2023 Ford F-150 Towing Capacity

Conventional towing, from Ford's official 2023 RV & Trailer Towing Guide.

Quick answer

Best case: 14,000 lbs — 3.5L EcoBoost V6 · SuperCab 4x2 · 8 ft · 3.55 axle.

That is the brochure number, for an empty truck with the right packages. Real-world, payload usually runs out first. Run your exact truck and load in the checker →

Full 2023 configuration table

Every conventional-towing row Ford publishes for the 2023 F-150. Rows that share a configuration at different GCWRs are equipment variants — see the notes (Max Trailer Tow Package, Heavy-Duty Payload Package, and similar requirements). Payload is Ford's maximum for the engine, not for one specific cab/bed — your doorjamb sticker has your truck's real figure.
