Ratings in lbs, as published by the manufacturer for the 2027 model year.
What lowers your F-350's real towing limit
- Dual rear wheels add the most capability: the 2027 F-350 DRW is rated up to 28,000 lbs conventional and 38,000 lbs gooseneck, versus 25,000 and 27,600 lbs for the single-rear-wheel F-350.
- The top SRW conventional ratings (24,000–25,000 lbs) are footnoted to 18" and 20" all-terrain tires; 18" all-season tires lower some ratings.
- Ford rates the F-350 SRW hitch receiver at 25,000 lbs and the DRW receiver at 28,000 lbs; the 3-inch receiver comes on the F-350 DRW Crew Cab with the 6.7L H.O. diesel and 4.10 axle.
- The 6.7L High Output Power Stroke diesel carries every top rating; the 7.3L gas V8 peaks at 22,000 lbs conventional and 22,500 lbs gooseneck (DRW, 4.30 axle).
The maximum rating assumes a specific, lightly loaded configuration. Three other limits apply on every tow, and the first one you hit is your real limit:
- Payload. Passengers, cargo, accessories and the trailer's tongue weight all count against payload. The payload figure on your door-jamb Tire and Loading Information placard is the one for your exact vehicle.
- Tongue weight. A conventional trailer typically puts 10–15% of its weight on the hitch, so a 5,000-lb trailer adds roughly 500–750 lbs to the truck or SUV. The hitch receiver has its own tongue-weight limit, printed on the receiver label.
- GCWR. The gross combined weight rating caps the loaded vehicle plus the loaded trailer. Every pound of passengers and cargo added to the vehicle comes off the trailer weight you can pull at GCWR.
Always stay within the lowest of these limits for your specific vehicle.

FAQ
What is the towing capacity of the Ford F-350?
The 2027 Ford F-350 is rated to tow up to 38,000 lbs when properly equipped (F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2, 6.7L H.O. Power Stroke, 4.10 axle, gooseneck). Source: 2027 Ford Super Duty Pickup Towing Guide. Lower-rated configurations tow less — the by-configuration table on this page lists each published rating.
Which Ford F-350 model year tows the most?
Among the model years on this page with a manufacturer-published rating (2016–2027), the highest maximum is 38,000 lbs, first published for the 2027 model year (F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2, 6.7L H.O. Power Stroke, 4.10 axle, gooseneck).
What is the 2027 Ford F-350's payload capacity?
Up to 7,900 lbs in its highest-rated configuration, per the manufacturer. Payload must cover passengers, cargo, and the trailer's tongue weight (typically 10–15% of trailer weight), so it often limits a tow before the trailer rating does.
How do I find my Ford F-350's exact towing capacity?
Check the certification label on the driver's door jamb for GVWR and the Tire and Loading Information placard for payload, then match your engine, drivetrain, cab/bed and axle ratio to the manufacturer's table. CarWhere's VIN lookup resolves engine, drivetrain and cab from the VIN; the window sticker lists the axle ratio and tow package.
