2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty Towing Capacity
1,209 of 6,402 live listings carry the 535 High Capacity Trailer Tow Pkg, read from the window sticker or OEM code. Updated hourly.
Our catalog rates the 2026 F-250 at 18,200 lb conventional on the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Tremor; the Limited row is blank because its figures aren't confirmed against an OEM source. That puts the option codes at the center of the 2026 story: 535, the High Capacity Trailer Tow Package, is rated 22,000 lb conventional, and 53W, the 5th Wheel Hitch Prep Package, 19,200 lb gooseneck / 5th-wheel. Both codes are counted in the listings above only when a truck's window sticker or OEM option codes show them, never from dealer text.

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 that figure isn’t shown until it’s confirmed against an OEM source.
Factory tow packages
Verified packages with an OEM order code and what they change for towing. A rating is shown only where every verified source for that code agrees.
