Ford ranger 2.2 towing capacity

[sanderzo]

Am looking at buying a ranger 2.2 limited to replace our ageing disco, so what i want to know is does it pull 3.5t? I have seen some sites saying it can only pull 2 and you need the 3.2l to pull 3.5t. We are needing it to pull a tri axle stock trailer with four cows in it. Will it be man enough?

All 4x4 Rangers tow 3.5t as far as I know. The 2 wheel drive ones are only less.

The 2.2l is 150bhp and the 3.2 is 200bhp so it will be fine.

Get the 3.2 wildtrack, you can never have enough power or money .

You will be over weight anyway so why worry? 4 cows at 750kg = 3000kg plus whatever trailer is, must be 1000kg, not sure of trailer weights Equals 4000kg

Just changed l200 for a ford ranger limited towing a tri axle ifor usually for calves stirks or sheep seems to have plenty of power but main thing very stable on motorway

Right having just bought a 3.2 myself I've looked into this and as far as I can establish its like this

The new shape 2.2 and 3.2 Ranger launched 2011/12 could tow 3350kg. Then some time in mid 2013 they were upgraded to 3500kg.

The upgrade wasn't just a replating exercise, ford made some chassis and welding modifications on the production line. The only way to tell which were which at change over is to check chassis numbers at a well switched on dealer.
