The 2026 Ford F-150 lineup runs from a hard-working entry model to a 720-hp desert runner, with eight trims in between that each answer a different question. For Ontario truck buyers ready to choose, the decision usually comes down to two things: how much you need to tow, and how much comfort and capability you want along the way.
This guide lays out every trim, connects each one to the buyer it serves, and puts the real towing numbers on the table so nothing is left to guesswork. Every capacity below reflects a properly equipped configuration.

The top rating of 13,500 lbs (6,123 kg) comes from the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 in an XLT SuperCrew 4x4 with the 6.5-foot box, Tow/Haul Package, and Max Tow Axle. That is the configuration to specify when towing is the whole point.
