Will It Tow? Hauling With a 2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Truck towing experiences can vary based on class, model, and make. Nevertheless, with a few straightforward tips, you can tow just about anything. Wondering how to maximize the 2024 F-350 Super Duty’s impressive 40,000 lb. towing capacity? Read on for essential towing tips and discover all the possibilities with your new truck!
 

 

Towing safety starts with knowing your vehicle's towing capacity—the maximum weight it can safely pull. This capacity can change based on your vehicle's configuration, load, and how weight is distributed across the trailer. Keep in mind that manufacturer specifications typically assume only the driver is in the vehicle, so be sure to account for additional passengers and cargo. To determine your towing capacity, find your vehicle's gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and curb weight. Subtract the curb weight from the GCWR, and remember to maintain a 10% safety margin for shifting loads and sudden stops.
 

Understand the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which includes the vehicle’s weight with passengers, fuel, cargo, and tongue weight. Exceeding the GVWR risks mechanical failure and legal issues. Familiarize yourself with terms like braked vs. unbraked towing capacity, gross axle weight rating (GAWR), and payload capacity. Use your vehicle’s correct trailer hitch class and load for control and safety. Following these guidelines ensures a safe and efficient towing experience.

For outdoor enthusiasts and road trip lovers, the F-350 Super Duty provides an unmatched combination of comfort and capability for your adventures. With its remarkable towing capacity, you can confidently haul even the largest RVs—essentially turning your travels into a home away from home. Enjoy the freedom to travel in style while effortlessly towing 42-foot RVs that can weigh over 12,000 pounds. This allows for plenty of room not just for your essentials, but also for all the gear and belongings you need to make the most of your journey. Whether you’re exploring national parks or setting up camp at your favorite spot, the F-350 Super Duty ensures that every trip is a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Fill your weekends with all your fun outdoor hobbies with the 2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Whether you’re into motocross, equestrian sports, boating and sailing, or an exciting drive through the countryside on an ATV, you’ll tow it all. A four-horse gooseneck trailer weighs between 4,200 to 8,400 lbs empty. Add in a fully loaded stock with hay, horses, and gear, you’re looking at roughly 14,000lbs, with plenty of room to spare.

 

On the other end of the spectrum for heavy towable vehicles, a medium-sized cabin cruiser can measure up to 35 feet and weigh as much as 16,000 lbs. Fortunately, those figures are well within your towing capacity. Plus, the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage feature ensures a smooth journey from home to your favorite shore.
 

Now that we’ve explored some practical towing examples, what else could you haul? If needed, you could even tow a personal aircraft, which typically weighs around 13,000 lbs. Just remember, you’ll likely need a wide load permit, but weight won’t be an issue.

 

For some truly outrageous options, consider towing elephants, multiple pickup trucks, or construction equipment like small bulldozers and medium backhoes!
