Hey guys,
It's been awhile since I've been back on this forum and my first time in the Ranger section.
I'm looking to purchase my first Ranger and have a question about the towing/hauling capabilities of the different Ranger engines. I'm planning on getting the Ranger because I'm looking for something that is not full-sized and can haul a ~450lb motorcycle to and from school. 4WD isn't necessary but I would really enjoy having a manual transmission. I'm set on a 2D Regular Cab and it really only comes down to the engine.
So my question to you guys; Is the 2.3L capable of this? Will the 3.0 be any better? Suggestions?
Thank you!
