FORD RANGER! Is it a good truck for LandScaping work?
Was wondering if the Ford Ranger 3.0 liter Automatic was good for lawn care work plus pressure washing. Like pulling a medium size trailer with two riding mowers and all the lawn equipment! I read that these trucks have a VERY strong axle with alot of pulling capability.
Don't wanna get a full size truck because they will be too long with the trailer and it will be hard to steer. Plus I'd like to put it in my back yard when im not using it!
Any suggestions? Comments? Advice for lawn care business? Thank!
The Ranger with a 3.0V6 can only tow about 2,500 lbs. If you really must get such a small truck to tow you will at least need the 4.0 V6.
If you want the truck to last I'd suggest buying a full size truck or at least a midsize truck. Most top of the line midsize trucks top out around 7k lbs. 1/2 trucks top out around 10-11k lbs which is far more than you need but at the same time its not going to stress the truck at all towing your lawn care trailers.
