July 10th, 2026 by

From boats headed to Blue Marsh Lake to campers bound for the Poconos, Berks County drivers put their trucks to work. Here’s how to tow confidently with the right Ford.

Ford F-150 towing near Reading, PA
The Ford F-150 handles most boats and mid-size campers with the right tow package.

Match the Truck to the Trailer

Know your trailer’s loaded weight before you shop. The F-150 handles most boats and mid-size campers, while the Super Duty steps up for large fifth-wheels and heavy equipment. For lighter loads, the Ranger and even the Maverick can tow with the right package.

Helpful Ford Towing Tech

Pro Trailer Backup Assist, an available integrated trailer brake controller, and onboard scales with Smart Hitch take the stress out of hooking up and backing in at the ramp or campsite.

Don’t Forget the Tow Package

Factory tow packages add the right hitch, wiring, cooling, and gearing. Our team can help you spec the correct configuration for how you tow.
