Weekend tows past Glen Carbon start with knowing the ceiling. The highest-rated 2027 Ford F-150 combination pairs the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with a SuperCrew 4x4, the 6.5-foot box, a 3.55 axle, a 19,400-lb GCWR, the available Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle. When properly equipped that way, it can pull up to 13,500 lbs.

Pair the Tow/Haul Package with the Max Tow Axle and more big ratings open up, each when properly equipped. A 5.0L V8 SuperCrew with the 5.5-foot box tows up to 12,800 lbs in 4x2 or 4x4, and the PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 reaches up to 12,100 lbs as a SuperCrew 4x2 or up to 11,600 lbs in 4x4.

Nobody needs to wave you back in an O'Fallon driveway, because the 2027 Ford F-150's available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist handles the steering, throttle and brakes. In reverse, Pro Trailer Backup Assist points the trailer with a twist of the knob. XLT offers both as options, and Lariat, Tremor, King Ranch and Platinum bring them standard.

For a trailer of up to 10,000 lbs, or the truck's rating if lower, new available BlueCruise with Towing adds hands-free highway driving, eyes on the road, in more than 130,000 miles of pre-qualified Blue Zones. That 10,000-lb figure needs the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle, and the truck must be BlueCruise-equipped and have an active plan or trial.

• Tow/Haul Package brings an integrated trailer brake controller
• Trailer Reverse Guidance and Dynamic Hitch Assist, both available
• 7-wire harness, 4- and 7-pin connector, Smart Trailer Tow Connector
