It really depends on the engine/transmission application of the vehicle.
From the 1996 Ranger manual For 4x2 vehicles with automatic transmission - Transmission in Neutral, max speed of 35 MPH, max distance is 50 miles. Or, you can disconnect the drive shaft - then the maximum speed is 55 MPH with no distance limits. If you tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground (or even just the back wheels) and fail to disconnect the drive shaft, you will do major damage to the differential - it will overheat, and possibly catch fire. For the 4x2 with manual transmission - put it in neutral, be sure the brake is released, and there are no limits. Ford manuals are available at www.motorcraftservice.com, click on the "Owner's Guide" link on the left side of the page. They only go back to the 1996 model year though.
Yes it can for a short distance of a couple of blocks if you are sure to put the escape in neutral and tow a about 15 miles an hour or less. If you have a four cylinder in your ranger I wouldn't attempt much more that that. If you have a V6 and need to tow it a few miles you need to get a tow dolly from U haul or somewhere and watch your trucks temperature gauge to make sure you don't over heat your Ranger. In the long run it is probably cheaper to call for a tow truck.
2 wheel drive with manual transmission - YES - no restrictions
The toe board is in the front footwell . It's the angled piece at the front of your feet at the firewall which divides the passenger compartment from the engine compartment
If the truck is manual trans, just put it in neutral and tow away.. if it is automatic, you will need to disconnect the driveshaft or risk ruining the transmission.
