Ford Maverick

Few — if any — compact trucks are as capable as the Ford Maverick. There are three trims to choose from, and two available powertrains: the standard 2.0-liter EcoBoost and the available 2.5-liter hybrid engine. Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 lbs, a number readily achievable when you add the available 4K Towing package, which includes upgraded powertrain cooling and a trailer hitch receiver with a seven-pin trailer wiring harness connector.

Ford Ranger

Move up to the midsize Ford Ranger and towing capability rises to 7,500 lbs. This robust number is made possible by a high-strength steel frame and a solid rear axle, combined with this truck’s available Trailer Tow package. The Ford Ranger also showcases the Ford brand’s remarkable towing technology, which includes the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system: an innovation that lets the driver easily reverse the truck with a trailer courtesy of a knob mounted to the center console.

Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 is the first of two available Ford full-size trucks. This legendary performer boasts a best-in-class max towing capacity of 13,500 lbs, courtesy of a powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine and upgrades such as the Tow/Haul package and the Max Tow Axle. Not surprisingly, this same power plant posts a class-topping 2,445 lbs of available payload in a bed comprised of high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy.

Ford Super Duty®

The “Mother of all Ford trucks” is the Ford Super Duty — its max towing capacity is an unbelievable 40,000lbs, a best-in-class number that’s facilitated by an incredible 6.7-liter High Output Power Stroke® V8 turbodiesel engine. This engine also boasts a class-leading 1,200 lb-ft of torque. Cutting-edge towing tech for this truck include Smart Hitch, which measures tongue weight for added confidence while towing.
