Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Ford Ranger tow a fishing boat?

Yes! With a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds,¹ the Ranger can handle many different types of fishing boats. Heavier fishing boats and motorboats may require a second weighing for safety after you put in coolers, rods, lifejackets, and bait.

Which Ford SUV can tow a boat?

The Expedition has the most consistent towing capability in a Ford SUV, with nearly 10,000 pounds of capacity.¹ However, the Escape and Bronco Sport can tow smaller fiberglass boats, and the Explorer can tow medium-sized boats without much issue.¹

Which Ford truck is best for towing in the Florida Keys?

The absolute best truck for towing in the Florida Keys is the F-450, with up to 40,000 pounds of gooseneck towing capacity.¹ However, that truck can be bulkier and less maneuverable on beaches, so consider the F-150 or F-250 for better fuel efficiency and nimbler handling.

Ford Truck Reviews From Our Florida Customers

Kelly Thammavong

October 2026

My husband and I came from West Palm Beach to purchase a Ford at Lorenzo Ford after a horrible experience at our local dealer. It was worth the drive! We had the pleasure of working with Ralph. Ralph made the process as simple as possible. He answered all the questions I had and worked with us throughout the process. He showed us the vehicles in our budget and listened to our needs. We left feeling satisfied with our purchase and would definitely make the trip back here if we ever have the need to purchase another truck.

I had an outstanding experience purchasing my new truck, and a big part of that was thanks to Yandy. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and never made me feel pressured. He took the time to answer all my questions, kept me informed throughout the process, and worked hard to make sure everything went smoothly.
