I have a 23RSS and looked at a new Ranger before buying a 21 Tundra as a TV. Ford advertises the Ranger to tow up to 7500 pounds. Depending on what package that number changes. You also need to look closely at your payload capacity. Even the 23RSS pushes my Tundra up towards the max payload when we load up for the trip south for the winter. There's a guy we met that does tow a longer and heavier TT with a Ranger and doesn't complain about it except the 7-8 MPG he gets towing. I have been averaging 11.4 at 60-65 MPH. Here's another thing that took the Ranger off my list: It's 55 sq ft frontal area limitation. I was never able to find any coefficient of drag numbers for the 23RSS but think it's total width x height x CoD would cause Ford engineers grief. So, look very very closely at your door sticker and owner's manual to see what your truck, as built is really capable of and remember, Ford got sued to advertising inflated payload numbers. Good luck, safe travels and hope to see you in your 23RSS.
