The towing capacity of an F-150 truck will vary significantly with several factors. Most notably, the engine and cab/bed configuration of your next Ford F-150 will have the greatest impact on the towing capacity that you'll get.
Starting the roster of Ford F-150 engines, a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine serves as the standard choice that generates 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission pairs with this engine, and it makes use of regular gasoline. This engine provides a maximum F-150 towing capacity of 8,400 pounds when properly equipped.
Next, you can upgrade to a rumbling 5.0-liter V-8 engine to deliver 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. This V-8 also uses a 10-speed automatic transmission and regular gasoline. The maximum F-150 towing capacity is 12,900 pounds with this engine when properly equipped.
The best F-150 engine for towing is the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, which lets you tow up to 13,500 pounds.1 This results from its massive power: 400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic is here, too, and you can use regular gasoline with this engine.
The final "normal" F-150 engine is the 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full-Hybrid V-6 engine. It delivers 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid F-150 towing capacity is a maximum of 11,200 pounds.1
Exclusive to the F-150 Raptor, a High-Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 delivers 450 horsepower, 510 pound-feet of torque, and massive off-road performance. The F-150 towing capacity is the trade-off here, as the F-150 Raptor can tow up to 8,200 pounds.1 Lastly, the 5.2-liter Supercharged V-8 motor exclusive on the Raptor R variant kicks out 720 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque, and lets you tow up to 8,700 pounds.1
For cab choices, you can find a Regular Cab for a work-focused layout, a SuperCab for enhanced cabin versatility, or a SuperCrew cab for a spacious interior that can fit the family. Three bed sizes are available: 5.5 feet, 6.5 feet, and eight feet. Generally, SuperCab models with an 8-foot bed have the highest towing capacity. 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains are offered, but 4x2 layouts typically have a higher tow rating, while 4x4 models provide better traction and capability during inclement weather or when facing rough terrain.
There are some exceptions, though. For a comprehensive 2025 Ford F-150 towing capacity chart (with tow package), see how specs vary with the chart below. Please note that the maximum capacities listed may only be achievable with the available Max Tow Package equipped.

The F-150 payload capacity varies in a similar way to the towing capacity. Your choice of engine, cab, bed, and drivetrain will have an impact on how much payload a new F-150 for sale can carry.

Certain add-ons are necessary to maximize the towing capability of your pickup. This includes the 2025 F-150 trailer tow package – which you may see as the Tow/Haul Package – and the Max Tow Axle.
The Tow/Haul Package has all that and enhances the F-150 towing capacity with several upgrades. Beyond an F-150 trailer hitch and wiring harness, this package adds an integrated trailer brake controller, Pro Trailer Backup Assist (on select trims), a larger fuel tank (with certain engines), a Smart Trailer Tow Connector, an upgraded rear bumper, and a 3.55-ratio electronic-locking rear axle. The available Max Tow Axle is the key to getting the highest F-150 towing capacity and will change to a 3.73 gear ratio to unlock your vehicle's highest towing potential and increase what you can hook up to your F-150 tow hitch.
