FIG. 2022 SAFETY Required Equipment

Equipment rules that apply to the 2022 3.5L EcoBoost V6

F-150 non-Lightning pickup Trailers over 5,000 lbs require Trailer Tow Package (17T, 53A, 53B) or Max Trailer Tow Package (53C). The Class IV hitch (53B) alone is limited to the 6,000- or 7,000-lb maximum printed for each engine; see each row's requirements.

Under its 5th-wheel/gooseneck tables the 2022 guide prints "Trailer king pin load weight should be 15% of total loaded trailer weight." That applies whether or not a package is listed on the row.

FIG. 2022 EQUIP Printed Guidance

What the guide prints as required or recommended

Recommended: A weight-carrying hitch is recommended for all vehicles towing trailers less than 5,000 pounds. Ford guide, p. 18
Required: Weight-distributing hitch: required for certain Class III and all Class IV applications. Ford guide, p. 44
Required: A conventional, identical full-size spare tire is required for trailer towing (mini, compact and dissimilar full-size spare tires should not be used; always replace the spare tire with a new road tire as soon as possible). Ford guide, p. 50
