F350 towing capacity tops out at 38,000 lb on the 2027 Ford F-350 Super Duty with a gooseneck hitch, when properly equipped. Ford 2027 Super Duty spec sheet ties that rating to a dual-rear-wheel (DRW) Regular Cab 4×2 with the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel and a 4.10 axle.
But the F-350 towing capacity isn’t one number. Your hitch, engine, wheel setup and cab all change the rating. Below, you’ll find the 2027 ratings by hitch type and configuration, a straight answer on the 30,000-lb question, and a way to confirm the rating on a specific truck.
How Much Can the 2027 Ford F-350 Tow?
The table shows the highest 2027 maximum loaded trailer weight Ford Canada publishes for each F-350 setup, when properly equipped.
| 2027 F-350 Configuration | Conventional | Fifth-Wheel | Gooseneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRW, 6.7L High-Output diesel | 28,000 lb | 35,000 lb | 38,000 lb |
| SRW, 6.7L High-Output diesel | 25,000 lb | 27,400 lb | 27,600 lb |
| DRW, 7.3L gas V8 | 22,000 lb | 22,400 lb | 22,200 lb |

Conventional (Bumper-Pull) F-350 Towing Capacity
For 2027, the F-350 DRW Crew Cab with the 6.7L High-Output diesel and a 4.10 axle is rated for up to 28,000 lb conventional. On single-rear-wheel (SRW) trucks, the top conventional rating is 25,000 lb. That figure belongs to a Crew Cab 4×4 with the 8-ft box, the diesel and a 3.55 axle. Bumper-pull is the hitch you’ll use for boats, car haulers and equipment trailers.
Fifth-Wheel and Gooseneck Towing
In-bed hitches carry the trailer’s weight in the box, right over the rear axle. That’s why the ratings climb. For 2027, the DRW Regular Cab 4×2 with the 6.7L High-Output diesel and a 4.10 axle reaches 35,000 lb fifth-wheel and 38,000 lb gooseneck.
What Changes the F-350’s Towing Capacity?
Several choices decide where your truck lands in that table. For 2027, these are the big ones:
- Engine. The 7.3L gas V8 is standard on every F-350 trim (420 hp, 445 lb-ft). The 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel is available on every trim (500 hp, 1,200 lb-ft). Both use the TorqShift 10-speed automatic.
- Rear wheels. The F-350 comes in SRW and DRW. Dual rear wheels unlock the highest ratings.
- Cab and box. Choose a Regular Cab with the 8-ft box, a SuperCab, or a Crew Cab with a 6.75-ft or 8-ft box. Lighter Regular Cabs earn the top in-bed figures.
- Axle ratio. Spec sheet rows list 3.55, 4.10 and 4.30 axles, and each one shifts the rating.
- Drive. You can choose 4×2 or the available 4×4.
Off-road packages count too. The 2027 F-350 SRW Crew Cab 4×4 with the Tremor Off-Road Package (6.75-ft box) is rated for up to 23,000 lb gooseneck with the diesel. With the gas V8, it reaches 21,000 lb. Conventional towing is 18,200 lb with either engine.
Not sure a Super Duty is the right fit? The F-250 vs F-350 comparison shows how the two heavy-duty trucks differ.
Can a Ford F-350 Tow 30,000 lb?
Yes, with the right setup. For 2027, only the DRW diesel goes past 30,000 lb. It does so with a fifth-wheel (35,000 lb) or gooseneck (38,000 lb) hitch, when properly equipped.
Everything else stays below that mark:
- Conventional towing tops out at 28,000 lb.
- SRW diesel trucks reach 27,600 lb with a gooseneck.
- Gas V8 trucks top out at 22,400 lb.
That said, the trailer rating is only one check. Your payload and combined weight must also fit inside the truck’s limits. It matters whether you’re running a big fifth-wheel up Highway 400 to cottage country or hauling equipment across the GTA.
Payload, Hitch Weight and GCWR in Plain Language
Payload is everything the truck carries: people, gear and the trailer’s hitch weight. For 2027, the F-350 reaches up to 7,900 lb of payload when properly equipped. That rating belongs to an XL Regular Cab 4×2 DRW with the 7.3L and the Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package. The top diesel payload is 6,935 lb, from an XL Regular Cab 4×2 DRW with the 6.7L High-Output engine.
Here’s a simple example. Say your fifth-wheel puts 3,000 lb on the hitch. Add 800 lb of passengers and tools. You’ve used 3,800 lb of payload before the trailer even moves.
GCWR (gross combined weight rating) is the most the truck, its load and the loaded trailer can weigh together. It varies by build, so check your truck’s figure in the owner’s manual.
How to Confirm Your F-350 Towing Rating in Toronto

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the towing capacity of a Ford F-350?
The 2027 Ford F-350 tows up to 38,000 lb with a gooseneck hitch when properly equipped. That rating comes from a DRW Regular Cab 4×2 with the 6.7L High-Output diesel and a 4.10 axle. With the same setup, fifth-wheel towing reaches 35,000 lb. Conventional towing tops out at 28,000 lb on a DRW Crew Cab diesel. Gas and single-rear-wheel trucks carry lower ratings, so check the table above for your setup.
How much can the gas F-350 tow?
The 7.3L gas V8 is standard on every 2027 F-350 trim. When properly equipped, it reaches up to 22,400 lb with a fifth-wheel on a DRW Regular Cab 4×2. An SRW Regular Cab 4×2 with a 4.30 axle hits the same figure with a gooseneck. Conventional towing reaches 22,000 lb on DRW trucks and 19,500 lb on SRW trucks. That covers plenty of campers and equipment trailers. For heavier loads, look at the diesel.
Does a dually F-350 tow more than a single-rear-wheel model?
Yes. For 2027, the DRW F-350 with the 6.7L High-Output diesel reaches 38,000 lb gooseneck and 28,000 lb conventional, when properly equipped. The SRW diesel tops out at 27,600 lb gooseneck and 25,000 lb conventional. Dual rear wheels give you the most capability for heavy fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers. Still, SRW trucks handle substantial loads for many owners.

In short, it suits owners who want trail ability and strong towing in one truck.
Where do I find the towing rating for my specific F-350?
Start with the label on the driver’s door jamb, which lists payload and weight ratings. Next, check the owner’s manual for towing and GCWR details.

The Yorkdale Ford team in Toronto can match your trailer to the right truck.
