Ford F-150 Towing Capacity
Conquering the most difficult challenges is just one of the many ways the Ford F-150 has earned its legendary reputation. You’ll have your choice of a total of four proven powertrain configurations, making it easier than ever to find an F-150 that’s perfect for your lifestyle. The F-150 is assembled with a military-grade, aluminum-alloy body construction along with a fully-boxed frame composed of 78 percent high-strength steel. Designed to excel at both work and play, the Ford F-150 has the versatility and strength to make towing your largest cargo virtually effortless.

Ford F-150 Lightning Towing Capacity
At a glance, it might be difficult to tell the difference between the Lightning and the standard F-150. That’s by design, the Lightning is all F-150 but still just different enough that we’re giving it its own section. The big difference is the fully electric drivetrain. This comes with a range of up to 320 miles and enough power to hit 60 MPH in under 4 seconds. There are two different battery configurations available which come with different horsepower ratings and maximum ranges. But both deliver impressive levels of low-end torque which is exactly what you want for towing. You might have seen the F-150 Lightning launch event where it towed a 1 million-pound train. Well, Ford doesn’t recommend you try that yourself but the recommended towing capacities of the F-150 Lightning are still impressive.

To help boost both efficiency and response, it’s also paired with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission. Shoppers can also step up to the muscular 2.7-liter EcoBoost to receive an impressive 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with the available FX4 Off-Road Package, you’ll also enjoy the benefits of off-road-tuned shocks, all-terrain tires, and the dynamic Terrain Management System™ which debuted on the F-150 Raptor.
