2017 Ford F250 Super Duty Regular CAB towing capacity

The 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty Regular CAB is published in 2 configurations with a tow rating of 21,000 lb (serious heavy-duty pickup territory).

The table below lists every trim of the 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty Regular CAB 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.

Per-trim breakdown

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.

How this year compares to 2016

The 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty Regular CAB carried a maximum tow rating of 14,000 lb. The 2017 model adds 7,000 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification.
