How much weight can a 2002 ford ranger tow?

I was thinking about buying a camper. And I was woundering how much can my little ranger tow with out tearing up anything on my truck.

It should say the max tow weight on the side of the drivers door

Look under 2002 Ford Ranger specifications
Depends on the size of the engine. Maximum specification by the book are:
2.3L - 1480 lbs
3.0L - 2320 lbs
4.0L - 3260 lbs.

Halve the maximum recommendations if you are planning on hitting hills. Rangers were made to be economical, not tow vehicles. Mine had a hard time with a 1200 lb. Pop-up camper.
