Full-size pickups that tow the most

What is compared: the maker’s maximum conventional (bumper-pull) trailer rating; half-ton and heavy-duty trucks together.

One row per model: its newest generation, the newest model year we have that publishes the number (at most two years older than its newest), and the configuration with the highest figure, factory packages included and named. Fleet-only configurations (police and special-service trucks) are left out. When two trims tie, the four-wheel-drive one stands for both. Numbers are ranked as printed, so equal-looking numbers tie.

US ratings only: makers rate towing and payload differently by market, so only US-market figures are ranked against each other.

“Up to”: where the maker prints a ceiling over a range of configurations instead of a number for each, the list shows the ceiling and the range it covers.

Scope: among the 7 full-size pickups in our data with a published figure. It isn’t every full-size pickup on sale: it is every one we have documents for. We track 1 more without the number in the documents we have: GMC Sierra 1500. Fewer than 5 with the number and there is no list.

Dates: the documents behind these figures were last checked Oct 12, 2026. A number is wrong or missing? Report a wrong number with the document. More in how we source the numbers.
