Weight carrying and weight distribution
Published factory receiver WC ceiling. Verify the installed label and every separate hitch component; this is not the owner's equipment inventory.
Trailer limit: 5,000 lb / 2,267.96 kg (US 2022 F-150 factory receiver family weight-carrying ceiling; actual installed receiver label still required). Tongue limit: 500 lb / 226.8 kg (US 2022 F-150 factory receiver family weight-carrying ceiling; actual installed receiver label still required).
Enter the installed receiver's WD trailer and tongue limits. Ford's family maximum table and package-specific receiver descriptions are not a verified label for this truck; no WD family maximum is prefilled.
Trailer limit: Check your installed component label. Tongue limit: Check your installed component label.
Weight distribution does not raise factory ratings. Axle loads and vehicle mass in the adjusted state require measurements. Receiver, ball mount, ball, and coupler must each be checked.
