2026 Ford F-150 towing capacity

US & Canada

Every rating Ford publishes for the 2026 F-150, read from Ford's own documents, in pounds and kilograms.

How much can the 2026 Ford F-150 tow?

13,500 lb Max conventional towing (6,123 kg)
11,700 lb Max fifth wheel or gooseneck (5,307 kg)
2,440 lb Max payload (1,107 kg)
1,400 lb Max conventional tongue load (635 kg)

Ford rates the 2026 Ford F-150 to tow up to 13,500 lb (6,123 kg) on a ball hitch in one configuration: 3.5L EcoBoost V6, SuperCrew, 157.2 in WB, 4x4, 3.55 axle, at 19,400 lb GCWR, with Tow/Haul Package (53T) and optional Max Tow Axle. Source: Ford, 2026 F-150 Towing Information (v4), conventional and 5th-wheel tables, PDF pp. 1 to 5. The highest fifth wheel or gooseneck rating is 11,700 lb (5,307 kg) (Ford, 2026 F-150 Towing Information (v4), conventional and 5th-wheel tables, PDF pp. 1 to 5). Maximum payload is 2,440 lb (1,107 kg) (Ford, 2026 F-150 Towing Information (v4), conventional and 5th-wheel tables, PDF pp. 1 to 5). The highest conventional tongue load Ford publishes is 1,400 lb (635 kg) (Ford, 2026 F-150 Towing Information (v4), trailer tow packages, hitch receivers and required equipment, PDF p. 6).

A maximum is one truck, not yours. The rating that applies is the one for your exact cab, bed, engine, drive, axle and packages, and it is printed on the labels in the driver's door opening. Find your row in the table below, then check payload and GCWR as well: a truck often runs out of payload before it reaches its tow rating.

About the figures.

On the hybrid page Ford prints 7,100 in the GCWR column for the rows without the Max Tow Axle. That cannot be a combination rating for a truck that tows 10,800 lb, so we left those GCWR cells blank rather than guess. Ford Canada's guide prints 17,100 lb for its hybrid rows.

What the F-150 needs to tow its rating

These come from Ford's own documents, cited in the sources below.

  • Ford, on every conventional table: do not exceed a 5,000 lb trailer without a weight-distribution system.
  • Gas F-150 trailers over 11,600 lb need the Tow/Haul Package (53T) and the optional Max Tow Axle; on the PowerBoost hybrid the line is 10,800 lb. Ford warns the New Vehicle Limited Warranty may be voided if you tow without them.
  • Receiver: the standard 2 in receiver is rated 11,600 lb, and the Max Tow Axle brings a reinforced 2 in receiver rated 14,000 lb. Ford's chart: 5,000 lb trailer and 500 lb tongue weight-carrying, 13,500 lb and 1,400 lb weight-distributing (the latter with the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle).
  • Ford sets tongue load at 10% of the loaded trailer weight and fifth-wheel king pin load at 15%, and both count against payload, the rear GAWR and GVWR.
  • Trailer frontal area: 55 sq ft at a tow rating of 7,700 lb or less, 65 sq ft above that, 75 sq ft for any fifth wheel or gooseneck.
  • Fifth wheel: not recommended on the Raptor. A 5.5 ft box accepts a fifth-wheel hitch, but Ford says most fifth-wheel trailer designs are not compatible with it.

Payload, tongue weight and GCWR: the limits you hit first

Our guidance, not a rule. This is how the ratings above fit together, not a figure from Ford.

The tow rating is only one of five limits. The trailer's tongue weight sits on the truck, so it comes out of payload along with every passenger and everything in the bed, and it loads the rear axle. The truck and trailer together must stay under GCWR. A truck with a big crew and a full bed can reach its payload or GCWR with a trailer well under its tow rating. Run your own numbers in Can I tow this?, which checks all three at once and names the one you hit first, or work through them one at a time with the payload calculator and the tongue weight calculator.

2026 Ford F-150 towing capacity in Canada

Ford Canada's 2026 F-150 towing guide prints the same 13,500 lb maximum, the same 2,440 lb payload, the same gas engine tables and the same receiver ratings. It differs on the PowerBoost hybrid: Canada lists only SuperCrew 4x4 hybrids, at up to 11,600 lb on a 3.55 axle, where the US guide also lists 4x2 hybrids at up to 12,400 lb. Source: Ford Canada, 2026 RV & Trailer Towing Guide, F-150 Pickup section .

On a Canadian truck the certification label gives GVWR in kilograms, labelled both GVWR and PNBV (Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (C.R.C., c. 1038), s. 6(1)(e)(i)). The figures to trust are the ones on your own door opening.

Common questions

How much can a 2026 Ford F-150 tow?
Up to 13,500 lb (6,123 kg) on a ball hitch, in Ford's own guide. That rating is for the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 in a SuperCrew 4x4 with the 157.2 in wheelbase, a 3.55 axle and the Tow/Haul Package with the optional Max Tow Axle, at 19,400 lb GCWR. Most F-150s are rated lower: the table on this page has every configuration Ford prints, and the rating for your truck is on its door labels.
What is the F-150 towing capacity by engine?
Ford's 2026 maximums: 2.7L EcoBoost 8,400 lb, 3.5L EcoBoost 13,500 lb, 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid 12,400 lb, 5.0L V8 12,800 lb, 3.5L EcoBoost H.O. (Raptor) 8,200 lb and 5.2L supercharged V8 (Raptor R) 8,700 lb. The 13,500, 12,400 and 12,800 lb figures need the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle.
What does the F-150 max tow package add to towing capacity?
Ford calls it the Tow/Haul Package (53T) with the optional Max Tow Axle, and it is required for any gas F-150 trailer over 11,600 lb (10,800 lb on the hybrid). On a 3.5L EcoBoost SuperCrew 4x4 with the 157.2 in wheelbase the rating goes from 10,900 lb to 13,500 lb; on a 5.0L SuperCrew 4x2 from 10,400 lb to 12,800 lb. The Max Tow Axle also brings a reinforced receiver rated 14,000 lb.
What is the payload capacity of a 2026 F-150?
Ford's maximum is 2,440 lb, with the 3.5L EcoBoost. By engine: 2.7L EcoBoost 1,775 lb, 3.5L PowerBoost 1,740 lb, 5.0L V8 2,235 lb, Raptor 1,405 lb (37 in tires) and Raptor R 1,410 lb. Ford adds that max payload varies with accessories and configuration, and the figure for your truck is on the label in the driver's door jamb.
How much tongue weight can an F-150 handle?
Ford rates the F-150 receiver at 500 lb of tongue weight on a weight-carrying hitch (with a 5,000 lb trailer) and 1,400 lb on a weight-distributing hitch (with a 13,500 lb trailer, which needs the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle). Ford sets tongue weight at 10% of the loaded trailer, and that weight comes out of your payload.
What is the F-150 trailer hitch rating, and what class is it?
Ford rates the standard 2 in receiver at 11,600 lb and the reinforced receiver that comes with the Max Tow Axle at 14,000 lb, with the weight-carrying and weight-distributing capacities on a label on the receiver itself. Ford's towing guide gives these ratings rather than a hitch class; the Hitch class finder on this site maps a rating to a class.
What is the F-150 fifth wheel and gooseneck towing capacity?
Up to 11,700 lb in Ford's 5th-wheel/gooseneck table, on a 5.0L V8 SuperCrew 4x2 with the 145.4 in wheelbase at 18,100 lb GCWR with the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle. The 3.5L EcoBoost tops out at 10,800 lb and the hybrid at 9,200 lb. Ford does not recommend fifth-wheel towing on the Raptor, and says most fifth-wheel trailers do not suit the 5.5 ft box.
What is the GCWR of a 2026 F-150?
From 12,300 lb (2.7L EcoBoost) to 19,400 lb (3.5L EcoBoost with the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle) in Ford's conventional tables; the hybrid with the package is 18,400 lb. GCWR is the most the loaded truck and loaded trailer may weigh together, so a heavy truck can hit it before the trailer rating.
What is the best axle ratio for towing with an F-150?
In Ford's 2026 tables the highest ratings come with the 3.55 axle on the 3.5L EcoBoost and the 3.73 axle on the 5.0L V8 and 2.7L EcoBoost, each combined with the Tow/Haul Package where marked. Your axle is the two-character code after AXLE on the door label. Ford's chart: 3.15 is code 15; 3.31 is 27, or L3 with the electronic locking axle; 3.55 is 19 or L9; 3.73 is L6; 4.10 is L4.
Is the F-150 towing capacity the same in Canada?
For the gas engines, yes: Ford Canada's 2026 guide prints the same tables, the same 13,500 lb maximum and the same 2,440 lb payload. The hybrid differs: Canada lists only SuperCrew 4x4 PowerBoost trucks, at up to 11,600 lb, where the US guide goes to 12,400 lb on a 4x2.
