What it means loaded
A trailer at the full 13,500 lb puts roughly 1,620 lb on the hitch at a typical 12% tongue weight. Against the 2024 Ford F-150's best-case payload of 2,445 lb, that leaves about 825 lb for passengers, fuel, gear and the weight-distributing hitch — which is why this engine will run out of payload before it runs out of towing capacity.

Common questions
How much can a 2024 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 tow?
Up to 13,500 lb, configured as SuperCrew 4x2, 3.55 axle, Max Trailer Tow Package. The engine makes 400 hp and 500 lb-ft, with a GCWR of 19,000 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 2024 Ford F-150, yes — at 13,500 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 13,500 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.
