What is the Towing Capacity of a 2017 F350?

I’m currently considering purchasing a 2017 Ford F-350 and I need to know about its towing capacity. I’ve done some basic research, but I’m looking for more detailed information to help me make my decision.

Key Points to Consider:

  • Towing Ratings: What are the specific towing ratings for different versions of the F-350? I’ve seen numbers around 20,000 lbs but want to know what might affect that.
  • Engine Choices: How do engine options—like the diesel vs. gas versions—impact towing performance?
  • Practical Usage: For those who have experience towing with this truck, what has your experience been like? Did it meet your expectations?
  • Regulations: Are there specific regulations or guidelines I should be aware of regarding towing with the F-350 in my area?

Comparisons

If anyone has comparisons with earlier or later models, I would love to hear how the 2017 model stacks up. It could really provide some clarity on whether I should be moving forward with this purchase.

I appreciate any insights you can share! Thanks in advance!
