2027 Ford Super Duty Towing Capacity & Payload: F-250, F-350 & F-450 Ratings by Configuration
Updated October 14, 2026 from Ford’s 2027 Super Duty towing guide (SAE J2807 selector charts), the 09/21/26 product guide, and the 3/23/26 payload selector charts.
The Short Version
Every maximum on the 2027 Super Duty belongs to the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke: F-250 tows up to 22,000 lbs conventional / 23,000 gooseneck (with the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade), F-350 SRW 25,000 / 27,600, F-350 DRW 28,000 / 38,000, and F-450 30,000 / 40,000. The 7.3L gas V8 — now standard on every trim — tows 18,200 lbs on F-250 and F-350 SRW and 22,000 on F-350 DRW, and it wins on payload: up to 7,900 lbs on an F-350 DRW and 4,175 lbs on a base F-250. Those headline numbers come from specific cab, axle, and tire combinations, so the tables below show the rating for your configuration — and if you’d rather not read charts, tell us what you tow and we’ll do it for you.
What Are You Towing?
Give us the trailer (or the camper, or the payload) and how you’ll use the truck. A Super Duty specialist replies with the configuration that carries it with margin, the exact Ford rating for that build, and a locked order price.

Hitch Ratings, Required Equipment & How to Read the Charts
Ford rates every Super Duty three ways: conventional (bumper receiver), fifth-wheel, and gooseneck (both in-bed, over the rear axle, which is why those numbers run higher). Every figure is an SAE J2807 maximum for a properly equipped truck with a 150-lb driver and passenger; options, people, and cargo come out of what’s left. Tongue weight should be 10% of the loaded trailer for conventional towing and 15% for fifth-wheel and gooseneck, and that weight counts against payload.
Required equipment for the big numbers: on F-250, conventional towing above 18,200 lbs requires the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade Package (535, $1,130) with 18” all-season or 20” all-terrain tires — Ford notes the warranty may be voided if you tow beyond that without it. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing requires the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package (53W, $750; standard on F-450). Trailer frontal area is limited to 75 sq ft for fifth-wheel/gooseneck and 60 sq ft for conventional.
A 2.5” receiver is standard; F-350 DRW Crew Cabs with the H.O. diesel and 4.10 axle, and all F-450 Crew Cabs with the diesel, get a 3” receiver.
Factory hitch receiver capacity (lbs)
| Model | Max trailer | Max tongue |
|---|---|---|
| F-250 | 22,000 | 2,200 |
| F-350 SRW | 25,000 | 2,500 |
| F-250 / F-350 Tremor | 18,200 | 1,820 |
| F-350 DRW | 28,000 | 2,800 |
| F-450 DRW | 30,000 | 3,000 |
Same for weight-carrying and weight-distributing hitches. Receiver capacity can exceed the truck’s rated maximum loaded trailer weight — the selector charts below govern.
2027 F-250 Towing Capacity & Payload
The F-250 is the volume Super Duty and the one with the biggest spread: 15,500 lbs on a base diesel crew cab, 22,000 lbs with the axle upgrade. The 7.3L gas with the 4.30 axle is the easy answer — 18,200 lbs on every cab.

Optional packages change GVWR and payload: the Greater Than 10K GVWR Package (68U) lifts a 7.3L SuperCab 8-ft 4x2 to 10,400 GVWR / 4,160 lbs; the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade (535, diesel) reaches 11,400 GVWR on 4x4 8-ft trucks (3,918 lbs SuperCab, 3,640 Crew); the Pickup Box Delete (XL) reaches 4,437 lbs on a Regular Cab 4x2; the 9,900-lb downgrade package cuts about 100 lbs. Tremor crew cabs: 3,353 (6¾) / 3,345 (8-ft) gas, 3,384 / 3,255 diesel.
Towing more than 18,200 lbs with an F-250? That’s the diesel-plus-535 build, and the cab you pick swings the rating by 3,800 lbs. Send us the trailer weight and we’ll send back the exact cell — and whether an F-350 does it for less.
2027 F-350 SRW Towing Capacity & Payload
Same cabs and boxes as the F-250, more axle and spring: the single-rear-wheel F-350 is the sweet spot for big fifth-wheels that still want a truck that parks like a pickup. Tires matter here — the 18” and 20” all-terrain tires unlock the top numbers.

Fifth-wheel shoppers: the difference between an F-350 SRW on base tires and one on all-terrains is up to 5,000 lbs of gooseneck rating. Tell us the pin weight and trailer and we’ll build the spec that clears it.

Gooseneck over 30,000 lbs? That decision is F-350 DRW 4.10 vs. F-450. On a Crew Cab XL 4x2 it’s $52,630 plus the $12,495 diesel against $69,575 with the diesel included — about $4,500 apart once both are diesels. We’ll run both against your trailer.
The Packages That Change Your Rating
Most of the gap between a base truck and the headline number is a package code. These are the ones that matter, with 2027 price-list pricing.
High-Capacity Axle Upgrade (535) — $1,130
Requires the 6.7L H.O. diesel. 11.6” rear axle, GVWR to 11,400 lbs, GCWR to 31,000 lbs — the only path to 22,000 conventional / 23,000 gooseneck on an F-250. Includes the Greater Than 10K GVWR Package. Not with Pickup Box Delete.
F-250 Greater Than 10K GVWR (68U) — $100
Raises F-250 GVWR from the fixed 10,000 lbs to 10,100–10,600 depending on cab (no charge with the diesel; standard on Lariat and up). Adds up to roughly 400 lbs of payload.
Fixed 10,000-lb GVWR (68B) & 9,900 downgrade
For buyers who need to stay at or under a registration threshold: 68B holds the F-250 at a fixed 10,000-lb GVWR (now its own order code on Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum), and the 9,900-lb package trims about 100 lbs of payload. Not with Tremor.
F-350 Gas Heavy-Duty Payload (68F) — $295
XL F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2, 7.3L with 4.30 limited-slip and TorqShift-G. Swaps in a 40/mini-console/40 seat and deletes the spare to reduce curb weight — that’s the 7,900-lb payload truck.
F-450 High-Capacity Gooseneck Tow (535) — No charge

Bed Sizes, Length & Dimensions
Pickup box dimensions
| Inches unless noted | 6¾-ft box | 8-ft box |
|---|---|---|

The 6¾-ft box comes on SuperCab (148” wheelbase) and Crew Cab (160”); the 8-ft box on Regular Cab (142”), SuperCab (164”), and Crew Cab (176”). Factory fifth-wheel hitch kits are released for the 8-ft box only — the short box leaves too little cab clearance for 90-degree turns with most fifth-wheels.

2027 Super Duty Towing & Payload FAQ
How much can a 2027 Ford F-250 tow?
Up to 22,000 lbs conventional / 23,000 gooseneck with the H.O. diesel and the 535 axle upgrade (31,000-lb GCWR). The 7.3L gas with the 4.30 axle tows 18,200 lbs on every cab, up to 19,500 gooseneck. A base-axle diesel is 15,500–16,600.
What is the 2027 F-350 towing capacity?
SRW: up to 25,000 conventional (Crew 4x4 8-ft diesel on 18” or 20” tires) and 27,600 gooseneck. DRW: 28,000 conventional, 35,000 fifth-wheel, 38,000 gooseneck with the 4.10 axle. Gas F-350s: 19,500 SRW, 22,000 DRW.
Which 2027 Super Duty tows the most?
F-450 Regular Cab 4x2 with the High-Capacity Gooseneck Tow Package: 40,000 lbs gooseneck at 48,000 GCWR. F-450 Crew Cabs tow 30,000 conventional and up to 34,700 gooseneck.
What is the maximum payload?
7,900 lbs: F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2, 7.3L gas, Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package. F-450 6,482; F-350 SRW 4,857; F-250 4,175 with a box or 4,437 with the box delete. Gas beats diesel on payload every time.
Gas or diesel — which tows more?
The diesel owns every maximum. The 7.3L gas gives up 3,800–6,000 lbs of towing but adds roughly 700 lbs of payload on a comparable F-250 and costs $12,495 less.
Does 4x4 reduce towing or payload?
Payload drops about 400 lbs with 4x4. Towing is close and sometimes higher on 4x4 — the F-250 diesel with 535 rates 20,000 on the Regular Cab 4x4 vs 18,200 on the 4x2.
Conventional vs. fifth-wheel vs. gooseneck?
Conventional uses the receiver (2.5”, or 3” on diesel DRW/F-450 crew cabs). Fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitch in the bed over the axle, so ratings run far higher. Plan 10% tongue weight conventional, 15% in-bed — out of your payload.
What equipment do I need for the max rating?
F-250: 535 plus 18” all-season or 20” all-terrain tires. F-350 SRW: 18” all-season or 18”/20” all-terrains. F-350 DRW: the 4.10 axle. F-450: the 535 gooseneck package on an XL Regular Cab 4x2. In-bed towing needs 53W (standard F-450).
