I am not sure I am reading my manual right and need some help. I am thinking to add a tow bar @3500 lb tow capacity. It apprears my 2000Ranger Super Cab 4x2 3.0L Flex Fuel 6 cyl has a max tow cap of 2460 which means I should just stick with the bumber tow capability which has a max of 2000 lbs (right?). Am I reading this right?

Also, what does the read axle ratio mean and how do I interpret it.

I want to haul top soil and bark for my yard but not sure how to calculate 1) what I can put in my short bed and haul;, and 2) what I can put in my short bead + what I can tow on a trailer and 3) what I can haul in a trailer with nothing in the bed. The question is do I pay $199+ tax for a Tork Lift tow bar. I appreciate your help.

Howard
