Towing Capacity of the Ford Trucks

If you are looking to purchase a Ford truck and have some things that will need to be towed around Hazelwood, you want to ensure that you are getting a truck with enough towing capacity. Otherwise, you could find yourself stuck or trying to put too much strain on the engine when driving around Saint Louis.

Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 is a hard-working truck and can be found in different engine sizes. The 3.3L Ti?VCT V6 engine has an available payload of 1,955 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 8,200 pounds. If you like the F-150 but need to tow heavier things, then look for one with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine. That has a maximum payload of up to 3,235 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds.

Ford F-250 Super Duty

If you are looking at a Ford F-250 Super Duty regular cab with a 6.8L V8 engine, you should see a maximum towing capacity of 14,800 pounds. If you want that same truck and engine in the super cab, then you are probably looking at a maximum towing capacity of 14,400.

Those who love the super duty but want the most towing capacity available for it, then the engine needs to be the 6.7-liter V8 H.O. Turbo Diesel on the 4×4 164.2-inch WB eight-foot box for a maximum towing capacity of up to 22,000 pounds.
