Common questions
How much can a 2025 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 (Raptor) tow?
Up to 8,200 lb, configured as Raptor SuperCrew 4x4. The engine makes 450 hp and 510 lb-ft, with a GCWR of 15,000 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.
How much less does the 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 (Raptor) tow than the top 2025 Ford F-150 engine?
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is rated at 13,500 lb, which is 5,300 lb more than the 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 (Raptor)'s 8,200 lb. Whether that gap matters depends on payload — tongue weight, not towing capacity, is what most half-ton owners actually run out of first.
Does the 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 (Raptor) need the tow package to reach 8,200 lb?
Yes. That rating assumes Raptor SuperCrew 4x4. 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.

Check your door jamb. The figures here are the maximum ratings for a properly equipped truck in its best towing configuration. Your specific truck's cab, bed, drivetrain, axle ratio and options all lower it. The certification label inside the driver's door and the owner's manual are the authority for your vehicle.
