Have a conversation with one of our teammates to learn more about that engine as well as some specific details about towing and payload capacities. After all, exactly how much your truck is able to tow will depend on the model you go with and its engine, transmission, axle ratio, cab size, wheelbase, etc.

Hauling with the 2020 Ford F-150

However, the 2020 Ford F-150 is much more than just a brawny towing beast. It’s also a bit nerdy, coming with all the high-tech features and systems that you’ll need to make every haul safe, simple, and efficient. Let’s take a slightly closer look at a day behind the wheel of this state-of-the-art towing machine.

It all starts with deciding exactly what you want to tow. Given some of the higher numbers listed above, you shouldn’t face many limitations. RVs, camping trailers, ski boats, horse trailers, construction equipment, race car trailers, and more could all be in your wheelhouse. Once you’ve picked, it’s time to hitch up. With the Ford available Technology Package’s Dynamic Hitch Assist, that should be a breeze.

Backing out of your driveway should also be a breeze—thanks to the available Pro Trailer Backup AssistÔ, that is. Finally, once you’re actually on the road, flip on its standard Tow/Haul Mode to minimize gear hunting and maximize power delivery. All the while, you can rely upon standard Trailer Sway Control and the BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) to keep you, your passengers, and your cargo as safe as possible. And that’s just the beginning—drop us a line to learn about the available Trailer Brake Controller!
