2025 Ford F-150 Towing Capacity Guide: Which Model Tows Over 10,000 Pounds

When you need a truck that can handle serious towing jobs, the 2025 Ford F-150 stands ready to deliver exceptional capability. With various configurations capable of towing well beyond the 10,000-pound mark, the F-150 continues its legacy as Canada's workhouse pickup. Understanding which specific models offer the highest towing capacities helps you select the perfect truck for your heavy-duty needs.

The 2025 F-150's high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body paired with its fully boxed high-strength steel frame creates the foundation for impressive towing capabilities. This combination delivers the strength required for towing massive loads while maintaining reasonable fuel efficiency for daily driving. Let's examine exactly which 2025 F-150 configurations deliver towing capacities exceeding 10,000 pounds.

3.5L EcoBoost V6: The Towing Champion

The 2025 Ford F-150 equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine leads the lineup with an astonishing maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. This exceptional rating makes it the towing champion in the F-150 family. To achieve this maximum capacity, you'll need the SuperCrew configuration with a 6.5' box and 4x4 drivetrain, coupled with the Tow/Haul Package and the optional Max Tow Axle.

What makes the 3.5L EcoBoost so effective for towing? The twin-turbocharged setup delivers substantial low-end torque—exactly what you need when pulling heavy trailers. The engine's power delivery remains consistent throughout the RPM range, ensuring steady acceleration even with significant loads. This makes the EcoBoost V6 particularly well-suited for drivers who regularly tow heavy equipment, large boats, or substantial campers.

5.0L V8: Traditional Power With Modern Capabilities

If you prefer the proven reliability of V8 power, the 2025 F-150 with the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine delivers impressive towing numbers as well. Properly equipped with the 3.73 axle ratio, Tow/Haul Package (53T), and optional Max Tow Axle, this configuration can tow up to 12,900 pounds with conventional towing.

Even without all the towing extras, various 5.0L V8 configurations with the 3.73 axle ratio can still handle between 10,200 and 10,400 pounds, comfortably clearing the 10,000-pound threshold. The V8 option provides a balance of traditional truck performance with modern efficiency enhancements, making it appealing for those who value both capability and the distinctive sound and feel of eight cylinders.

3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6: Capability Meets Efficiency

For those wanting to balance impressive towing capability with improved fuel efficiency, the 2025 F-150 offers the innovative 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6. When equipped with the 3.73 axle ratio and the Tow/Haul Package with optional Max Tow Axle, this hybrid powerhouse can tow up to 11,200 pounds. Other hybrid configurations still manage to pull up to 10,800 pounds.

The PowerBoost hybrid system doesn't just deliver on towing—it also provides the benefit of an onboard generator system that can power tools and equipment at your worksite or campsite. This dual functionality makes the hybrid F-150 an excellent choice for contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs both towing capacity and portable power.

Smart Towing Technology For Confidence

The 2025 Ford F-150 pairs its raw towing muscle with sophisticated technology designed to make hauling easier and safer. The available Pro Trailer Backup Assist simplifies one of the most challenging aspects of towing—backing up with a trailer. By turning a knob in the direction you want the trailer to go, the system automatically steers your truck appropriately.

For solo operators, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist proves invaluable by automatically guiding your truck into position for hitching. The system handles steering, acceleration, and braking, eliminating the need for a spotter. Once on the road, the Smart Trailer Tow Connector keeps you informed about your trailer's status, alerting you to issues with lights or electrical connections before they become problems.

The Adaptive Suspension system automatically adjusts to match changing road conditions and vehicle loads. This technology is particularly valuable when towing, as it maintains optimal handling characteristics even with heavy trailers. Together, these technologies transform challenging towing tasks into manageable operations, giving you greater confidence behind the wheel.

Finding Your Perfect Heavy-Duty F-150

When selecting your 2025 Ford F-150 for heavy towing applications, consider your specific needs carefully. If maximum conventional towing capacity is your priority, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with the proper configuration delivers class-leading performance at 13,500 pounds. For those who prefer V8 power, the 5.0L engine offers nearly comparable capability at 12,900 pounds.

If you're interested in fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing, properly equipped F-150 models can handle up to 11,600 pounds with the 5.0L V8 and up to 11,400 pounds with the 3.5L EcoBoost. Remember that achieving these maximum ratings requires specific configurations, including the appropriate cab style, bed length, drive type, and towing packages.
