The Iconic Ford F-150

Drivers who want the most towing capability should choose an F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with a SuperCrew cab, 6.5-foot bed, and four-wheel drive. This model and configuration can tow up to 13,500 pounds. Other configurations and engine choices can tow between 8,200 pounds and 12,900 pounds.
Helpful Towing Technology
