"The V-8 is equipped with cylinder deactivation to save fuel, but when all eight holes are alight, the 6.2-liter engine enables a 12,000-pound tow rating when teamed with the Max Trailering package, which includes an automatic locking heavy-duty rear axle with a 3.73:1 ratio, beefier rear leaf springs, new shocks, a trailer brake controller, and a larger radiator. That’s a 1300-pound towing bump from 2013, and at this moment, it’s 700 and 1550 pounds up on the F-150 and Ram 1500, respectively.

It also tops every other V-8 half-ton pickup on the market. Ford’s 6.2-liter V-8, with 411 hp and 434 lb-ft, loses the top spot, while Ram’s 5.7-liter Hemi (395 hp, 410 lb-ft), Toyota’s 5.7-liter iForce (381 hp, 401 lb-ft), and Nissan’s 5.6-liter Endurance (317 hp, 385 lb-ft) eight pots fall short, too."
