Ford F-150 Towing Capacity in Depth
Depending on the configuration you choose, the F-150 models equipped for towing can trailer anywhere between 5,000 and 13,200 pounds. At the low end of that scale, you'll have enough power to tow a small boat or hard-side RV. At the high end, large boats, camping trailers, and car haulers are in play.
To achieve that max tow rating, you'll want to equip your F-150 with the High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6, the SuperCrew cab, the 5.5-foot bed, and rear-wheel drive (RWD). It's the only combination that gets you all the way to that 13,200-pound figure.
The High-Output EcoBoost®, with an incredible 510 lb-ft of torque on tap, makes towing of this caliber not only possible, but an easy reality. All that torque comes in handy when you need to tow!
Technology: Ford Towing Made Smart
The Ford F-150 has many features to make towing easier than ever. As part of the standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ system, you'll get Trailer Sway Control to keep the trailer balanced on slippery roads or around winding turns.
Meanwhile, a standard smart trailer tow connector alerts you to connectivity, lighting, or battery issues. Available features for towing include Pro Trailer Backup Assistâ„¢, which keeps the truck and trailer in sync when backing up.
An optional Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) offers trailer coverage, so it can alert you when another vehicle is in your blind spot or alongside the trailer. You can change lanes with more confidence!
F-150 Payload & Cargo Considerations
Towing is just one way to move belongings from Point A to Point B. For the smaller stuff, you can find plenty of space in the cabin or cargo bed. The SuperCab and SuperCrew cabs feature a fully flat load floor as well as storage under the rear seats.
The cargo box itself comes in three different lengths-5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, and 8-foot-and offers available LED lighting, so you can easily load and unload after the sun goes down. All told, this truck has a maximum payload of 3,270 pounds, so you can stack that cargo bed high with everything you need.
