What is the F-150 Max Trailer Tow Package?

From 2024 on, Ford no longer offers a separate Max Trailer Tow Package. The Tow/Haul Package (53T) bundles an integrated trailer brake controller with an electronic-locking rear axle (3.55 with the 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.73 with the 5.0L V8), and the maximum ratings also need the optional 3.55 (XL5) or 3.73 (XL7) Max Tow electronic-locking axle; 53T is not offered with the 2.7L. On 2021–2023 trucks, Ford’s Max Trailer Tow Package (53C) included the 7-wire harness with 4/7-pin connector, a reinforced 2-inch receiver rated at 14,000 lb, the Smart Trailer Tow Connector, an upgraded rear axle and an upgraded rear bumper.

Ratings depend on engine, cab, bed, axle ratio, drivetrain and packages; the exact figure for one truck is in Ford’s official RV & Trailer Towing Guide, and CarWhere’s 2021 F-150 towing capacity by configuration lists every row of the 2021 guide.
