How Much Can the 2025 Ford F-150® Safely Tow around Pueblo, CO?

Alpine Ford – How Much Can the 2025 Ford F-150® Safely Tow around Pueblo, CO?

The short answer is that the 2025 Ford F-150® offers an available tow rating up to 13,500 lbs. when properly equipped — but the smarter answer explains what that means for your trailer, your route, and your day. If you’re planning weekend escapes to the high country or hauling equipment across town, knowing how the F-150® achieves that number is the key to safe, confident towing.

Ford backs the 2025 F-150® with integrated technology that helps you line up, hook up, and head out with less stress. Camera and sonar systems act like a second set of eyes, with clear guidance to the hitch and awareness once you’re moving. Pick the cab and bed combo that balances passenger space with payload, and you’ll have a stronger foundation for your specific trailer. Below, we break down how to right-size your setup for real Colorado driving.

• Know your trailer: Confirm gross trailer weight, tongue weight, and load distribution so you match your truck’s configuration to the task.
• Choose your configuration: Engine, axle ratio, cab, and bed length all influence ratings — pick for your heaviest frequent load, not your lightest.
• Set up the hitch: The correct hitch class, ball size, and weight-distribution system stabilize your rig and protect braking performance.
• Balance the load: Keep tongue weight within spec and cargo tied down to reduce sway and improve steering control.
• Plan the route: Consider grades, wind, and stop density; the F-150® can tow hard, but smart routing reduces fatigue and saves time.

Tech isn’t just about comfort — it’s about control. Available BlueCruise hands-free driving can reduce fatigue on compatible divided highways, while the available Head-Up Display keeps navigation cues and driver-assist status in your line of sight. Combine those with the F-150®’s confident braking and suspension tuning, and you have a tow partner that feels composed when the road gets busy or the wind kicks up on the plains.

For owners who mix work and play, Pro Power Onboard is a bonus. Power up tools at the jobsite or run camp essentials when you arrive. And if trails are on the agenda, STX® with FX4®, F-150® TREMOR®, Raptor®, and Raptor R™ bring the hardware and software you need for dirt and rock before you ever add aftermarket parts.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the F-150® need special mirrors or a brake controller for heavy trailers?

For larger travel trailers or equipment, extended mirrors and an electric brake controller are highly recommended. Proper trailer braking shortens stopping distances, keeps the rig stable, and reduces strain on truck components. Ask our team to review factory equipment and accessories that fit your specific trailer.

How do I choose between cabs when I tow often?

SuperCrew is ideal if you regularly carry passengers and gear; SuperCab offers a balance of cab space and payload; Regular Cab maximizes work-focused capacity. The right match depends on how often you tow versus how often you carry people and cargo inside the cabin.

Which off-road models still tow well?

STX® with FX4® and F-150® TREMOR® are versatile choices if you split time between trails and towing. They deliver enhanced ground clearance, protective hardware, and tuned stability while preserving everyday drivability and confidence with a trailer.
