Payload remains vehicle-specific
TowGauge does not substitute a brochure maximum for the carrying capacity of the specific vehicle. Add the door-label value only when you want that check completed.

2023 Ranger towing FAQ
What is the maximum towing capacity of a 2023 Ford Ranger in Canada?
Ford Canada lists a maximum available towing figure of 7,500 lb among the configurations currently represented in TowGauge. The rating for a specific vehicle depends on its powertrain, drivetrain, towing package and other configuration details.
Does every 2023 Ranger tow 7,500 lb?
No. The maximum is tied to a properly equipped configuration. TowGauge uses the selected manufacturer record rather than applying the model-wide maximum to every vehicle.
Why might TowGauge still ask for payload?
Payload is vehicle-specific. Passengers, cargo and trailer tongue weight all use carrying capacity, so TowGauge leaves that check incomplete until a vehicle-specific payload value is available.
