The Capable and Award-Winning Ford F-150 Pickup Truck

There’s a reason that the Ford F-150 has consistently been the most popular full-size pickup truck for several years: the capability. The well-equipped, versatile, and reliable truck is available in several configurations, all with remarkable towing capabilities. The new 2024 F-150 has been refreshed with new styling and trim levels all with the legendary power and capability under the hood.

Power Options Under the Hood

The Ford F-150 towing capacity varies depending on the cab, bed, and engine options. All Ford F-150 trucks have standard rear-wheel drive, and many come with four-wheel drive. All models have a 10-speed automatic transmission. For 2024, Ford added a new entry-level engine in the XL, STX, and XLT trims: a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 with 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Shoppers can choose several other powertrains including the popular 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine with 400 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. This engine comes standard in the luxurious King Ranch and Platinum trims, while Ford makes it optional for XL, XLT, Tremor, and Lariat trims. The same 3.5-liter PowerBoost engine is available as a hybrid with an electric motor, which ups the specs to 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque.

Drivers who want even more power can choose the Raptor with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 tuned to deliver 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. The Raptor R has a screaming fast 5.2-liter High-Output V8 with 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. A 5.0-liter V8 with 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque is standard in the F-150 Lariat and Tremor trim models.

Best-in-Class Towing Capability

Compared to the competition, the Ford F 150 towing capacity is the best in the class. When properly equipped, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 400 horsepower offers the top towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. This model with a SuperCrew box, 4×2 rear-wheel drive, and Max Tow package can handle a maximum payload of 2,445 pounds. Adding a Regular Cab to the same powertrain, the towing capacity drops to a respectable 10,900 pounds.

For the most towing capability, drivers should look to the Super Duty F-250 or F-350 models with more torque. Drivers who want more fuel economy or power in the F-150 models still have substantial towing capability. For example, the High-Output 3.5-liter V6 can tow up to 8,200 pounds, while the Raptor R can pull up to 8,700 pounds. Towing becomes more convenient and easy with optional features like the Pro-Trailer Backup Assist and a Locking Rear Differential.
