Key Factors Affecting Towing Capacity

Engine Specifications

The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine provides the power needed for towing, with torque being a critical factor. Higher output engines significantly increase capacity.

Axle Ratio

Higher axle ratios (like 3.73) provide more torque at the wheels, improving towing capability but slightly reducing fuel efficiency when not towing.

Towing Packages

Specialized packages add upgraded cooling systems, hitch receivers, and trailer brake controllers that increase safe towing limits.

Cooling Systems

Enhanced radiator and transmission coolers prevent overheating during heavy towing, especially important in hot climates or mountainous areas.

Global Towing Standards

Our calculator accounts for regional towing regulations and standards worldwide. Towing capacities can vary by country due to different:

Legal requirements
Measurement standards
Environmental regulations
Road and traffic conditions

United States Canada Mexico United Kingdom Germany Australia UAE South Africa Brazil Japan South Korea Saudi Arabia

Expert Towing Tips

Consider total weight: Remember to include passengers, cargo, and fuel when calculating your total weight. These reduce your available towing capacity.

Check your hitch: Ensure your hitch is rated for the weight you're towing. Class IV hitches are recommended for heavier loads.

Brake controller: For trailers over 1,500 lbs (680 kg), use an integrated brake controller for safer stopping.

Weight distribution: Use a weight distribution hitch for trailers over 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) to improve stability.

Regular maintenance: Before towing, check your tires, brakes, and cooling systems. Consider more frequent oil changes when regularly towing heavy loads.
