highest towing capacity truck
In so many words, it's telling Ford to go pound sand. At issue is Ford's claim in mid-July that a 2015 F-450 4x4 Crew Cab pickup can tow 31,200 pounds. That is 1,200 pounds -- about the weight of a good-sized horse -- more than the Ram 3500's highest towing capacity of 30,000 pounds in a 4x2 Regular Cab pickup. So Ford claims the best-in-class towing crown for heavy-duty pickups. But it's not that simple, thanks in part to the way Ford calculates maximum payload.
