5 Impressive Features of the 2023 Ford F-150
1. Class-Leading Payload and Towing Capability
Two of the most important functions of a pickup truck are towing and hauling, which is why the high capacities for both towing and payload make the F-150 a standout. The amount of weight that this vehicle can tow or haul does vary based on the engine and configuration of the truck, but the towing capacity tops out at 14,000 pounds when equipped with the 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine, which is available on the XLT trim and above.
For maximum payload capacity, choose the 5.0L V8 engine, which allows for up to 3,325 pounds of cargo.
