Ford F-150 Lightning Towing Capacity

Towing Capacity of the Ford F-150 Lightning

With the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, you will be able to tow up to 10,000 pounds worth of equipment when properly equipped. This towing capacity is achievable when you choose the available extended-range battery, get the available Max Trailer Towing Package, and use 20" all-terrain tires.

Even with the standard battery and no other bells and whistles, the F-150 Lightning is able to tow up to 5,000 pounds. With that sort of strength, the 2022 F-150 Lightning is able to pull along your camper for your next family vacation, your boat to the lake for a day of fishing, or construction equipment you are renting for your next home improvement project.  

Towing Technology

The Ford F-150 Lightning also offers an available Tow Technology Package, which features various systems that can help make towing safer and easier for you. With this package, you will get:

• Pro Trailer Backup Assist: With the simple turn of a knob, you can help ensure your trailer turns the right way when backing up.
• Trailer Brake Controller: By automatically applying the trailer brakes when you push down on the brakes, this system helps bring everything to a smooth and quick stop.
• Smart Hitch: This feature helps you make sure weight is properly distributed on your trailer before you start driving.
• Smart Trailer Tow Connector: This system will let you know if something on your trailer needs you attention, including when the lights are out.

More Hauling Capabilities

On top of what the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning can tow, it has room in its bed to fit various supplies. You can load in the cooler, sporting equipment, and more into the bed of this truck thanks to its maximum payload capacity of 2,000 pounds.

Since it doesn't have a gas-powered engine under the hood, there is now space for added cargo you need to stow away. In its front truck, there is 14.1 cubic feet of cargo volume, which you can use to pack the lifejackets for your next fishing trip.
