Common questions
How much can a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 tow?
Up to 13,200 lb, configured as SuperCrew 4x2, 3.55 axle, Max Trailer Tow Package. The engine makes 375 hp and 470 lb-ft, with a GCWR of 18,300 lb. Your own truck's rating depends on its cab, bed, drivetrain and axle ratio, and is printed on the certification label in the driver's door jamb.
Is the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 the best Ford F-150 engine for towing?
For the 2019 Ford F-150, yes — at 13,200 lb it carries the highest rating of any engine offered that year. The next closest is the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8. Configuration still matters more than most buyers expect: the wrong axle ratio or a heavier cab gives back more capacity than the gap between two engines.
Does the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 need the tow package to reach 13,200 lb?
Yes. That rating assumes SuperCrew 4x2, 3.55 axle, Max Trailer Tow Package. Without the factory tow package — the upgraded receiver, wiring, cooling and in most cases a specific axle ratio — the same engine is rated substantially lower.
