5. 2025 Ford F-150 – 13,500 Pounds

When equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, SuperCrew cab, six-and-a-half-foot box, Tow/Haul package, and Max Tow Axle, the F-150 can handle up to 13,500 pounds.


Freshly refreshed for 2024, it now offers an optional Pro Access Tailgate and a 12-inch touchscreen.

4. 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger – 14,000 Pounds

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger is a plug-in hybrid like no other. Its gas V-6 doesn’t drive the wheels—it serves solely as a generator for the 70.8-kWh battery. Dual electric motors do the heavy lifting, and the result is a max tow rating of 14,000 pounds.


It’s not on the market yet, but once it arrives, it should redefine what hybrid trucks can do.

In heavy-duty form, the GM twins are towing monsters. The 3500 dually with the Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V-8 and Max Trailering Package can tow up to 36,000 pounds.


That’s enough for a bulldozer, a yacht, or nine Corvette ZR1s.

The undisputed king of towing, the Ford Super Duty, tops the charts at 40,000 pounds. The setup? An F-450 Regular Cab 4x2 dually with the High Output Power Stroke diesel and the High-Capacity Gooseneck Tow Package.
