Most of the 473 towing miles were logged on the highway at 65 to 75 mph. The Cricket isn’t as aerodynamic as some of the other things we’ve towed, however, which may explain the lower gas mileage. It’s the lightest thing we’ve towed with our F-150, but the truck’s 13.7 mpg average fuel economy was the second-worst gas mileage we’ve observed when towing.

We’ll add to the list as we tow more things. Here’s a summary of what we’ve towed so far with our 2021 F-150 Limited.
Towing the maximum weight our truck is rated to handle leaves just 202 pounds for anything else, as the payload rating for our well-equipped truck is just 1,362 pounds. The Max Trailer Tow Package isn’t offered on Limited trim levels like our long-term 2021 F-150, and our truck-specific trailering limits are 5,000 pounds when equipped with a weight-carrying hitch and 11,600 pounds with a weight-distributing hitch, with tongue weights not to exceed 500 and 1,160 pounds, respectively.

The 2021 Ford F-150 hybrid gets an EPA-estimated gas mileage of up to 25 mpg combined, and the truck’s long driving range of more than 700 miles on a single tank is a compelling attribute.
