Factors Affecting Towing Capacity
🔧 Engine & Drivetrain
The 2.3L EcoBoost engine provides strong torque for towing, while the available 3.0L V6 diesel (in international markets) offers even higher capacity. 4x4 models typically have slightly lower capacities than 4x2 models due to additional weight.
⚙️ Axle Ratio
The axle ratio significantly impacts towing capacity. The standard 3.55 ratio provides good fuel efficiency, while the optional 3.73 and 4.10 ratios dramatically increase towing capability. The Max Trailer Tow Package includes the 4.10 ratio.
🏗️ Cab Configuration
SuperCab models (with smaller rear doors) typically have slightly higher towing capacities than SuperCrew models due to reduced weight. However, the difference is minimal with proper weight distribution.
📦 Payload & Cargo
Your towing capacity decreases with additional cargo and passengers. Always subtract your payload (passengers, cargo, accessories) from the maximum capacity to determine your actual available towing capacity.
Important Considerations
This calculator provides estimates based on Ford's specifications and SAE J2807 towing standards. Actual capacities vary by market - North America typically has higher ratings than Europe or Australia due to different testing standards. Always consult your owner's manual and verify your specific vehicle's payload capacity (found on the door jamb sticker) before towing. Exceeding your vehicle's capacity can be dangerous and void warranties.
