Ford F-150 Towing Capacity
Do you need a vehicle with a lot of muscle? The Ford F-150 offers so much capability, especially when it comes to towing capacity. The SmartLots team, serving the areas of Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, and DeLand, FL, is here to tell you all about the Ford F-150 towing capacity and how it can help you achieve anything!
How Much Weight Can the Ford F-150 Tow?
No matter where you're going or what you're doing, the Ford F-150 will be by your side. At its best, the F-150 can tow up to 13,500 pounds, so go ahead and link up that large trailer, boat, etc.—your truck can handle it! When properly equipped, the F-150 has an available payload rating of 2,445 pounds.
Thanks to various technologies, you'll have added assistance when using your F-150 to tow a heavy load. For example, the available Smart Hitch can help you practice safe towing by properly distributing weight in your trailer. Easily keep tabs on your trailer with the available Smart Trailer Tow Connector; it will let you know if your trailer needs attention.
Gone are the days of needing a spotter, as the Dynamic Hitch Assist uses the truck's backup camera to help you safely line up and attach your trailer. If you add items to the truck bed, available onboard scales will estimate payload weight, so you'll know how much your truck can handle.
