Can you flat tow a Ford Ranger?

No, you cannot flat tow a Ford Ranger (except for certain very specific, limited models and years, and even then with significant caveats). Modern Ford Rangers, especially those with automatic transmissions, are not designed for flat towing. Attempting to do so will likely cause significant damage to the transmission.

While some older models *might* have been flat towable with specific modifications (like disconnecting the driveshaft), this is generally not recommended without consulting a detailed owner's manual and potentially a qualified mechanic. Even then, the risk of damage remains substantial.

Always check your specific Ford Ranger's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations on towing. The manual will clearly state whether flat towing is permitted and any required procedures.
