Ford towing capacity, by configuration

There are 374 published Ford configurations here across 16 models, and they span 1,000 to 30,000 lb. A single number for a Ford model is wrong for most of them — the Maverick alone spans 2,000–4,000 lb on the same badge.

Pick your model, then find your exact configuration on its page. The tow rating is where you start — what you actually need to buy is sized to the trailer, not the truck.

Common questions

How much can a Ford tow?

It depends entirely on the exact configuration, not the model name. Across the 16 Ford vehicles published here there are 374 distinct configurations ranging from 1,000 to 30,000 lb. Find your own model in the table on this page, then your exact engine, drivetrain, cab and bed combination on its page.

Why does one Ford model have more than one tow rating?

Because the rating is set by the configuration, not the badge. The Ford Maverick is the clearest example here: it spans 2,000–4,000 lb, a 100% difference between its lowest and highest published configuration. Two trucks with the same name on the tailgate can be thousands of pounds apart.

Where do these Ford numbers come from?

Each one is read positionally from Ford's own published towing chart or specification page, linked on every vehicle page. We publish no figure we cannot point at a manufacturer source for. See how this is made.

Why is there no payload figure for Ford here?

Because payload is specific to your individual vehicle, not to the model — it is printed on the certification label in your driver's door jamb. Your tongue weight counts against it, which is why it matters when you tow.
