Best-in-Class Towing & Smart Hauling
The 2026 Ford F-150 continues to lead the segment with a maximum available towing capacity of 13,500 lbs and a maximum payload of 2,440 lbs. This incredible strength is supported by a high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body and a fully boxed steel frame. For 2026, Ford has further refined the available Tow/Haul Package, integrating the Max Tow Axle upgrade and upgraded cooling systems to ensure your truck stays composed even when pulling maximum weight up steep grades or through summer heat.
Powertrain Specs & Capability
Tailor your performance with a range of six powerful engines, all mated to a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. The 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 remains the towing champion, delivering 382 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking a blend of efficiency and utility, the 3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid offers a massive 570 lb-ft of torque and includes standard Pro Power Onboard. Traditionalists can opt for the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8, providing 400 hp and a robust 12,800-lb tow rating, while the Raptor R dominates off-road with a supercharged 5.2L V8 churning out 720 hp.
Advanced Trailering Technology
Towing is about more than just raw numbers; it’s about confidence. The 2026 F-150 features Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, allowing you to guide your trailer with a simple turn of a knob. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ uses the rear camera and radar to automatically align your hitch ball with the trailer coupler, making solo hookups effortless. With available Onboard Scales, you can even see real-time weight estimates of your payload on the 12-inch center touchscreen or through the smart taillamps, ensuring you never exceed your limits.
