[QUOTE="Clutch, post: 177836, member: 16182"] While we are on the subject of Rangers towing stuff, what do you guys think of a new 4.0L SOHC V6 Ranger towing one of those 8X10 enclosed trailers? My Mom has a 2000 Explorer with the SOHC 4.0 w/ automatic, and I stomped it a couple of times and it really scoots. I think it puts out like 205HP and 238ft/lbs of torque. Of course it feels fast compared to my 94 2.3L Ranger, which struggles in the mountains with 2 KDX's in the back of it. I have to downshift to 3rd sometimes, and stand on it, and turn the A/C off!!! Not that I am complaining, it's still a great truck. I am asking this because I was thinking about my next truck being an extended cab Ranger with the SOHC 4.0L motor and a 5-speed tranny, is this enough to pull an enlclosed trailer full of bikes? Anybody have this motor in their Ranger, and what kind of gas mileage are they getting? My 2.3L has 106,000 miles and is well-maintained and gets like 25-26MPG, with a personal best of 29MPG. I know the 4.0L will be less, but after romping it a couple of times in my Mom's Explorer, I'm addicted to the power, and I know the Explorer weighs more than the Ranger, so a 4.0L Ranger with a manual tranny must really scoot!
