Guide Context

Payload, hitch load, and equipment notes

This Ford guide does not publish an engine-level max-payload summary for this engine and year. Actual payload, GVWR, rear GAWR, passengers, cargo, options, and trailer tongue or pin weight come from the truck certification label. The hitch-load column uses the 2020 guide's printed ratios: 10% for conventional towing, 15% for 5th-wheel towing, 15% for gooseneck towing. Chassis-cab, cutaway, medium-duty, and other commercial/upfit ratings are not included in this pickup guide.

Ratings and row-specific equipment conditions use Ford’s revised 2020 pickup tables. 2020 RV & Trailer Towing Guide. Earlier entries remain available in each row’s history and the complete source history, including entries the revised tables omit. Other document-policy rules retain their separately cited source.

Gooseneck load uses Ford’s revised 15% recommendation. 2020 RV & Trailer Towing Guide, pickup tables pp. 22–26. This estimate uses the listed trailer rating; passengers, cargo, options and hitch load must fit the truck’s actual payload and axle limits. Other document-policy rules retain their separately cited source.
