2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty Towing Capacity

116 of 786 live listings carry the 53W 5TH WHEEL HITCH PREP PACKAGE, read from the window sticker or OEM code. Updated hourly.

The 2024 F-250 is rated 18,200 lb conventional on every trim in our catalog except the Limited, which is listed at 22,000 lb with 5th-wheel / gooseneck prep standard and a 21,600 lb gooseneck rating. On the other trims, two option codes carry the heavier numbers: 535, the High Capacity Trailer Tow Package, at 22,000 lb conventional, and 53W, the 5th Wheel Hitch Prep Package, at 19,200 lb gooseneck / 5th-wheel. The Lariat Ultimate Package, 96U, adds trailer backup assist but no rating change. The XL runs the 6.8L gas V8 on a 3.73 axle; the other trims, the Power Stroke diesel on 3.55.

One catalog configuration per trim. Each trim comes in several engine, axle, cab and bed combinations with different ratings; a truck's own window sticker has its exact ones. A dash means the figure isn’t in our catalog or isn’t confirmed against an OEM source.
