The 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty Pickups were the toughest, smartest, and most capable vehicle ever. The F-350s reinforced the tradition of F-Series toughness and continued to endure the most hard-line towing jobs and aggressive payloads.
The purpose-built Ford powertrains help deliver excellent performance and torque. With a maximum towing capability of 31,800 lbs. for 5th-wheel trailers and 18,500 lbs. for conventional trailers, Super Duty was designed to conquer even the most challenging jobs.
There were two engines available for the 2017 Ford F-350: a 6.2L V8 Engine, and a 6.7L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine. The diesel engine delivered more power, and towing capacity than the gas engine.
The 2017 F-350 powerful pickup truck was equipped with various towing features such as Standard Trailer Sway Control, Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, Tow/Haul Mode with Integrated Exhaust Brake, Dynamic Hitch Assist, Towing Technology, Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System, 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, and Standard Hill Start Assist.
In this blog, we will particularly focus on the 2017 Ford F-350 Towing Capacity including towing charts, engine configuration, towing features, and more.
Without further ado, let’s get started.

Towing Features on Ford F350
The 2017 Ford F350 was available with various towing features such as Standard Trailer Sway Control, Trailer Brake Controller, Standard Hill Start Assist, and 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package.
Standard Trailer Sway Control
The Trailer Sway Control was available for the 2017 Ford F350 trucks. It works in conjunction with AdvanceTrac to detect trailer sway, and reduce it as necessary. The AdvanceTrac works with the Roll Stability Control (RSC) system.
The AdvanceTrac feature comes with additional software that monitors the vehicle’s performance while towing. The yaw motion of the vehicle is measured by the software, and then the sway condition is reduced after the software determines it.
Integrated 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.
When the ABS module senses the towing vehicle’s brakes are approaching lockup, the controller’s trailer braking strategy changes to compensate for traction conditions, reducing the risk of trailer brake lockup.
TBC is fully integrated into the truck’s brake system, and provides instant visual, and audible warnings in case of accidental trailer disconnect.
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 2017 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.
Tow/Haul Mode with Integrated Exhaust Brake
- Tow/Haul Mode and Tow/Haul Mode with integrated engine brake (6.7L diesel only) give drivers even greater control when traveling downhill.
- Helps eliminate the unwanted frequency of gear shifting on steep uphill grades and allows engine braking to maintain or reduce vehicle speed and assists the driver in controlling the vehicle when descending a steep grade.
- Provides additional braking and control on downhill grades when used in combination with the engine brake feature on the 6.7L V8 turbo diesel engine.
- When the engine braking switch is selected, the engine brake adjusts the vanes on the exhaust side of the turbocharger to generate engine backpressure.
- Extra braking power requires less manual brake application from the driver, especially on downhill grades.
- Using the engine brake to slow the vehicle, rather than applying the brakes, helps reduce brake fade and brake lining wear
