This week in pickup truck news, we’ve got the lowdown on the 2019 Ford F-150’s towing capabilities, including its listed fifth-wheel capacities— unique among half-ton truck manufacturers. Meanwhile, Chevrolet made headlines earlier this year with its redesigned 2020 Silverado 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty trucks, and now we have pricing information and a full video of our walkaround to share. Finally, we took the new 2019 Ram 2500 Power Wagon off-roading and got some fantastic footage to share with you.

We got a chance to drive one at Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, Ind., through and over all sorts of obstacles, and the 2019 Ram 2500 Power Wagon handled them with aplomb — and occasionally with a bit of a pucker factor as the big truck doesn’t always leave much room to spare.

Towing With the 2019 F-150
We have a detailed breakdown of the 2019 Ford F-150’s maximum towing capabilities by engine and cab type, as well as figures for the Limited and Raptor variants — including info on just how you’ll need to configure a truck to reach those capabilities.
