Can I Flat tow The 2024 Ford Ranger?

No! This one is actually really clear. The owner's manual for the 2024 Ford Ranger says, in no uncertain terms, that you must have four wheels off of the ground when you tow your vehicle, such as with a car-hauling trailer.

It is possible to tow for short distances in the event of an emergency using the "manual park release" (a procedure laid out in a different chapter of your owner's manual), however this is limited to 35 mph (56 km/h), and 50 mi (80 km), and should exclusively be used in emergency situations, hardly a fit for the "flat-towable" label.

If you insist on taking your Ranger out to the campsite, then we suggest taking advantage of its own towing ability rather than its tow-ability. The 2024 Ranger has a towing capacity of up to 7,500lbs depending on the configuration (your actual towing capacity varies from vehicle to vehicle, to find your vehicle's towing capacity check out our article about that here), so it's plenty capable of towing a smaller camper by itself.

This is where I would normally throw in a "but wait!" followed by some obscure steps to accomplish what we previously stated was impossible. But quite frankly, I am not seeing it. We often see owner's manuals avoid the flat towing issue in their pages, but rarely are they so adamantly against it. We're sad to say it, but if you're looking to flat tow, then the Ford Ranger likely isn't for you.
