Ford Reveals 2015 F-150 Max Towing & Hauling Rates

BRIGHTON, Mich - Back in January, Ford Motor Company made big promises about the 2015 F-150's capabilities, saying it would set new standards and completely change the light-duty pickup segment. Many of these statements more than likely received a sarcastic comment or a "yeah, okay, sure" eye roll in return, but it is now quite evident that Ford was not messing around.

Ford has revealed the 2015 F-150's max towing and hauling rates, providing customers with the numbers they needed to show that this aluminum-based vehicle is NO joke! The 2015 F-150 will be able to tow up to 12,200 pounds and haul up to 3,300 pounds in the bed; topping both the Chevy Silverado's 12,000 pound max trailer weight and the Ram 1500's 10,650 pound top tow rating by a long shot! 

How did the 2015 F-150 obtain these impressive max towing and hauling rates? Well aside from utilizing high-strength, military grade aluminum, Ford simply by followed SAE-recommended practices. SAE recommends that manufacturers keep the entire vehicle intact when determining their ratings, so Ford did not break down their numbers by body style or configuration.
