Ford 2021 towing guide

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.

Both the F53 and E-Series Class C chassis still show only the 6 speed transmission.

Boy love how the the only talk about Payload and GVWR on the page about slide in Campers. The tout the BIG max tow ratings without reference to GVWR or payload!
No wonder we see so many 20K+ 5er TH hooked to F250โ€™s.
Ford should be taken to task for misleading advertising, likely Ram and GM also.

I had a 2004 ford SUV, with 3 rows of leather and an CGRW of 20,000 lb, 19,500 doesn't sound like much for a pickup.

Interesting.
TBC now is included with both the 52A & 53C.
Reference is made of the 5.0 with Max Tow.
17T a new tow option. Chart says includes Smart tow connector BUT no wiring harness?
5.0 chart jumps from 3.31 to 3.73, no 3.55 listed?

So now the F150 is max tow rated exactly the same as the best equipped F250 gasser (with 4.30s and no wd).
This is going to blow the minds of the uninformed and melt the internet weight police's keyboards at the same time!

Yep, waiting on my 2021 F250 7.3 to arrive " DEC "......very impressive numbers from a gas engine.
Ford likes staying a step ahead.
