Lithia Springs Ford – How Much Can the 2025 Ford F-150 Tow in Lithia Springs, GA?
If you are comparing full-size pickups, the big question at the top of your list is likely tow ratings. The answer is straightforward for shoppers near the I-20 corridor: when properly configured, the 2025 Ford F-150 delivers an available maximum tow rating of up to 13,500 lbs. That means weekend campers, ski boats for Sweetwater Creek, and equipment trailers around Douglas County are well within reach with the right configuration. At Lithia Springs Ford, we help shoppers dial in the exact build that meets your trailer’s needs and your daily driving priorities.
Two things determine whether you can access the top of the F-150 capability range: choosing the right engine and selecting the correct towing hardware. Ford’s available 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 paired with the available Max Trailer Tow Package is typically the backbone of the highest published ratings. Other engines, including the 5.0L V8 and the available 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6, offer strong towing in their own right, with the Hybrid adding the bonus of available Pro Power Onboard to run tools and accessories at the campsite or jobsite. Final numbers vary by cab, bed, axle ratio, 4×2 vs. 4×4, and equipment — our team will verify the precise figure for your specific truck and trailer.
- Engine selection: The available 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is the go-to for the highest tow ratings, while the 5.0L V8 and 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 balance strong tow performance with different benefits.
- Axle ratio and drivetrain: The right axle ratio can increase conventional tow capacity, and 4×2 vs. 4×4 can change the rating for otherwise similar trucks.
- Cab and bed configuration: SuperCrew, SuperCab, and bed length influence curb weight and wheelbase, both of which affect tow figures.
- Packages and cooling: The available Max Trailer Tow Package adds key hardware and calibrations designed to support higher tow ratings and sustained performance.
- Hitch class and brake controller: Factory receiver hitches and an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller help ensure you are set up to tow safely and confidently.
Capability is only part of the story — control is the other. The 2025 F-150 is engineered to make towing easier before you ever hit Thornton Road. Available camera and sensor tech helps you align, connect, and monitor your setup with confidence, even if you are new to towing or stepping up to a heavier trailer this year.
- Pro Trailer Backup Assist™: Use the dash-mounted knob to steer the trailer while the truck handles steering inputs for you when backing.
- Pro Trailer Hitch Assist: Automatically centers the hitch ball under the coupler to speed up and simplify hook-up.
- Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch: Estimates payload and tongue weight right on the screen, helping you load correctly for stable handling.
- BLIS® with Trailer Coverage: Monitors blind spots alongside your truck and trailer for extra awareness when changing lanes on I-20.
- Head-Up Display: Available projected information helps keep key cues in your line of sight while towing.
- BlueCruise: Available hands-free highway driving on designated roadways can help reduce fatigue on long hauls when conditions allow.
For local buyers, matching the tow rating to real-world terrain matters. Rolling grades toward the Chattahoochee, surface streets through Lithia Springs, and summer heat all put demands on powertrain cooling and braking. That is why our consultants look beyond a single number. We will review your trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, estimated loaded weight, tongue weight targets, and where you plan to tow — then guide you to the configuration that fits, whether that is an XLT, LARIAT®, TREMOR®, or beyond. If off-road trails are also on the agenda, we can help you balance approach angles, tire choices, and tow capacity without overbuilding for your use case.
- Clarify your trailer needs: Identify GVWR, typical loaded weight, and tongue weight range to target the right configuration.
- Choose your powertrain: Decide between the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 for maximum towing, the 5.0L V8 for classic response, or the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 for tow-ready power plus available Pro Power Onboard.
- Select the right package: Add the available Max Trailer Tow Package for higher conventional ratings and built-in towing confidence.
- Match cab, bed, and axle: Confirm wheelbase and axle ratio that support your target tow rating and driving style.
- Validate with us: We will confirm the exact rating for your VIN, walk you through hitch setup, and demonstrate the towing tech before you drive home.
