I still do it once and a while but my dad used to haul no less than 1 and a half ton of steel and scrap from west side madison, wi to oxford,wi for those who arent familiar with the drive lol its a hour drive doing the speed limit and with that kind of weight it too a little over 2 hours i used to go with him and i haul scrap and what not with it now when i have to but i never even get close to a ton. my little twirp is definatley a little guy that packs a BIG punch

i have a 1990 2.3 4cly and i pulled a 70s model f250 4x4 to scrap on a 16ft trailor. my truck weighsrite a bout 3,400lb with me in it with the trailor it was 7,200lb with all the scrap it was a total of 15,000lb. i couldnt put it over dirve untill i hit 65mph only did that once that was too fast for my small truck haha. it was 42mi it took 5 gallons of gas to do it man i love my truck i have but it through hell. oh and not to metion i did all that with a blown head gasket hahaha

I don't know how much weight I pulled with her but I moved from Ohio to Florida back in 2009 hauling a 12ft long box trailer...I did 4 trips (7000 miles) the first 3 loads were no problem but the last one was a nightmare...I loaded up the trailer and ran out of room with still alot of stuff left and I didn't want to make another trip so I unloaded the trailer and repacked everything again tighter and to the roof (including my motorcycle which weighed 800lbs on its own). I got it all in and took off. I didn't take me to long to realize that I had way to weight on there....My braking distance was terrible and the hills through VA were even worse...I was pulling some hills in 2nd gear and the engine was screaming...so bad that I blew a spark plug clean out off the head...but she made it.

damn howd u fix that one?

The most I have hauled in it was 5 inflatable bouncers that kids jump in. After being rolled up and tied they weigh about 350 but when they are wet they weigh about 400 or so pounds. Well, needless to say my father and I invested in this 96 ranger about 6 years ago and wanted it mostly because of the long bed. We go and help his buddy with his bouncer business and ended up putting 5 inflatable wet bouncers. It weighed down the truck like crazy but once you put the overdrive on, it drove like an lincoln town car. Smooth as silk! But just recently I had to buy new shocks and bought the sport ones instead of the heavy duty and had to take a truck load of liquor to two liquor stores and it weighed it down so much! It was ridiculous! Shows me how much I paid any attention to the shocks!

Have towed/loaded my poor Ranger many times. Towed a Supra 3650+750 for tow dolly) about 350 miles, another time had a'12 Harley Fatboy,'01 Indian, a'50 Willy's 6cyl motor and trans and a 3 piece sectional sofa. Hauled from Boston to Miami. 7780 gross weight. Did just fine.
