Where these numbers come from

Each year's figures are taken from that year's Ford RV and Trailer Towing Guide and checked line by line against the original. The year pages link to the exact page of the guide. How we check.

Towing capacity is only one limit. Your payload, hitch rating and GCWR also have to hold. Check a trailer against all of them.
