The 2020 Ford F-150 is known for its dependability and, with the right configuration, can tow up to 13,200 lbs. The Ford F-150 is part of the Ford F-Series lineup; and one of Canada's top-selling trucks for more than 50 years.
Ford continues this tradition with the innovation and implementation of breakthrough towing technology.
Let's take a closer look at how different options may factor into towing capacity.
Engine Type
Max towing capacity is partly determined by what engine is powering your 2020 F-150. There are five engine options for the current F-150, and each model provides a different max towing capacity.

Axle Ratio and Vehicle Weight
In addition to engine type, the axle ratio, vehicle curb weight, option weight, payload weight, loaded trailer weight, and even the passenger weights need to be taken into consideration.
The GCWR (gross combined weight ratio) is the maximum allowable weight limit of all the factors above, determined by the manufacturer. The chart below details information on conventional towing only; for further information about 5'th wheel towing, consult the Ford trailer tow guide.
(additional factors such as cab size, wheelbase, and drivetrain also factor in but are not listed in the chart. Please consult Ford's trailer tow guide for further information)
