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.

What is the payload capacity of a 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty?
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.

The 22,000 lb conventional maximum requires the 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel (standard or High Output), SuperCab or Crew Cab 4x4, and the F-250 High-Capacity Axle Upgrade Package (535), GCWR 30,000 to 31,000 lb; the 5th-wheel or gooseneck maximum is 23,000 lb (6.7L High Output, Regular Cab 4x2, 3.55 axle, package 535).
