You can get the highest tow ratings with max payload package.
All of the F150 engines have received significant bumps in tow ratings.
The 2.7 is now up to 10,000lbs, the diesel is up to 12,100lbs and the 5.0 is up to 13,000lbs.
Maximum GCRW is 19,500lbs. If I recall correctly the maximum GCWR for a 1991 F350 was 18,500lbs. Things have really changed.
A 5,000 lb. F150 pulling 13k? Seriously?!
I do it every day. It's a better ratio than pulling 30,000lbs with an F450 and that seems to widely accepted.
