FAQ

How much can a Ford F-150 tow?

Up to 13,500 lb when properly equipped (2021–present) — 3.5L EcoBoost + Max Trailer Tow; most trucks tow far less.. That's the best-case maximum; most F-150 trucks/SUVs are rated lower depending on engine, axle, and tow package. Check your driver's door-jamb label for your exact rating.

Is 13,500 lb the rating for my F-150?

Probably not — it's the highest figure for the best-equipped configuration. Your specific vehicle's towing capacity is on its door-jamb label and in the year-specific towing guide, and is the number you must obey.

What about tongue weight and passengers?

Tongue weight (about 10–15% of the loaded trailer) and everything in the cab — passengers, cargo, fuel — count against your payload and limits. Leave headroom rather than towing right at the maximum.

The Ford F-150 figure is a best-case maximum for a properly-equipped configuration, provided as a reference. Your vehicle's actual towing capacity is lower and is on its door-jamb label and year-specific towing guide — always verify there before towing.
