Ford F-150 Engines

The F-150 brings diversified engine power to your door with six different engines to make work seem like play. Three engines received best-in-class accolades for specific features.

Ramp up your engine power with the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine. Partner it with the available 10-speed transmission that comes with SelectShift® that gives you optimal power, torque, and efficiency. You can get the available best-in-class payload with the XL Regular trim, which holds 3,270 pounds. With this engine, the energy pulses with 395 horsepower backed with the force of 400 lb-ft of torque.

Ford F-150 Towing Capacity 

You heard that at its maximum the F-150 can carry a payload of over 3,000 pounds, but what about the individual towing capacities? Let's list them in order from the lowest amount to the highest. When you choose the SuperCrew®, the longest cab available, you can achieve the maximum towing with each engine.

First, the 3.3L Ti-VCT tows a max of 7,400 pounds in the 4x4. Next, you can tow up to 9,000 pounds in the 2.7L EcoBoost® 4x2. In the 4x4, the 5.0L Ti-VCT tows 11,500 pounds. With the 3.0L Power Stroke®, you can tow up to 11,400 pounds in a 4x2 drivetrain. This follows with the 3.5L EcoBoost®, outfitted with the 4x2, that can tow a maximum of 13,200 pounds.  

As for payloads, we mentioned the max, but what are the other top two? Match up the 2.7L EcoBoost® engine with the Regular Cab 4x2, and you get a payload of 2,470 pounds. Pack a payload of 3,230 pounds if you select the 3.5L EcoBoost® engine with Regular Cab 4x2.
