I never understood the towing capacity argument. My tiny compact with a 1.6 liter Diesel engine has a towing capacity of 3400 pounds.
The '24 F150 will tow up to 13,500 lb (SuperCrew, 6.5â box, 4Ã--4, 3.5L) and all models will tow at least 8,200 lb. And that's just the least of the F-Series, but it is the world's most popular vehicle if you add up all the models so it's the obvious example...
If you want to tow around a big boat or a decently-sized travel trailer, your tiny compact won't do that. Neither will mine, for that matter — I have a 2008 Versa with a 1.8l gas engine and 132 bhp, with no avowed tow rating at all in this country. Supposedly in other markets it's rated for 1323 lb without trailer brakes, or 2204 lb with.
