2021 Ford F-250 Towing Capacity

The Towing Capacity of the Ford F-250

The 2021 F-250 has some impressive towing capabilities. At its best, it has a conventional towing capacity of 20,000 pounds when properly equipped. That is thanks to not only its rigid and strong frame, but also to all the power its engine options possess.

You can also configure your Ford F-250 to tow even more weight. When properly equipped with the 5^th-wheel/gooseneck option, you will be able to tow a maximum of 22,800 pounds. That means you will be able to pull along a variety of equipment with this truck, from taking your boat out to the lake and RV on a camping trip, to your work equipment or horse trailer wherever you are headed.

Safely Tow All Your Equipment

There are also many systems and features the Ford F-250 has that are designed to help give you even more confidence and peace of mind while towing. These include:

• Pro Trailer Backup Assist™: Backing up a trailer can be tricky, but with this available tech, all you need to do is rotate the knob in the cabin of your F-250 in the direction you want the trailer to go. From there, the system will make sure it turns the direction you want it to while backing up.
• Rear View Camera: On the center screen, this standard camera system will give you a live view of your path when in reverse. That way, you can line up your truck right to your trailer for quick and easy hitching!
• Trailer Coverage: As part of the available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System), Trailer Coverage lets the F-250 account for the length of your trailer when scanning your blind spots. Because of that, you'll be able to know when it's clear to change lanes even when pulling along extra equipment.

The 2021 Ford F-250 is also equipped with Trailer Sway Control. This is able to provide selective braking to certain wheels and reduce engine power when needed, so both your truck and whatever you are towing remains stable as you drive.

More Cargo Capabilities

Beyond what you can tow behind the Ford F-250, this truck also comes with plenty of other ways to carry all your supplies, tools, and gear. That includes all the space both its bed and cabin provide.

The 2021 F-250 also has many available exterior features that help when loading and unloading cargo, as well as while working out of the bed of your truck. These include:

• BoxLink™
• Tailgate step
• Power lock tailgate
• LED box lighting

You can also add an available box cover to your Ford F-250 to keep items out of sight and protected from the elements.
