Which Configuration Has the Highest Ford F-150 Tow Capacity?

Now that you have reviewed the Ford F-150 towing capability of each configuration, you'll see that in order to hit the max 13,500-pound¹ rating, you'll need a 2025 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 4x4 equipped with a 6.5-foot truck bed and the available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. Keep in mind that for any of the truck configurations to pull a trailer or camper over 11,600 pounds,¹ it needs the Tow/Haul Package and the available Max Tow Axle, which will increase your overall Ford F-150 hitch rating. We'll discuss the details of the package later on.

2025 Ford F-150 Payload

When you're looking to carry heavy loads in the truck bed, a worthy payload capacity is crucial. The Ford F-150 max payload capacity is an impressive 2,440 pounds.² However, like the tow rating, this weight will depend on the engine, drivetrain, and bed size of your full-size truck.

To hit the max payload, you'll want to opt for the 2025 Ford F-150 Regular Cab 4x2 with an 8-foot bed and equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. Check out our Ford F-150 payload capacity chart to see the rating for each engine:

2025 Ford F-150 Tow/Haul Package

The 2025 Ford F-150 is a substantial truck designed for hard work. Its body-on-frame architecture, durable axles, and powerful engine options make it an ideal pickup for towing duties. But if you want to ensure your experience goes smoothly, especially if you plan to tow over 11,600 pounds,¹ you'll want to consider opting for the available Tow/Haul Package. This Ford F-150 tow package includes an enhanced rear axle ratio, an electronic locking rear differential, and a Trailer Brake Controller.

A Class IV Trailer Hitch receiver and a seven-wire harness and a four-/seven-pin connector are standard equipment for every 2025 Ford F-150, forming the foundation for the Tow/Haul Package. This type of hitch receiver is generally designed for towing significant loads up to 10,000 pounds.

We also recommend searching for an F-150 with the following towing technology, as they help put the Tow/Haul Package upgrades to better use:

• Smart Trailer Tow Connector: This convenient feature monitors your trailer for issues. It can let you know if your turn signals, reverse lights, or brake lights are experiencing problems via your productivity screen.
• Pro Trailer Backup Assist: Backing up your trailer or camper is a breeze with this technology. Turn the dash-mounted rotary dial, and your trailer will follow.
• Pro Trailer Hitch Assist: An innovative feature that effortlessly steers, accelerates, and brakes to guide your truck into position.

2025 F-150 Tow/Haul Package vs. F-150 Max Tow Axle

When considering which of the 2025 Ford F-150 packages to choose, there are some important differences to consider if you're unclear on which one would best suit your requirements.

As you can see above, the Tow/Haul Package unlocks even more capability on top of the standard hitch receiver; for the 2025 model, however, the Max Tow Axle upgrade is what you need to achieve the maximum 13,500-pound towing capacity. It enhances your trailer hitch with a 2-inch reinforced receiver rated at 14,000 pounds, instead of the standard 11,600 pounds. It allows you the most towing capability you can get out of this light-duty pickup before moving up to the Ford F-250 Super Duty.

Many of the tow ratings listed above require the Tow/Haul Package and the Max Tow Axle upgrade or both. To order all the 2025 Ford F-150 towing accessories you'll need for the job, give our Ford dealer a call today and set up a convenient installation at Tom Wood Ford.
