Trucks

Ford towing capacity

Ford sells more than one truck. Each nameplate below has its own model years, and those years do not share a towing number unless a source says they do.

F-150

Half-ton · 27 model years

America's highest-volume half-ton. Towing changes with the generation, and inside a generation it changes again with engine, axle, cab, bed, and tow package.

Cited years: 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026

F-150 Lightning

Half-ton · 5 model years

Battery-electric F-150. Range falls while towing, and the maximum trailer rating depends on battery and tow package rather than a gas engine.

Cited years: 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026

F-250 Super Duty

3/4-ton · 28 model years

The lightest Super Duty. Conventional, fifth-wheel, and gooseneck ratings are different numbers, often from different cabs and axle packages.

Cited years: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026

F-350 Super Duty

1-ton · 28 model years

Single- and dual-rear-wheel one-ton. The truck that hits the gooseneck maximum is not the truck most people configure for a daily driver.

Cited years: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026

F-450 Super Duty

1-ton · 19 model years

Pickup version of the F-450, above the F-350. Ford's published Super Duty ceiling is a gooseneck rating on a specific high-output diesel package.

Cited years: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025, 2026

Ranger

Midsize · 20 model years

Ford's midsize pickup. It was out of the U.S. lineup for 2012 through 2018, so those years have no pages.

Cited years: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026

Maverick

Compact · 5 model years

Compact unibody pickup. Hybrid and EcoBoost towing are not interchangeable from year to year; the 4K Tow Package is what moves the rating.

Cited years: 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026
