get when towing

You should not have any issue towing, my MPG goes in the 13-15 range when towing.

Agree, around 15 mpg.

Goodyear Endurance trailer tires are made in USA and have good reviews. I just replaced the Goodyear Marathons (mand in China) on my boat trailer with these tires. These Goodyear Endurance tires are the first ones I have found that are available in Load Range D that fit my trailer. Load Range C was my only option in the past.
