The 2026 Ford Maverick handles lighter loads with up to 4,000 pounds of towing capacity, the 2026 Ford F-150 steps up with as much as 13,500 pounds on tap, and the 2026 Ford Super Duty takes it to another level entirely with a maximum of 40,000 pounds.

2026 Ford F-150
The F-150 is Canada's best-selling pickup truck for a reason, and towing capability is a big part of that story. With six available engine options, the 2026 F-150 can be configured to match almost any towing need.
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 leads the lineup with a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, which is more than enough for most trailers, campers, and boats. For drivers who want efficiency alongside towing capability, the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 delivers 435 horsepower, 578 pound-feet of torque, and up to 11,600 pounds of towing, all while saving fuel on the way to the job site.
Towing confidence is further backed by standard Trailer Sway Control with AdvanceTrac and Roll Stability Control, and available features like a 360-Degree Camera, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist make hooking up and reversing with a trailer much less stressful.
2026 Ford Super Duty
The 2026 Ford Super Duty is built specifically for heavy-duty towing and hauling, with a maximum available towing capacity of 40,000 pounds and a best-in-class payload of 8,000 pounds.
The 6.7L High Output Power Stroke Diesel is the heavy hitter with 500 horsepower, 1,200 pound-feet of torque, and 40,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity. That's the kind of number that makes it one of the most capable production trucks available anywhere.
The Super Duty also supports conventional, gooseneck, and 5th wheel towing configurations, giving you flexibility depending on what you're pulling. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 adds a Rear View Camera with Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, and a Lane-Keeping System for added confidence on every haul.
2026 Ford Maverick
Don't let the Maverick's compact size fool you. This smart, versatile truck comes standard with a 2.5L PowerBoost hybrid powertrain and is capable of towing up to 4,000 pounds with the available 4K Tow Package, making it a genuinely capable option for drivers who don't need a full-size truck but still want to pull a small trailer, boat, or utility load.
The 2.0L EcoBoost engine is the one to choose if towing is a priority, with 250 horsepower, 277 pound-feet of torque, and 4,000 pounds of towing capacity with the 4K Tow Package applied. That package also adds a Trailer Hitch (Class III) 2-inch receiver with 4-pin and 7-pin connector, a trailer brake controller, and an upgraded cooling fan to keep everything running smoothly under load.
For a compact truck, the Maverick packs a lot of capability into a package that's easy to drive and park in the city, a great pick for lighter towing needs without the footprint of a full-size truck.
