What is the Towing Capacity of a Ford F-150?

Since it first came out almost 50 years ago, the Ford F-150 has been one of the hottest-selling trucks in the O'Fallon area. A major factor in this truck’s success is the F-150 towing capacity. You can tow up to 13,500 pounds when you have the proper towing equipment, to say nothing of the competitive Ford F-150 payload. Pundmann Ford wants you to see one of these trucks for yourself in Saint Charles.
