*When towing on roads with steep grades or moderate but long

45 mph (72 km/h) in both cases.
For definition of terms used in this table see Vehicle Loading earlier

To determine maximum trailer weight designed for your particular
vehicle, see Vehicle loading earlier in this chapter.
Maximum trailer weight is shown. The combined weight of the
completed towing vehicle (including hitch, passengers and cargo) and
the loaded trailer must not exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating

The Ranger is capable of pulling the maximum trailer weight(s) as

over a specified weight. The Ranger vehicle electrical system is not
equipped to accommodate electric trailer brakes.
