It's got the 350 and right not it's getting rebuilt cause after 204,000 miles it gave up. I normally get around 7-8 mpg towing. Definitely a good old truck

Cool, thanks for the reply. Widened my options. Diesels are a little spendy still.

Currently in the beginning stages of converting this 2wd 97 Ranger to a tow vehicle.

Plans;
302 V8 + manual trans
Ford 9" rear w/ disc conversion
D44 knuckle conversion up front
frame bracing
Explorer leafs bastard pack + air ride helpers
Class IV Receiver with weight distributing hitch.

Estimating it'll be good for 6600lbs legally.
