How to read these numbers
Towing capacity assumes a lightly loaded truck. Passengers, cargo and the trailer's tongue weight all count against payload, which usually runs out first.

Frequently asked questions
How much can a 2025 Ford Expedition tow?
Up to 9,600 lb when properly equipped. The lowest-rated configuration listed (3.5L EcoBoost V6, 4x2) is rated at 6,000 lb, and the highest (3.5L EcoBoost V6, 4x4) at 9,600 lb.
What is the payload capacity of a 2025 Ford Expedition?
Ford does not publish payload in the document we used; the figure for your exact vehicle is on the tire and loading placard on the driver's door pillar. Payload includes passengers, cargo and the trailer's tongue weight, so it is usually the limit you reach first. The Ford document we used does not list GVWR; yours is on the certification label in the driver's door jamb.
Does the 2025 Ford Expedition need a tow package to reach its maximum rating?
The 9,600 lb maximum applies to the standard-wheelbase Expedition 4x4 with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 3.73 axle and GCWR 15,900 lb; Class IV Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow is standard on 4x4 and trailers over 7,000 lb require a weight-distributing hitch. Configurations without the package carry a lower rating; see the note column in the table above.
Can a 2025 Ford Expedition tow a travel trailer?
A configuration rated at 9,600 lb can handle a trailer with a loaded weight of roughly 7,600 lb while keeping a 20% safety margin, provided passengers, cargo and tongue weight stay within the payload on your door-pillar placard. Run your exact numbers in the towing calculator.
