According to the information I found, the recommended winch size for a Ford Ranger depends on the model year. Here are the recommendations:
– For Ford Rangers with model years between 1983 and 2011, it is recommended to use at least an 8,000 lb winch.
– For 2019 and newer Ford Rangers, a 9,500 lb or larger winch is recommended.
Please note that these recommendations are based on industry standards and are meant to ensure safety and effectiveness. It’s always a good idea to consult the specific winch manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for your Ford Ranger model.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
