Whether you are pulling a fishing boat to the Great Miami River or hauling a utility trailer full of landscaping supplies across town, you need a truck that can handle the weight without feeling sluggish. The 2026 Ford Ranger towing capacity in Sidney OH is designed precisely for these local demands.
The secret to this truck’s pulling power lies in its advanced turbocharged engines. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine delivers 310 pound-feet of torque. Torque is the twisting force that physically gets heavy loads moving from a complete stop. This engine provides plenty of low-end strength to pull a camper out of a muddy spot.
For those who need even more muscle, the available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine generates 400 pound-feet of torque. This extra power means your truck will not have to work as hard to maintain highway speeds on I-75 when fully loaded.
To achieve the maximum pulling capabilities, you need the available Trailer Tow Package. This package equips the truck with the physical hardware and electrical connections required to safely manage heavy loads. It also unlocks advanced software features that help prevent the trailer from swaying back and forth during high winds.
