Two-Wheel Drive

• The 2000 Ford F-150s with two-wheel-drive and a 5.4-liter engine include a specialty truck, the SVT Lightning F-150.

The other two-wheel-drive pickups have a maximum tow capacity ranging from 8,300 to 8,800 pounds.
  
  

Considerations

• The maximum towing capacity is the maximum weight that the F-150 is structurally capable of handling. This rating may also take into consideration special braking options, transmission cooler and hitch styles. Make certain to check your truck's information plaque for the exact towing capacity of your particular Ford F-150.
