Reliable And Capable Towing
If you're a truck owner, at some point during that ownership, you could find yourself having to tow something. Maybe you have a boat that you pull to the lake every weekend, or do you pull a trailer for work? Whatever the case, the 2023 F-150 has you covered with a tow rating of 14,000 pounds. It has reliable strength and capability, making it a good choice for on a farm, at the boat dock, or about a million places in-between.
Ford also takes care of owners with towing features to make their lives easier. For instance, dynamic hitch assist is available. It makes it a breeze to line up and connect a trailer. Often, it ensures drivers don't need spotters or have to get out of their vehicles multiple times while backing up.
What About The Max Payload?
People use their trucks to carry all sorts of things. Sometimes, the loads are extremely lightweight, but on other occasions, that is far from the case. Regardless of what you're trying to transport, a 2023 F-150 can help you get the job done thanks to a best in class towing capacity of 3,310 pounds, but that's not all.
There's also an available onboard scales feature. It's ideal for anyone that will be carrying loads close to the maximum payload capacity. From the comfort of the front seat and with the help of the Ford SYNC® system or an LED visual display, you'll be able to see the load status. Keeping track of this figure will ensure you never overload your vehicle and cause its performance to dip.
