2024 Ford F-150
Ford lists a maximum of 13,500 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2024 Ford F-150 in its 2024 F-150 towing guide, revision V3. That rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost SuperCrew, 6.5-ft box, 4x4, Tow/Haul Package and optional Max Tow Axle. Most configurations are rated lower: 60 of the 61 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2024 are below 13,500 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2024 Ford F-150 are 11,600 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch and 11,600 lb on a gooseneck hitch. Across 173 manufacturer chart rows for 2024, ratings run conventional 7,400 lb to 13,500 lb; fifth-wheel 7,000 lb to 11,600 lb; gooseneck 7,000 lb to 11,600 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 13,500 lb conventional maximum is 1,350 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher. The payload figure on file is 2,445 lb, and it is not the same truck unless the configurations match.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 11,600 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 1,740 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher. The payload figure on file is 2,445 lb, and it is not the same truck unless the configurations match.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 11,600 lb gooseneck maximum is 1,740 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher. The payload figure on file is 2,445 lb, and it is not the same truck unless the configurations match.

Fourteenth generation
2024 is year 4 of this generation (2021–2026). Redesigned for 2021, with the PowerBoost hybrid added that year. A 2024 update stayed on this generation. The 2026 towing guide is the cited chart for the newest year, and it does not apply backward.

Questions
- How much can a 2024 Ford F-150 tow?
- Ford lists a maximum of 13,500 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2024 Ford F-150 in its 2024 F-150 towing guide, revision V3. That rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost SuperCrew, 6.5-ft box, 4x4, Tow/Haul Package and optional Max Tow Axle. Most configurations are rated lower: 60 of the 61 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2024 are below 13,500 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2024 Ford F-150 are 11,600 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch and 11,600 lb on a gooseneck hitch.
- Did F-150 towing change for 2024?
- Refresh of the fourteenth generation. The 2026 towing guide is a later document.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 13,500 lb conventional maximum requires the 3.5L EcoBoost SuperCrew, 6.5-ft box, 4x4, Tow/Haul Package and optional Max Tow Axle.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2024 F-150?
- At the cited 13,500 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 1,350 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. At the cited 11,600 lb fifth-wheel maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 1,740 lb of pin weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. At the cited 11,600 lb gooseneck maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 1,740 lb of pin weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
