Trim Notes
Max 13,200 lb rating requires the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with the Max Trailer Tow Package and 3.55 electronic-locking rear axle on a properly configured SuperCrew/SuperCab 4x2. Max payload of ~3,270 lb is achieved separately with the 5.0L V8 Heavy-Duty Payload Package, not simultaneously.
⚠ Important
Maximum ratings vary by cab, bed, drivetrain, and equipment. The peak tow and peak payload figures are not achievable on the same truck. Always verify against the specific VIN's door-jamb label and Ford's official towing guide.
◆ Gear you may need

Prose overview

As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2020 Ford F-150s on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
