Why the Ford Super Duty is Perfect for Towing and Hauling in the Greater Toronto Area

Our team at Erinwood Ford knows drivers across Toronto need trucks that handle real work and harsh weather. The Ford Super Duty lineup stands out in the GTA for hauling, thanks to tough drivetrains and smart trailer tools built for Canadian jobs.

Unmatched power and performance

The 2025 Ford Super Duty trucks deliver raw strength. The available 6.7-litre High Output Power Stroke Diesel engine can tow up to 18,143 kg. Drivers in the Greater Toronto Area who need top hauling power for work or play get it here.

Payload maxes out at a strong 3,629 kg on select models.

Each Ford F-Series Super Duty comes with a smart ten-speed automatic transmission that keeps performance smooth and sharp under heavy loads. Gas choices include robust engines like the 6.8-litre V8 and the mighty 7.3-litre V8 option.

At Erinwood Ford, we see customers choose the F-250, F-350, and F-450 when they need unmatched towing muscle across Ontario.

These Ford Super Duty pickups lead their class for both towing capacity and capability on Canadian roads.

Built for tough Canadian conditions

Unmatched power and performance mean little if a truck cannot thrive in Canada’s harsh climates. Our Ford Super Duty lineup faces winter storms, sudden temperature drops, icy roads, and muddy job sites every day around Toronto.

We offer trucks like the F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty that handle these tough Canadian conditions with ease.

Ford’s engineers designed these trucks for rugged environments. High-strength aluminum bodies protect the cargo bed from salt and ice damage common across Ontario. Heated and ventilated leather-trimmed seats keep you comfortable during long drives on frozen highways or while hauling in humid summers.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and Trailer Reverse Guidance help drivers operate even large trailers safely through snow or tight city streets.

Super Duty models for 2025 set benchmarks in towing capacity for diesel gooseneck trailers—up to 18,143 kilograms. For nearly six decades, Canadians have relied on Ford Super Duty trucks as top sellers because they withstand local weather challenges better than other pickups from Toyota or Chevrolet.

Key Features of the Ford Super Duty

Our team knows what drivers want from their Ford Super Duty in Toronto and the GTA. These trucks deliver strength, smart tech, and rugged design made for Canada’s roads.

Best-in-class towing capacity

The Ford Super Duty lineup leads the way in towing for drivers across Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario. The F-250 starts strong with up to 10,000 kg towing on a standard hitch and up to 10,432 kg when equipped with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck setup.

Looking for more power? The F-350 goes further with up to 14,923 kg ) using a fifth-wheel or gooseneck. For maximum strength, the F-450 dominates with the highest rating—up to 18,143 kg on a properly configured fifth-wheel or gooseneck connection.

Ford Super Duty trucks give drivers serious muscle for work or play in the GTA, says Dave Raymond from Erinwood Ford.

Each model needs proper equipment and configuration for these best-in-class numbers. Whether you haul large trailers or heavy gear around Southern Ontario, our Ford Super Duty trucks stand ready for any challenge.

Advanced trailer technology

Pro Trailer Hitch Assist in the Ford Super Duty simplifies hitching by handling steering, speed, and braking. It lines up your truck with the trailer for you. BLIS with Trailer Coverage warns you if a vehicle moves into your blind spot while towing through Toronto or across Ontario highways.

Turn Signal Camera View shows the side of your Ford Super Duty when you use your blinker, letting you see what is happening next to your pickup and trailer. The Truck’s Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TTPMS) puts each trailer tire’s pressure right on your dash display so you can catch issues before they stop travel.

The 2025 models now bring a Head-Up Display (HUD) with three views: Normal for daily trips in Mississauga, Off-Road for uneven worksites, and Tow-Haul for active trailering days around Ontario.

Next up is how Ford builds these trucks tough, using high-strength aluminum body panels built to last every Canadian season.

High-strength, military-grade aluminum body

Ford Super Duty trucks use a high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body. This design gives the F-250 and other models in our lineup extra durability on tough Ontario roads. Aluminum construction lowers weight without losing strength or safety.

The bold, chiseled front grille stands out and adds protection during harsh Canadian winters.

Our team at Erinwood Ford has seen these bodies handle salt, snow, and heavy-duty jobs with ease across the Greater Toronto Area. Built to resist dents and corrosion, this frame is ready for hauling big loads over long distances.

With less weight than traditional steel bodies, you get improved fuel efficiency while keeping rock-solid towing power. Next up: see how popular Super Duty models like the Ford F-250 deliver top results for your toughest tasks.

Towing and Hauling Tips for the Greater Toronto Area

Our team at Erinwood Ford recommends every driver in the Greater Toronto Area check their pickup’s specs, choose the right hitch, and follow best towing practices—discover how you can safely haul more with a Ford Super Duty from our Mississauga location.

Read on for expert advice that makes your next heavy-duty move easy.

Understanding weight limits and capacities

Ford Super Duty trucks, like the F-250 and F-350, use Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) to show how much weight they can carry safely. GAWR tells you the max load each axle supports, while GVWR covers the full weight of your Ford truck plus passengers, trailer tongue load, and cargo.

Always factor in people riding with you and every bit of gear or towing equipment.

Max payload and towing capacities change based on trim level, accessories, cab style such as extended cab or crew cab, number of seats filled by passengers, and which towing package is used.

For best results in Toronto or Mississauga traffic with a Ford Super Duty GTA model from Erinwood Ford, follow SAE J2807 standards for exact values. Trailer tongue loads should sit at 10% for standard trailers; fifth-wheel or gooseneck setups need about 15%.

Using proper trailer hitch setup keeps everything balanced when hauling heavy loads around Ontario roads.

Proper trailer hitch setup

Setting up your trailer hitch correctly is key for safe towing. Our team at Erinwood Ford in Mississauga, Ontario, knows how important this is for your Ford Super Duty.

Check the hitch rating. Make sure it matches or exceeds the weight of the trailer and load you plan to pull.
Inspect the hitch ball. It should fit your trailer's coupler size exactly.
Lock the coupler securely onto the hitch ball. Pull up on the trailer to test if it's locked in place tightly.
Connect safety chains. Cross them under the trailer tongue to create a cradle if it disconnects.
Plug in all electrical connectors. This makes sure your brake lights, turn signals, and other necessary lights work with the truck.
Ensure Pro Trailer Backup Assist is calibrated if your model has it; this tool helps steer your trailer when reversing.
Use Pro Trailer Hitch Assist for models equipped with it, allowing automatic steering, accelerating, and braking during hitching.
Adjust Side Mirror Extenders for a wider view around your loaded trailer.
Confirm Smart Hitch detection is active to check correct hitch attachment and weight distribution before departure.
Practice using Trailer Reverse Guidance and Turn Signal Camera View to familiarize yourself with their views and indicators for safer maneuvers.

Now let’s move on to understanding weight limits and capacities for your Super Duty truck.

Safe driving practices for heavy loads

Driving with heavy loads in the Greater Toronto Area requires skill and attention. At our Erinwood Ford dealership in Mississauga, Ontario, we know that safety comes first, whether you're towing with a Ford Super Duty or hauling gear across town. Here are some essential tips for safe driving with heavy loads:

Check the vehicle and trailer before each trip. Make sure the brakes, lights, and signals work well.
Know your Ford Super Duty's towing capacity. Do not haul more weight than it can handle.
Use the right hitch setup for your load. This ensures the trailer is attached securely to your Ford truck.
Distribute weight evenly in trailers or trucks. It helps control and stability on the road.
Drive slower than usual speeds allow more time to stop safely.
Avoid sudden stops and starts that can shift or destabilize the load.
Take wide turns to accommodate your trailer's or load's extra length and width.
Be mindful of overhead obstacles like bridges or low hanging branches.
Stay alert for changing road conditions; they affect how you should handle your vehicle when it's loaded.
Plan routes ahead to avoid heavy traffic, tight turns, and roads unsuitable for your load size.

At Erinwood Ford, we help customers understand these practices so they can tow and haul safely in their Ford Super Duty trucks throughout Ontario.
