The attached link is all the same except for the edge towing is 3980 and GCWR is 7500. I towed the popup and it pulls very easy and when hooking up to the truck it only lowered 2"
Heres the link. 2004 Ford Ranger Specifications
Unless you're misquoting or my eyes are screwed up (very possible), both towing capacities are capable of moving you pop-up, fail to see the problem. If your question is why the difference, possibly the pick up wasn't intended to tow in the stock arrangement.
Also, if you're dropping 2", yo might want to consider some sort of helper if you're towing it a lot or over long distances.
According to NADA, a 4D Ranger Edge with a 3.0 weighs 3166. 3166+2600=5766. 5866 would be the actual GCVW. The Ranger Edge spec you listed was 6000, you;re close but still under. Keep a close eye on your brakes.
The GVWR includes the net weight of the vehicle, plus the weight of passengers, fuel, cargo and any additional accessories.
The gross combination weight rating is a specific maximum weight limit determined by the manufacturer. The major difference is that the GCWR takes into account two individual (yet attached) vehicles -- the tow vehicle and the trailer.
CatSkinner, agree with your numbers. So just me and the Gas can go. lol
But what confused me was the link above which gave the edge a higher number.
Thanks for the help

Because of all the options (tow packages, ride packages, et. al.), it's best to stick to what ever's on your door. F150Net has a lot of usefil info, but I've found some conflicting items in there before.
