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 4,000 lb conventional maximum is 400 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Generation
First generation
2023 is year 2 of this generation (2022–2026). Unibody compact pickup. Which powertrain can be equipped for 4,000 pounds changed during this generation; only a cited year carries that claim.
2023 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 5 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
| Engine | Conventional | Chart rows |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 | 2,000–4,000 lb | 4 |
| 2.5L Hybrid I-4 | 2,000 lb | 1 |
