Towing capacity
How much can a 2003 F150 5.4 Triton tow? It’s a Supercab.

The owners manual will have the tow ratings. You can download it from Fords website under the owners tab if your truck doesn’t have a physical copy.

That’s not entirely accurate. A 4.2/5-speed/3.31 gears is rated for about 2,000#. A 4.2 with 3.55 gears as well as the 4.6 with 3.31s backed with 5-speeds rate for 3,500# if memory serves correctly.
