I am accumulating small sail boats and without really meaning to, sold everything I had with a hitch on it, so I was in the market for a small truck to do short local tows of small boats (less than 24 ft). I bought a 1996 Ranger XL extended cab 2wd today for a cheap tow vehicle. 3.0L Vulcan V6, automatic. According to stuff I found online, it is rated to tow 5250 Lb's which should be plenty for what I plan to do. Anybody had any experience with Rangers as tow vehicles, or just as daily drivers? Reliability, weak spots, etc?
