The F-150s from this era come with a ton of engine specifications to choose from. However, the 3.5L V6 has the lowest tow rating of all. The average towing capacities between this period were within 5000-13200lbs. That was a good upgrade from the trucks from the previous year. Of course, you had to install additional tow features to achieve maximum tow capacities.

Low ratings came from Limited and Raptor models during this period.

Ford F-150s from this era had an almost similar shape. That is because they had identical engines, which explains why they had nearly the same towing capacity. There was, however, a slight variation in capacities, by about 100-300lbs. 

Towing capacities ranged between 5000-12000lbs for A/T trucks. Few upgrades had to be made to push the towing limit to the optimum level.

There were three engine specifications on the F-150s during this time. Those were the 4.6L 2-valve engine, 4.6L 3-valve engine, and the 5.4L 3-valve engine. Conventional and fifth-wheel towing ratings were the same during this period. However, only automatic transmissions were specified during this time, and they averaged around 5100 and 11300 lbs. You needed to add some extra towing packages to achieve the high-end towing capabilities.

The F-150 models from 2005 to 2008 had pretty decent towing capacities. If you had the 5.4L engine, then you had a top-of-the-class status. We also had three engine specifications, 5.4L, 4.6L, and 4.2L. 

Automatic transmission trucks between this period had a towing capacity ranging from 5100lbs to 11000 lbs. Manual transmission variants came in at 2300-3700 lbs. The highest towing capacity came with the 5.4L engine, at 11000lbs maximum towing capacity.

We had different engine configurations, with 4.2L, 4.6L, and 5.4L displacements. The transmission mode was a crucial determinant in the towing capacity, as A/T trucks overperformed M/T trucks. Trucks on automatic transmission gave around 4400-8800 pounds of towing capacity. Moreover, the engine models with an axle ratio of 3.08 topped at 2000 pounds of towing capacity. 

M/T trucks gave a lower towing capacity, as they ranged from 2000-3500 pounds. 

1999-2000 Ford F-150 models

Automatic Transmission Ford F-150 trucks in the bracket between these two years ranged between 4000lbs and 8800 pounds. The Manual Transmission counterparts gave a range of 1900 and 3600 pounds. 

1997-1998 Ford F-150 models

Again, like the previous year, trucks within this era mostly saw their towing differences coming from the engine sizes. However, the M/T 4.2L V6 was ahead of the 4.6L V8 in towing capacity, with a capacity of 3600 pounds. For the A/T engine, the V8 engine variants were better than the V6 models, offering a maximum of 8000 pounds

Overall, the Automatic transmission trucks were a mile ahead of their Manual transmission counterparts in towing capacity.

The 1996 Ford F-150 model came with three engine specifications, 5.8L, 5.0L, and 4.9L. We also had M/T and A/T variants, which played a part in determining the ’96 F-150 truck’s towing capacity. 

Engine size played a significant role in the towing capacity, with the 4.9L I6 having the lowest towing capacity for both manual and automatic transmissions (3600 and 5700), respectively. The V8 was the better choice of the two engine types, having a maximum of 3600 and 7700 pounds towing capacity in each.

These were the first generation Ford F-150s. However, you can’t despise their age as they host vast capabilities, especially around the towing subject. 

The ’94 and ’95 F-150s came with three engine types and two drive trains. We have the 4.9L V6, the 5.0L V8, and the 5.8L V8 engine models across the two years.

In 1994, the V8 engine model had a max tow capacity of 7600lbs, while the V6 came in at 5300lbs. 

Once again, the 1995 V8 had a greater tow capacity than the V6. The V8 was at 7000 pounds, and the V6 came in at 5600 pounds. 

You can see that there’s a considerable difference in towing capacity brought about by the engine type on the particular car. V8 engines are producing much more power than the V6s, leading to a higher pull capacity. The drivetrain also brings out slight differences in towing. 4×2 trucks tend to have been a little superior to the 4×4 variants in both years. The difference in numbers is not much, and we can’t necessarily conclude that the drivetrain affected the towing capacities of the trucks.

What Affects the Ford Towing Capacity?

Let’s look into how these factors affect the towing capacity of the Ford F-150.

Engine

The Ford F-150 truck has six engine variations to choose from, with a seventh on the way. However, the seventh will be more of a motor than an engine, as Ford has teased their electric F-150 EV prototype and the massive capabilities it comes with. However, the available engines have earned a reputation over the years from their composure and strength. They are;

  • 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 290hp engine, 265 lb-ft
  • 2.7L EcoBoost V6 325 hp engine, 400 lb-ft
  • 3.5L EcoBoost V6 375 hp engine, 470 lb-ft
  • High Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 450hp engine, 510 lb-ft
  • 3.0L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V6 250hp engine, 440 lb-ft
  • 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 395hp engine, 400 lb-ft

Each engine offers a couple of distinct features and services regarding output, efficiency, power, and towing capacity. 

Most Ford F-150s engines are V6, with only one V8, as you can see on the list. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6(5) and the 3.3Ti-VCT V6 offer a maximum towing capacity of 8200lbs, the least among all six engines. The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 gives 10100 lbs, while the 3.0L Turbo-Diesel V6 gives a 12100-pound towing capacity. The 3.5LPowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 has a 12700-pound towing capacity, with the 5.0L V8 and 3.5L EcoBoost V6 offering 13000 and 14000 pounds, respectively.

In summary, the maximum towing capacity of the Ford 150 F-150 trucks according to engine type is 14000 pounds, and the least is 8200 pounds. It all depends on the torque capacity of the engine. 

How to know my vehicle’s engine

It’s easy to know about your engine. Here’s how to do it.

ford vin structure
In general, the VIN holds a handful of information on automobiles, not only about the engine.

On the driver’s side of your car, get to the lower corner of the windshield. You’ll find the label there; get to the VIN. Information on your engine can be sourced from the same number too. Within the number-and-letters series you see there, locate the tenth from the left. That value indicates the model year. The Eighth is the engine code. 

Type of Transmission

The type of transmission hugely affects towing capacity. The Ford F-150 series has two transmission types, the Manual and Automatic, just like all other vehicles. You’ll notice that the Automatic variants have a higher towing capacity than their manual counterparts. Why? In a manual transmission, too much pressure is put on the clutch, and colossal load sizes may damage it. As a result, Manual Transmission trucks come with a relatively lower towing capacity. 

On the other hand, automatic transmissions let you focus on your load as you won’t need to change gears frequently.

For instance, say the 1996 Ford F-150 model, the M/T (Manual Transmission) 4.6L V6 and 5.0L V8 had an average of 1700-3600 pounds. In the same year, Ford F-150 models, the A/T (Automatic Transmission) 4.6L V6, 5.0L V8, and 5.8L V8 averaged 4600-7700 pounds of towing capacity. You can see the enormous difference there.

Axle Ratio

Axle ratios are essential in towing. When choosing a Ford F-150 truck for towing, keep in mind that a 3.73 axle ratio is more efficient in towing than a 3.31 or 3.55. A higher Axle Ratio translates to more engine power and a higher towing capacity

Axle ratio is a term used to refer to the gears in a truck’s differential that connect to the rear axle, driveshaft, and engine. The ratio shows a truck’s fuel economy and towing capacity and the relationship between the two. 

How to know the vehicle’s axle ratio

You can find out your car’s axle ratio in two ways. 

Method 1: Look out for a sticker located somewhere close to your car’s differential. The sticker holds a handful of information about axle ratio.

If you only need to find out your axle ratio, then you need to look below the tag’s barcode, under the ‘AXLE’ section. You can find three types of codes that need to be interpreted as follows;

Different codes stand for different axle ratio

Method 2: You need to count the teeth on the ring gear and pinion. Divide the number you get by the number of teeth on the gear with those on the pinion. That gives you the axle ratio.

For example, the number of teeth of driven gear is 31, and the number of pinions is 10. Your axle ratio is 3.10.

Final Verdict

It has been quite a journey in the evolution of the Ford F-150. Nonetheless, we are seeing consistency in the features right from the models from the past century. However, the newer models tend to outdo the past models, owing to their more technologically advanced designs. As a result, they have the highest overall tow capacity and can be enhanced further by adding towing tweaks here and there. If I were asked to pick the best F-150 model for towing, I’d go for anything in the latest generation without a second thought. 

Anyways, it all comes down to personal preferences—happy towing.
