1998 3.0L 4x4 Manual Ford Ranger towing 1500lbs with tow package?
I'm not too worried about it on the freeway, how will it do on moderate uphill road? I want to buy a boat and take it up to the lake. The boat I'm looking at weighs about 900 lbs, so I'm making a liberal estimate with trailer, gear, and gas.
No problem. Don't even need a towing package for such small load. Most mid size cars are rated to tow 1,000-1,200 lbs or so, so 1,500 for a Ranger is well within it's capability. Just be mindful that you may take longer to accelerate to speed, as well as longer stopping distances from speed. And if you find yourself climbing a lot of long hills, keep an eye on your engine/trans temp unless it's equipped with additional intercoolers.
You can tow 1000 lbs with a ford focus 2L - no worries with the truck.
My little factory bumper on my 99 dakota says max weight, 2,000 lbs.

- Possible engine swap from 3.0 to 4.0 on 1994 Ford Ranger XL 4x4 manual? I'm wondering if I can drop a V6 4.0L engine straight into a V6 3.0L Ford Ranger XL? Both are 1994 ford rangers, everything the same as far as model/year just different size engine… And if not, what would need to be converted? I found a 4.0 for $250 with 0 miles so if its as simple as swapping engines/trannys I'm going to go for it… Thanks for help!
- I have a '99 Ford Ranger with the 4x4 Off Road package. Does this include a heavy duty suspension? It's also a 6cyl 4.0 liter. I need to know because I need to change my rear parking brake cable and it specifies with or without heavy duty suspension. How would I know?
- Clutch slipping on 94 ford ranger 4x4 v6 4.0 manual trann? I recently bought a 94 ford ranger V6 4.0 4x4 manual, but the clutch is definitely slipping. I bought a new clutch set, master cylinder, slave cylinder, hydraulic release system, and upgraded clutch hydraulic line connection from Power Torque… Does anyone know all the tools I will need? As well as a step by step installation guide? I don't have $2,200(the lowest price in town) to spend taking it to a shop… Please help!
