I have a 2016 F150 3.5 non echo boost. On some places, it says I can only tow 5000 lbs. But on the others, it says I can tow up to 7600 lbs. Does anyone know what the correct amount I can tow is? I want to get a boat and this will decide what kind I get. I don't want to get to the boat ramp and not be able to pull it out. Again, I have the 3.5 NON echo boost.

Its a 4x2, super cab, and with the 6 1/2 foot bed. Not sure what gear ratio it is. Where do I find that? And it does have the electronic locking differential.

Without even looking I'd seriously doubt anything over 5000 and that might be pushing it.

axle code in the driver's door jam

I just found that. Its the 3.55 gears. So I guess then the 5000 lbs was correct.

It has a tow package. So I was thinking the 5000 lbs was only for the bumper towing ball. If you have a tow package which mine does, I thought you could tow more.

5k is all it is rated for.

edit you would have to have the 3.73 and 12200 gvcw to get the 7400
