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

Towing with a truck can vary based on its class, model, and make. However, with a few simple tips, you can tow just about anything. Curious about how to tow and what you can haul with 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

Towing safety begins with understanding your vehicle’s towing capacity, the maximum weight it can pull safely. This varies by configuration, load, and trailer weight distribution. Manufacturer-provided capacities often assume only the driver is in the vehicle, so adjust for extra passengers and cargo. To calculate towing capacity, know your vehicle’s gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and curb weight. Subtract curb weight from GCWR, maintaining 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.

What Can You Tow?

With a top towing limit of 40,000 lbs., the 2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty can tow just about anything!

Camping and Travel

For those passionate about the outdoors and the open road, the F-350 Super Duty can help you bring the best in comfort along for the ride. With its powerful tow limit, you’ll pull even the largest, heaviest RVs – practically a second home. Travel comfortably, easily towing 42’ RVs that can reach upwards of 12,000 base weight and plenty of room for all your belongings.

Hobbies and Sports

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.

The Sky is the Limit!

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!
