Important specification notes
Configuration-specific kerb, tare, payload, GVM, GCM, axle ratings, braked towing, wheelbase and fuel capacity transcribed from the Australian Ford Ranger 2026MY specification brochure. These initial-MY records are kept separate from the later MY2026.50 revision. | Max towball download 350kg conditional on Genuine Ford Tow Pack for 3500kg braked towing configuration. Source: Ford Australia Ranger towing guide (ford.com.au). | Source checked 18 Oct 2026: exact Australian brochure configuration, two PDF parsers agree; kerb basis retained from its own MY document. 350kg ball limit conditional on Genuine Ford Tow Pack; no generic inference for Raptor, PHEV or Super Duty. Cab-chassis masses exclude tray/body. Individual wheel/tyre/towbar ratings and option mass still apply. Unbraked capacity not established by this batch. GVM+maximum trailer ATM exceeds GCM by 400kg before accounting for ball-load transfer; assess coupled vehicle mass plus trailer axle load, avoiding double-counting TBM.

How ClearPath verifies this page
ClearPath checks published specifications against Australian source documents. Source checked records pass automated extraction, identity and calculation checks; human review is reserved for exceptions. Manufacturer documentation is preferred, but where manufacturers do not publish a particular specification, ClearPath may use recognised technical or independent Australian sources and identifies that source clearly. Calculated values are labelled separately. We do not estimate missing manufacturer limits.
Can this vehicle really tow its headline capacity?
The braked towing capacity is only one constraint. The complete setup must also remain within the applicable GVM, GCM, towball, front axle, rear axle, towbar, coupling and tyre limits. Passengers, luggage, accessories and towball load consume vehicle capacity.
Payload and accessory impact
Bullbars, winches, canopies, drawers, auxiliary batteries, long-range fuel, recovery equipment, roof loads, passengers and towball download all contribute to the loaded vehicle. Check actual fitted weights and positions rather than relying on advertised payload alone.
