You can pick up a towing guide from your Ford dealer which will tell you exactly the maximum trailer weight (which includes all passengers, cargo and towed weight) your truck is rated for. My best guess would be something like 7,000 to 7,500 lb. PROVIDED you don't go over your GVWR (listed on the door post). Good luck / Skip

Skip, sadly you incorrect.

You do not "need" to go to the dealer.

The towing guide for the F150 IS ONLINE.

HERE

Additionally you are also incorrect that the ACTUAL towing weight is listed in that guide.

READ THE FINE PRINT AT BOTTOM OF PAGE 2 (I will post that fine print for you.. Please kindly NOTE the text that I have bolded below..


Select column with transmission, cab design and drive system (4x2 or 4x4) you prefer. Read down column to find the trailer weight that can be towed with engine/axle ratio combinations
listed at left.

GCWR column shows maximum allowable combined weight of vehicle, trailer and cargo (including passengers) for each engine/axle ratio combination.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight assumes a towing vehicle with any mandatory options, no cargo, tongue load of 10-15% (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15-25% (5th-wheel trailer) and driver only (150 pounds).

Weight of additional options, passengers, cargo and hitch must be deducted from this weight. Also check Required and Recommended Equipment

End of text..

The towing weight listed is BASED on the BASIC BARE BONES truck and often the highest towing numbers will be for a regular cab 4x2. Anything else and you will have less towing capacity due to options weights..

It is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to know the exact weights of each and every option that the truck was ordered with, nor is there anyway you could figure out every possible GVWR package in order to come up with what each truck can tow.

Therefore the BEST way to determine is STUCK ON THE DRIVERS DOOR JAMB.. Ford HAS DONE ALL THE WORK and stuck it on the drivers side door sticker.
