Tow Ratings Towing capacity for every US vehicle, 1991 to today

2018 Ford F 350 towing capacity

The 2018 Ford F 350 is published in 57 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 12,000 to 13,000 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (13,000 lb) sits in half-ton plus / heavy-duty truck territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2018 Ford F 350 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

Ratings in this range are typically achievable with a weight-distributing hitch and the appropriate tow package. The conventional bumper-pull rating without weight distribution will be lower than the headline figure shown here — usually 5,000 to 8,000 lb. Confirm the hitch class on your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing at the upper end.

How this year compares to 2017

The 2017 Ford F 350 carried a maximum tow rating of 13,200 lb. The 2018 model is rated 200 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 2017 Ford F 350 page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
