2026 Ford F-150

Ford lists a maximum of 13,500 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2026 Ford F-150 in its 2026 F-150 Towing Information. That rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost, Tow/Haul Package, and Max Tow Axle. Ford lists this as the available maximum, not as every SuperCrew. Most configurations are rated lower: 62 of the 63 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2026 are below 13,500 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2026 Ford F-150 are 11,700 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch and 11,700 lb on a gooseneck hitch. Across 167 manufacturer chart rows for 2026, ratings run conventional 7,400 lb to 13,500 lb; fifth-wheel 7,000 lb to 11,700 lb; gooseneck 7,000 lb to 11,700 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

Orderable builds

73 combinations of trim, cab, bed, drivetrain, and engine from the 2026 order guide. Trim does not get its own tow rating. A 2.7L is not offered on every wheelbase, and a Lariat is not offered as a regular cab.

73 of 73 orderable builds (first 20 shown). The engine ceiling is the highest figure in the towing guide for that engine. It is not this row’s rating. “This row” is the range of conventional-hitch cells the towing chart prints for the same engine, cab, drivetrain and wheelbase; the axle ratio and package you order pick the cell.

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 11,700 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 1,755 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 11,700 lb gooseneck maximum is 1,755 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.

Tongue and pin weight
Ford says conventional tongue weight should be 10 percent of the loaded trailer. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck kingpin weight should be 15 percent. That load, plus people and cargo, has to fit in payload without exceeding GVWR or rear GAWR.
Weight distribution
Do not tow more than 5,000 pounds without a weight-distribution system.
Trailer frontal area
Maximum trailer frontal area is 55 square feet when the tow rating is 7,700 pounds or less, 65 square feet above that, and 75 square feet for fifth-wheel and gooseneck.
Fifth-wheel clearance
Ford lists a maximum tailgate height of 58.3 inches for a 4x4 at base curb weight, measured to the top of the closed tailgate lip. Fifth-wheel towing is not recommended on Raptor. A 5.5-foot box can accept a fifth-wheel hitch, but Ford says most fifth-wheel trailers are not compatible with it.

Questions

How much can a 2026 Ford F-150 tow?
Ford lists a maximum of 13,500 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2026 Ford F-150 in its 2026 F-150 Towing Information. That rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost, Tow/Haul Package, and Max Tow Axle. Ford lists this as the available maximum, not as every SuperCrew. Most configurations are rated lower: 62 of the 63 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2026 are below 13,500 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2026 Ford F-150 are 11,700 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch and 11,700 lb on a gooseneck hitch.
Did F-150 towing change for 2026?
Ford's towing guide lists 13,500 pounds for the 3.5L EcoBoost with the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle. The PowerBoost guide listing is 12,400 pounds; Ford's specs page has also shown 11,600.
Which configuration hits the maximum?
The 13,500 lb conventional maximum requires the 3.5L EcoBoost, Tow/Haul Package, and Max Tow Axle. Ford lists this as the available maximum, not as every SuperCrew.
What tongue weight should I plan for a 2026 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 11,700 lb fifth-wheel maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 1,755 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 11,700 lb gooseneck maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 1,755 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.
