The 2021 Ford F-150 towing and payload capacities 

It’s been a long wait since the 2021 Ford F-150 made its debut without releasing its official specs. Now, after months of waiting, we know that the Ford F-150 isn’t short on power. The Ford F-150 can tow up to 14,000 lb when properly equipped. It can also carry a payload of up to 3,325 lb. 

This is a bit of an upgrade from the 2020 Ford F-150, which could tow up to 13,2000 and carry a payload of up to 3,270 lb. To be exact, the 2021 model can tow 800 more pounds.

Also, the 2021 Ram 1500, which is the second most popular truck, can tow up to 12,750 lb and carry a payload of 2,302. So, the second place Ram 1500 is now pretty far behind the Ford F-150.
