Trailer Weight Range; Calculating The Load - Ford Ranger Owner's Manual

Trailer Weight Range

The trailer weight range is a specified range by weight, which
the trailer must fall within, ranging from zero to the maximum
trailer weight rating.
NOTE: Ranger pick-ups are not recommended for slide-in
camper usage.

Calculating The Load

To know how much weight your vehicle can carry:
Obtain ratings from your Safety Compliance Certification
Label, and the Trailer towing specifications in the owner
guide (refer to the Index)
— Refer to the following sample illustration to locate the
various ratings on your Safety Compliance Certification
Label.
— If you do not plan on pulling a trailer, do not include
these ratings into your calculations.
Weigh your vehicle as you customarily operate the vehicle
(without cargo).
Subtract the total weight of passengers, driver and optional
equipment added by the factory, dealer or aftermarket
supplier to determine how much cargo weight you can carry.
