Towing Capacity
Hi,
I have a 2001 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 V6 and I want to tow a '92 Mazda Protege from Greensboro, NC to Phoenix AZ. First, can it be done with my truck? THe owners manual states a max trailer weight of 3800 pounds and a gross combined weight of 7500. How accurate are these numbers and are they setup conservatively for morons like me who want to tow more than I should? The car weighs 2400 pounds and I was going to use a tow bar or tow dolly.
Anybody ever towed that much weight with the Explorer/Ranger platform? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Axl
