2025 Ford F-150
Ford lists a maximum of 13,500 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2025 Ford F-150 in its 2025 Ford RV & Trailer Towing Guide. That rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost. Requires the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle. This is the available maximum in Ford's engine table, not every SuperCrew. Most configurations are rated lower: 57 of the 58 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2025 are below 13,500 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2025 Ford F-150 are 11,600 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch and 11,600 lb on a gooseneck hitch. Across 152 manufacturer chart rows for 2025, 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 2,440 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 2,440 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 2,440 lb, and it is not the same truck unless the configurations match.

Questions
- How much can a 2025 Ford F-150 tow?
- Ford lists a maximum of 13,500 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2025 Ford F-150 in its 2025 Ford RV & Trailer Towing Guide. That rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost. Requires the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle. This is the available maximum in Ford's engine table, not every SuperCrew. Most configurations are rated lower: 57 of the 58 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2025 are below 13,500 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2025 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 2025?
- Compare the cited 2025 figures on this page with the 2024 record. They are stored separately.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 13,500 lb conventional maximum requires the 3.5L EcoBoost. Requires the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle. This is the available maximum in Ford's engine table, not every SuperCrew.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2025 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.
