Middle son was a tow truck in Ft. Lauderdale, so I HAD to tell him about the tow truck I saw one night (yes, it had a load). A Ford Ranger set up as a TOW TRUCK! Son asked, "what, they are for, towing Cooper Mini's and the 'Smart car' "?? I HAD a Ranger - 2004, I think, and loved it. Just didn't have any sort of tow capacity - I think it was rated for about 4500 pounds, max. But, it was great in that flippin' blizzard we got, where I drove home from work at 1AM (hotels were all full!!) through 2 ft of snow and still falling fast and heavy. Never went faster than 20MPH, but it plowed right through that heavy, wet snow in 4 wheel drive.
