 Ford offers an outstanding lineup of capable, hard-working trucks to meet any towing need, from the compact Maverick to the heavy-duty Super Duty. Whether you need to tow a small trailer or a massive fifth-wheel, there's a Ford truck ready to get the job done. Let's take a closer look at how much each Ford truck can tow.
Ford Maverick: Capable Compact Pickup
The Ford Maverick is the smallest truck in the lineup but still provides a useful maximum towing capacity of 4,000 pounds when properly equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine and 4K Tow Package. That's enough for towing jet skis, ATVs, a small boat, or a pop-up camper. The Maverick is a great choice for Watertown, WI residents who need a city-friendly truck that can still handle some weekend adventures.
Ford Ranger: Midsize Towing Power
Stepping up to the midsize Ford Ranger unlocks more towing capability. When equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, the Ranger can conventionally tow up to 7,500 pounds - enough for a good-sized travel trailer or fishing boat. Oconomowoc outdoor enthusiasts looking for a rugged truck to tow their gear will find a lot to like in the Ranger's towing capacity.
Ford F-150: The Towing Champ
The Ford F-150 offers the most towing capability and engine choices of any light-duty full-size pickup. The F-150's maximum towing capacity ranges from 8,200 lbs with the base 3.3L V6 up to 14,000 pounds with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6. For even more towing power, the available 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 enables the F-150 to tow up to an impressive 12,700 pounds In Jefferson, WI and surrounding areas, the F-150 is a top choice for towing horse trailers, large boats, and campers.
For the greatest diesel towing performance in the F-150 lineup, the available 3.0L PowerStroke Turbo Diesel provides up to 12,100 pounds of maximum towing. This engine delivers its peak torque across the lower rev range for exceptional pulling power. It's a smart choice for Beaver Dam, WI drivers who frequently tow heavy loads over long distances.
Ford Super Duty: The Heavy-Duty Towing King
When you have seriously massive towing demands, step up to the immensely capable Ford Super Duty. The Super Duty's maximum fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing capacity ranges from 12,900 pounds for the Ford F-250 and up to a best-in-class 37,000 pounds for the Ford F-450 when equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel V8 and Max Tow Package.
