2012 Ford F-350 SC DRW 4WD towing capacity
The 2012 Ford F-350 SC DRW 4WD is published in 6 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 12,000 to 21,700 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (21,700 lb) sits in serious heavy-duty pickup territory.
The table below lists every trim of the 2012 Ford F-350 SC DRW 4WD with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow figures this high require a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch installed in the bed of the truck, and a corresponding trailer setup. Conventional bumper-pull towing on the same vehicle is typically capped well below this number — usually under 15,000 lb. Always check the door-jamb sticker and owner's manual for the maximum permitted on each hitch class before hooking up.
