Required equipment and applicability

  • Trailer Tow Package (53R), standard on Raptor
  • Conventional ball-hitch trailer only. Match the complete manufacturer table row, including powertrain, body, axle ratio, GCWR and equipment conditions.
  • Published maximum assumes required equipment, no cargo, a 150-lb driver and a 150-lb passenger. It is a configuration table maximum, not a vehicle-specific label or measured mass.
  • Ford RV guide PDF page 7 requires additional options, passengers, cargo and hitch mass to be deducted from the published trailer maximum. Establish the extra mass relative to that baseline; do not deduct the same mass twice.
  • The trailer-rating baseline uses 10% conventional tongue load. Enter actual measured tongue weight or an explicit estimate; the calculator does not create a tongue-weight measurement.
  • Tongue load, people, cargo and added equipment remain subject to the vehicle payload placard, GVWR and axle ratings. None of those individual vehicle labels are supplied by this table.
  • Unknown body dimensions, transmission detail, trim or drivetrain remain unverified; a blank field does not establish applicability to every variant.
  • Equipment required for this selected cell: Trailer Tow Package (53R), standard on Raptor.
02 / The connection

Weight carrying and weight distribution

Weight carrying

Enter the installed receiver label in weight-carrying mode. Published vehicle trailer ratings do not establish the ball, ball mount, coupler or actual installed receiver capacities.

Trailer limit: Check your installed component label. Tongue limit: Check your installed component label.

Weight distributing

Enter the installed receiver and weight-distributing equipment labels and verify model-specific instructions. No equipment capacity or transfer percentage is inferred.

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.
