The 2009 Ford Super Duty Pickup is designed to handle challenging terrain and heavy loads effortlessly. It’s the toughest and most capable pickup currently available, specifically engineered for the largest jobs.
The vehicle system has been optimized to ensure superior control and stability while hauling or towing even the heaviest payloads, simplifying your difficult tasks.
The 2009 Ford F350 Towing Capacity is supported by a range of powerful engine options and towing features, including an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller (TBC), Torqshift 5-speed automatic transmission, and class-exclusive power scope trailer tow mirrors.
If you’re considering purchasing or already owning 2009 F250, we’ve provided a detailed guide that covers the 2009 Ford F350 towing capacity. The guide includes information on engine configurations, conventional towing, 5th-wheel towing charts, and towing guidelines.
2009 Ford F350 Super Duty Strength Features
THICK C CHANNEL FRAME of up to 6.7-mm steel is one reason Super Duty delivers best-in-class payload and towing.
REAR SPRINGS measure more than 66″ to deliver enhanced ride characteristics and provide more windup stiffness to manage torque without compromising ride comfort.
HOTCHKISS REAR SUSPENSION allows model-specific spring and axle ratings for a wide range of capacities.
OUTSTANDING BRAKING POWER is what you get from the standard 4-wheel power disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). Huge vented rotors and dual-piston calipers provide strong, consistent stops, even when moving the biggest loads.
BODY-TO-FRAME MOUNTING BOLTS are driven from the bottom up, a feature many aftermarket builders find desirable.
TIGHT TURNS are easy with the F-450 wide-track monobeam front suspension and more wheel-well space, delivering an outstanding turning diameter for better maneuverability.

Towing Features on 2009 Ford F350
The 2009 Ford F350 was equipped with various towing features including Standard Trailer Sway Control, Trailer Brake Controller, Standard Hill Start Assist, and 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package.
Standard Trailer Sway Control
The Standard Trailer Sway Control was available for Single-rear-wheel (SRW) models. This control feature works with AdvanceTrac, and RSC (Roll Stability Control) using a yaw motion sensor to monitor the motions of the truck for detecting trailer sway. The system applies selected brakes and reduces engine power to help the driver regain control in the case of trailer swaying.
Though the Dual-rear-wheel (DRW) models were not equipped with AdvanceTrac technology, they operated with a similar yaw motion sensor to detect and control trailer sway.
Integrated Exhaust Brake
This feature automatically increases engine exhaust back pressure when needed to help slow the vehicle and trailer while in Tow/Haul Mode.
A single touch of the brake pedal in Tow/Haul Mode activates the system to improve control with less wear and tear on the transmission.
Trailer Brake Controller (TBC)
TBC uses braking input, vehicle speed, and ABS logic to balance the performance of the truck brakes and electric trailer brakes. The trailer brake controller output, gain levels, and trailer connection status is displayed in the instrument cluster.
TBC also offers enhanced braking with greater control due to the integration of Tow/Haul Mode with the engine brake (available on 6.7L Diesel V8 engine only). Besides, TBC eliminates the unwanted frequency of gear shifting on steep uphill grades and allows engine braking to maintain or reduce vehicle speed.
Additional braking and control are available on downhill grades when the TBC feature is used in combination with the engine brake feature on the 6.7L V8 turbo diesel engine.
New Standard Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist helps to prevent rolling back on a grade by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill. You’re always covered while heading up, or in reverse mode.
5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package
All models of the 2009 Ford F350 Pickup truck were available with the 5th-wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package which provides the necessary under-the-bed hardware to allow mounting of a 5th-wheel/gooseneck hitch in the pickup bed to put more of the trailer weight over the tow vehicle.
Conclusion on 2009 Ford F350 Towing Capacity
The maximum conventional towing capacity of the 2009 Ford F350 is 15,000 lbs whereas the maximum 5th-wheel towing capacity is 18,800 lbs when properly equipped.
How to calculate the load your vehicle can carry/tow?
1. Use the appropriate maximum GCWR chart (in the Trailer Towing section in this chapter) for your type of engine and rear axle ratio.
2. Weigh your vehicle without cargo. To obtain the correct weights, take your vehicle to a shipping company or an inspection station for trucks.
3. Subtract your loaded weight from the maximum GCWR in the chart. This is the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. It must be below the maximum trailer weight shown in the chart.
Some Important Information on 2009 Ford F350 Towing Capacity
- You should not exceed a trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. when towing with bumper only.
- The trailer tongue load weight should be 10%-15% of the total loaded trailer weight.
- The combined weight of the vehicle, and trailer must not exceed the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) mentioned in the vehicle manual.
- F350 owners must carefully read, and review the owner’s manual before buying, or using their pickup truck for towing purposes.
- The maximum towing capacity may only be achieved when the 2009 F350 is equipped with a powerful engine (6.7L Turbo Diesel V8), Max Trailer Tow Package, required tires, wheels, and genuine/approved towing accessories.
- The towing capacity varies according to the vehicle configuration, cargo, weight of passengers, addition of trailer tongue, availability of towing accessories, and other customizations.
- Your vehicle may tow a class I, II, or III trailer provided the maximum trailer weight is less than or equal to the maximum trailer weight listed for your engine and rear axle ratio on the following charts.
- Your vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle.
- Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tires, and suspension. Inspect these components carefully periodically during, and after any towing operation.
