The Ford F-150 has been America’s best-selling truck for decades, thanks to its unbeatable power, versatility, and comfort mix. However, not all F-150s are built in the same way. With multiple trims, cab styles, bed lengths, and engines available, the truck’s weight can vary by more than 2,000 pounds — directly affecting how much you can tow, haul, and carry.

Whether you’re a contractor hauling equipment around Philadelphia, towing a camper down to the Jersey Shore, or need a truck that balances work and play, understanding the F-150’s weight ratings is key to choosing the right configuration.

At John Kennedy Ford of Feasterville, we’ve compiled this complete 2025 Ford F-150 weight guide to help you make an informed decision.

Key Weight Terms You Need to Know

Curb Weight
The weight of the truck itself with all standard equipment, fluids, and a full fuel tank — but without passengers or cargo. Lighter curb weight often means more payload capacity, but can affect towing stability.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
The maximum legal weight of your truck, including passengers, cargo, and equipment. Exceeding this number is unsafe and illegal.

Payload Capacity
The maximum weight your truck can safely carry. Calculated as GVWR minus curb weight.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating)
The maximum weight of your fully loaded truck plus a fully loaded trailer.

Towing Capacity
The maximum weight your F-150 can tow safely. This depends on engine, axle ratio, and tow packages.
