Way off dude. Rednecks drive full size 4x4 trucks and would not be caught dead driving a Mazda.

It does answer the question of "can I tow with a Mazda". yes.
Should you tow something that big in a Mazda? NO!

I think Mazda's pickup is the same as a Ford Ranger.

Pretty much, and I wouldn't DREAM of towing that boat w/ my Ranger, even though it is 4x4 w/ the off-road and towing packages!!!

Current Mazda pickups have tow ratings to 5600 pounds. Just needs to redistribute some weight and add air springs on the truck. Problem solved

Certainly looks unbelievable!!!

Good thing you had a camera at the ready! lol

You beat me to it. That truck may be rated to tow that boat. The trailer axle might just be to far back placing a large load on the tongue, destroying the rear differential in that truck most likely.

Isn't that truck the same as an F-150?

Truly unbelieveable that some people would drive with a cracked windshield AND take pictures at the same time! On the interstate even! Incredible!

Yeah its the same as a Ranger. Thats also a truck a redneck would not drive.
Rednecks like full size 4x4 diesel trucks (as in 1/2 ton or bigger).

Its the same as a ranger not F150.

I was not aware a Ranger could tow as much as some have pointed out. It makes the guy in the picture that much dumber if all he had to do was set up the trailer correctly.

Exactly! Although I shouldn't have, I towed a 6x12 Uhaul trailer to MN from IN that was WAY over loaded. I made the trip safely (and slowly) but it would have taken very little to loose it, and someone w/ less towing knowledge would have lost it several times along the trip. Now being "older and wiser" I would never do that again!
