The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) testing standard J2807 ® defines procedures and requirements to determine gross combined
SAE weight ratings (GCWR) and to calculate the trailer weight rating (TWR) for any tow vehicle. This standard establishes minimum performance
TOWING conditions to allow for consistent comparisons between similar class vehicles. Ford will apply the SAE standard to all vehicles.
STANDARD The following vehicles are not recommended for trailer towing: Fusion Hybrid, Fusion Plug-in Hybrid, Shelby GT350/GT350R Mustang, and
Mustang GT500 Shelby.
F-150 – BUILT TO GET IT DONE.
The 2020 F-150 is a workhorse designed and Built Ford Tough ® to get the job done. A high-strength steel fully boxed ladder frame and high-strength,
military-grade, aluminum alloy body save weight and add capability, helping F-150 tow up to 13,000 lbs. and deliver a best-in-class payload rating of
3,270 lbs. The staggered rear outboard shocks help provide additional driving stability. Exceptional space, power and towing capacity make F-150 the
preferred choice for towing and hauling.

TOW-DOLLY FLEXIBILITY
Tow-dollies allow you to tow your vehicle behind a RV or motorhome if
you are unable to four-wheel-down your car, truck or SUV. Tow-dollies
work by elevating the vehicle’s front drive wheels and resting them
securely on the dolly while the back two wheels stay on the ground.
They are not as long as the traditional trailers, which helps make
turning corners easy.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TOW.
BEFORE BRAKES
YOU Many states require a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of more than 1,500
pounds. For your safety, Ford Motor Company recommends that a separate functional brake system
BUY be used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or towbar-towed. There are several basic
types of brake systems designed to activate trailer brakes:
Electronically Controlled Brakes usually provide automatic and manual control of trailer brakes.
They require that the tow vehicle be equipped with a controlling device and additional wiring for
electrical power. These brakes typically have a control box installed within reach of the driver and
can be applied manually or automatically.
If you are selecting a vehicle that will be Electric-Over-Hydraulic (EOH) Trailer Brakes are operated by an electrically powered pump
used for towing, you should determine that pressurizes a hydraulic fluid reservoir built into the trailer’s brake system. Many of the available
