POWERTRAIN

Towing Capacity by Engine

Your engine determines your base towing limit and which max-tow packages are available. Start here to see the 2016 ratings for your specific truck setup.

Ford’s towing charts sometimes use technical engine labels. We show the familiar engine name first and Ford’s chart label alongside it so you can match both.

Highest Capacity

3.5L GTDI V6

Range: 6,600 - 12,200 lbs

Max conventional tow 12,200 LBS

5.0L 4-Valve V8

Range: 6,800 - 11,100 lbs

Max conventional tow 11,100 LBS

2.7L GTDI V6

Range: 7,300 - 8,500 lbs

Max conventional tow 8,500 LBS

3.5L 4-Valve V6

Range: 4,900 - 7,600 lbs

Max conventional tow 7,600 LBS

Guide policy

Guide rules included

Trailers over 5,000 lbs require Trailer Tow Package or Max Trailer Tow Package. Other guide pages are cited below but are not converted into universal requirements for this year.

Rows

Chart labels stay specific

Requirement labels in the table come from Ford chart cells, section notes, and footnotes for the matching row.

Navigation

Trim pages stay separate

The 2016 trim shortcuts are not published here. Use year, engine, cab, drivetrain, axle, GCWR, and wheelbase filters to narrow the chart.
