Other cited maximums for the 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty are 22,000 lb on a conventional hitch and 22,300 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch. Across 306 manufacturer chart rows for 2023, ratings run conventional 13,800 lb to 22,000 lb; fifth-wheel 12,100 lb to 22,300 lb; gooseneck 13,200 lb to 23,000 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 22,000 lb conventional maximum is 2,200 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 22,300 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 3,345 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 23,000 lb gooseneck maximum is 3,450 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Questions
- How much can a 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty tow?
- The highest gooseneck-hitch rating for the 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty is 23,000 lb, the top of 103 rows transcribed from Ford’s 2023 Ford RV & Trailer Towing Guide (revision r4 Mar1). That row is printed for the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 High Output, Regular Cab, 8' Box bed, 2WD, 141.6-in wheelbase, 3.31 axle, F-250 High-Capacity Axle Upgrade Package (535). Most configurations are rated lower: 101 of the 103 transcribed gooseneck-hitch chart rows for 2023 are below 23,000 lb. Other cited maximums for the 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty are 22,000 lb on a conventional hitch and 22,300 lb on a fifth-wheel hitch.

- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2023 F-250 Super Duty?
- At the cited 22,000 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 2,200 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 22,300 lb fifth-wheel maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 3,345 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 23,000 lb gooseneck maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 3,450 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.
