Here's the inside scoop on the 2024 Ford F-150's towing capacity and engine options to help you choose the right trim for you.
Towing Capacity
If you're looking for a pickup truck with great towing power, the 2024 F-150 will have you covered. It offers a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, which is more than enough strength to haul your recreational vehicle, trailer, boat, or other equipment. The F-150 achieves its maximum towing capacity when equipped with the SuperCrew box and the 3.5-liter V-6 engine. If you decide on the hybrid version of the F-150, the maximum towing capacity drops slightly to 12,700 pounds.
In addition to an outstanding towing capacity, you'll get innovative towing tech with Ford's BlueCruise. This includes features that help you hitch your car up to your trailer easily and securely. It also gives guidance for backing up and driving with something in tow, ensuring you and your belongings are always safe. Many trims, such as the Raptor, come with Trail Control technology that helps you maintain control while towing.
There are a few different factors that can impact the towing capacity of your F-150. For example, if you choose a smaller cab or bed configuration, the towing capacity can drop, as the truck will have slightly less strength due to its smaller size. The engine your vehicle has can also affect the towing capacity, as engines with stronger powertrains typically have the strength to tow heavier loads. If you're curious about the exact towing capacity for a specific trim level, you can contact our dealership and ask one of our team members to verify it for you.
Payload Capacity
In terms of payload, the F-150 can carry almost anything you need in its bed and cargo spaces. You'll get a maximum payload capacity of 2,455 pounds, which is more than sufficient for packing up camping supplies, traveling gear, and anything you might need for an off-roading adventure. With the Pro Access Tailgate, which includes a cutout that swings open like a door, it's easier than ever to load your cargo and head off on the open road.
Engine Options
When you purchase a new 2024 Ford F-150, you'll get a choice between four different engines. Here are some additional details about each of these powerful engine choices.
Twin-Turbocharged 2.7-Liter EcoBoost V-6
The first engine option available on the 2024 Ford F-150 is the twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. This engine is standard on the lower trim levels, such as the XL, STX, and XLT. While it's the base engine, it provides exceptional power, achieving 325 horsepower with ease. It can also achieve 400 lb-ft of torque, giving it sufficient strength for towing cargo.
5.0-Liter V-8
The next engine option on the new F-150 is a 5.0-liter V-8 engine, which achieves 400 horsepower. It also outputs 410 lb-ft of torque, making it slightly more powerful than the previous engine in the line. This is the standard engine on the Tremor trim level, but you can add it to other trims, such as the STX, for an additional cost.
Twin-Turbo 3.5-Liter EcoBoost V-6
For even more power, you can opt for the twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. This powertrain achieves 400 horsepower and a whopping 510 lb-ft of torque, making it a supremely impressive choice to power your new F-150. While this engine only comes standard on the highest trim levels, which are the Raptor, King Ranch, Lariat, and Platinum, you can add it to lower-level trims, such as the Tremor, for a slight increase in price.
Twin-Turbo 3.5-Liter V-6 Hybrid
One of the most exciting updates to the 2024 F-150 is the option for a hybrid powertrain. This choice comes with a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that works together with an electric motor to provide an incredibly smooth and efficient ride. In addition to its environmentally sustainable system, it achieves exceptional power, generating 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful engine option for this year's F-150. You can add this engine to your new F-150 for an additional cost on all higher-level trims, including the Platinum, Lariat, and King Ranch.
Fuel Economy
Due to the variety of engine options and different levels of performance, the fuel economy you get with a 2024 F-150 can differ slightly depending on the trim and engine you choose. For example, the standard twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 engine can get 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. With the Tremor's 5.0-liter V-8 engine, the F-150 can achieve 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. For the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 engine, you can expect 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
When opting for the hybrid version of the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, you'll get the equivalent of 26 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway with the combination of the engine and electric motor. Experts anticipate that this will equal at least 700 miles of driving range per full tank and charge.
