Ford Ranger DC - 2.5 TD [4WD] with a Lunar

derik reviewed a Ford Ranger DC - 2.5 TD [4WD] (80 Kw/107 bhp). Modelyear: january 2000 - february 2007) and a Lunar Quasar 615 of 1450 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 84%* = 91 km/u = 33%

I have the new ford ranger with the 150 bhp engine and the car tows any caravan with ease also the truck drives more like a mondeo and with the van on and loaded still gets over 30mpg when on its own driving it steady i can get 40mpg hope this helps.
cheers

We have a Sterling caravan with Ford ranger pick up. Our car tows the outfit very well with no problems. I do not find it sluggish as suggested and it is great on hill starts etc.I think it is a perfect match

Ford Ranger SuperCab - 2.5 TDCi [4WD] with a Elddis

Mark Nicklin reviewed a Ford Ranger SuperCab - 2.5 TDCi [4WD] (105 Kw/141 bhp). Modelyear: february 2007 - up to now) and a Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco of 1839 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 100%* = 110 km/u = 35%

The Double Cab 2.5tcdi Ranger makes an excellent tow car, will happily cruise on the motorway especially with a twin axle. Hills are easily dealt with. Economy drops to low 20's MPG but when its pulling nearly 2 ton of van and accessories thats to be expected!


Ford Ranger SuperCab - 2.5 TDCi [4WD] with a Elddis

Wayne Evans reviewed a Ford Ranger SuperCab - 2.5 TDCi [4WD] (105 Kw/141 bhp). Modelyear: february 2007 - up to now) and a Elddis Crusader Scirocco of 1820 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 101%* = 102 km/u = 29%

The Ford Ranger is a superb towing car.
It pulls a twin wheel Crusader Sirocco easily and safe.The weight ratio is a little high but load up the Ford and it copse very well on motorways.
