your Ranger has a V6.. or a 4cyl? You state both..? and if a V6, which one?
Does it have a manual or automatic transmission? what cab?
Does it have a tow package?
It looks to me like, if you have the 4.0 V6, and an automatic transmision, you can tow a pod. No other engine/transmission combo is rated by ford to pull 3500 lbs.
