What is the payload capacity of the 24 Ranger?
The exact payload capacity depends on the specific Ranger model you’re referring to. If you mean the Ford Ranger pickup from the 2024 model year, the figure varies by configuration and can only be confirmed with the exact vehicle details. If you mean a different product named Ranger (such as a boat or another vehicle), the payload definition and numbers will differ. To avoid guesswork, please specify the exact Ranger model and configuration you have in mind.
What “payload capacity” means for a Ranger
Payload capacity is the maximum weight a vehicle can carry, including passengers, cargo, and installed equipment. For motor vehicles, this figure is derived from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) minus the curb weight (the vehicle’s own weight as built). Different Ranger configurations will yield different payload values because GVWR and curb weight vary with cab type, engine, drivetrain, and options.
Key factors that influence payload
Configuration and spec sheets
Before looking up a precise number, consider how configuration influences payload. The same model can have different GVWRs and curb weights based on trim, cab size, bed length, and drivetrain.
- Cab configuration (e.g., Regular Cab, SuperCab, SuperCrew) affects curb weight and sometimes GVWR.
- Drivetrain (2WD vs 4WD) can impact curb weight and, in some cases, GVWR as specified by the manufacturer.
- Engine and equipment choices (towing packages, off-road packages, etc.) add weight and can reduce available payload.
- Aftermarket modifications or added gear can further decrease payload capacity from the stock rating.
Concluding: To obtain the exact payload, consult the official specification sheet for the exact Ranger configuration or check the door jamb sticker on the specific vehicle, which lists GVWR and curb weight.
How to confirm the exact figure
To determine the precise payload for a given Ranger, identify the exact model year, trim, cab configuration, and drivetrain. Then:
- Find the GVWR and curb weight on the official spec sheet or the vehicle’s window sticker.
- Compute payload as GVWR minus curb weight.
- Cross-check with the manufacturer’s published payload figure for that configuration, if available.
Concluding paragraph: The exact payload is configuration-dependent, so providing a single universal number for “the 24 Ranger” isn’t possible without specifying the exact model. Once you confirm the model and configuration, I’ll give you the precise payload figure with sources.

Summary
Payload capacity varies by Ranger model and configuration. The most reliable way to know the exact number is to reference the vehicle’s GVWR and curb weight from the official spec sheet or window sticker. Once you specify the exact Ranger, I’ll provide the precise payload in pounds and the source.
