Such as it has to have the Heavy Duty Payload Package (HDPP), 157" WB, 20-inch wheels, to name a few. You have to check the Payload sticker on the door of the truck to be sure of what you are getting.
Whatever F150 setup you choose, make sure it has the Max Tow Package. Can't add it after the fact. FWIW, the 2018 F150 with this package is rated at 13,200#. Not too shabby!
And I will make corrections to both....to have the 13200lb tow rating it must be the 3.5 Eco crew cab 157" wheelbase with the 20 inch wheels and WITHOUT the HDPP Package AND 4X2....The maximum tow rating a F-150 has WITH the HDPP package is 11800lb requiring 17 inch wheels, max trailer tow, 4X2, and 157" wheelbase.
My 18 in sig is rated to tow 13000lbs being a 4X4 157" wheelbase with 20 inch wheels and max tow package...My truck has 1801bs of available payload with a 7050 GVWR.
