No, the newer Rangers are not that much heavier. There is no tag on the truck that indicates its curb weight--full fluids but no people or cargo. The tag indicated gross weight--maximum loaded weight.
2007 4x4 XLT ext cab= 3,672# curb with a GVWR of 5,000#
1993 4X4 XLT ext cab= 3,516# curb with a GVWR of 4,840#
And the '93 is shown with the 3.0 as that's the base motor for that truck. They're the same weight.
The 7,700# tow weight is way off. In the '91 Owners Guide the maximum towing ability was 6,000# and that was with the 4.0 with 3.73s and the auto.
Ford Towing Guide lists the 2007 Ranger maximum at 6,000# for the 2wd 4.0. Several years of guides are on that site.
See the line that says Gross Combined Weight Rating? That's maximum possible weight of truck and trailer. So if your truck is loaded to it's 5,000# gross weight then you can only pull a 4,500# trailer. If the 3,500# curb weight truck has only the driver and not even your sunglasses in the glovebox, you could pull close to 6,000#.
