If you own a Ford truck or SUV, at some point you may want to know your Ford truck’s towing capacity.

We’ve provided some baseline stats below, but if you want to know even more about your specific Ford vehicle, you can do a lookup by its VIN (vehicle identification number). More about that later.

Towing Capacity of Your Ford Truck

There are several towing capacity terms you might want to familiarize yourself with before setting out on your next towing adventure. A few of these terms are listed below, so keep reading.

• Tongue Weight: Tongue weight is a measurement of the downward force the tongue of the trailer exerts on the hitch that’s connected to a vehicle. One important factor to remember is that tongue weight can affect a vehicle’s capability to drive safely. Having a tongue weight that’s too high or too low should be avoided. One recommendation is to try to keep the tongue weight around 9% to 15% of your trailer’s gross weight.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): The Gross Axle Weight Rating simply refers to the maximum distributed weight rating that may be supported by an axle. Ford truck axles have precise GAWR specifications.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM): This the maximum weight of a loaded vehicle (vehicle + passengers + cargo) without factoring in a trailer. The GVWR is specifically provided by Ford for their trucks.
• Gross Trailer Weight (GTW): Gross Trailer Weight is the actual weight of your fully loaded trailer (trailer + cargo), which includes the weight of the trailer itself plus everything loaded onto it or into it. Using a truck/car scale is the easiest way to determine weight.
• Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR): GCWR is a combination of the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) + Gross Trailer Weight (GTW).
