If you've got a 2010 Ford F-150 then you need to
know its towing capacity before pulling or hauling

00:05.920 --> 00:11.840
anything with it. Towing heavy trailers weighing
greater than the 2010 Ford F-150's max towing

00:11.840 --> 00:16.000

and configurations, the trailer weight must not

01:08.559 --> 01:16.160
exceed 5,100 pounds when towing with or by bumper

01:16.160 --> 01:20.800
your truck must be equipped with either trailer
towing package, heavy duty payload package

01:20.800 --> 01:30.800
