Compare 2025 Ford F-150 towing capacity, payload capacity, GVWR, GCWR, tongue weight planning, and configuration caveats. This page includes official-source engine, axle, cab, bed, drivetrain, hitch, and equipment breakdowns. Always verify your exact truck’s driver-door sticker, owner’s manual, manufacturer towing guide, hitch label, axle ratings, tire ratings, and trailer data plate.
Official-source quick answer
Ford lists 13,500 lb max towing for properly equipped 2025 F-150 3.5L EcoBoost configurations with Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle upgrade. The highest conventional towing row extracted here is 13,500 lb. That is not a universal rating; it depends on the exact engine, axle ratio, cab, bed, drivetrain, tow equipment, payload, and hitch setup.
Ford states max payload varies by accessories and vehicle configuration; use the tire and loading label on the doorjamb for the exact truck.
Nothing that affects what you can tow. Every engine carries the same maximum tow rating it had in 2024, the ceiling stays at 13,500 lb, and the highest listed GCWR is unchanged at 19,400 lb. Hitch receiver limits and the equipment required to reach the maximum row are also identical. The 2025 guide publishes 14 conventional towing rows where 2024 published 21 — fewer published combinations, not lower capability.

Compared from the 2024 and 2025 manufacturer towing guides transcribed on this site. Payload figures are the published maximum for the engine, not for your truck — the tire and loading label in your door jamb is the only figure that describes the vehicle you own.
