2024 Ford F-150 towing and engine power. There is no single truck rating.

The short answer

Which 2024 F-150 engine has the highest manufacturer-listed towing capability?

Ford's revised June 2024 US towing guide lists up to 13,500 lb available maximum towing for the 3.5L EcoBoost, versus 12,900 lb for the 5.0L V8, 11,200 lb for PowerBoost hybrid and 8,400 lb for the 2.7L EcoBoost. These are upper limits for available configurations, not guaranteed capacities for every truck.

Applicable to: Manufacturer's revised June 2024 US-market F-150 RV & Trailer Towing Guide. Actual towing depends on configuration, axle ratio, trailer equipment and vehicle-specific ratings; Raptor and Raptor R are not included.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Use the actual truck's door-jamb labels, equipment, axle ratio and Ford towing guide to establish a usable trailer rating; an available maximum is not your individual truck's rating.

Check 2

PowerBoost's greater advertised engine torque does not imply a greater maximum trailer rating. Payload and towing ratings are separate constraints.

Check 3

The manufacturer publication covers 2024 US F-150 configurations, not the F-150 Lightning, Raptor or Raptor R. Do not borrow this table for other years.
