2026 Full-Size Truck Comparison
Start with the actual truck's engine, cab, axle ratio, drivetrain, payload and tow package. A headline maximum cannot be combined with another configuration's price or fuel consumption.

Quick Verdict
Start with the actual truck’s engine, cab, axle ratio, drivetrain, payload and tow package. A headline maximum cannot be combined with another configuration’s price or fuel consumption.
Ford: Conditional Canadian References
Ford Canada’s current 2026 F-150 page, checked October 19, lists up to 13,500 lb towing for the applicable 3.5-litre EcoBoost configuration and up to 11,600 lb for PowerBoost, subject to its qualifications. Those manufacturer maxima are not capacities of every truck carrying the badge.
The same live page is internally inconsistent: its PowerBoost cards and prose give different horsepower figures, and its V8 torque figures differ between sections. Request the actual build’s dated engine and tow documents rather than picking one number from the page.
Ford identifies SYNC 4, rather than our former SYNC 4A claim. The linked US XL page cannot certify Canadian standard equipment. Current live information also does not retroactively establish every detail available on April 6.
Ram: A Separate US Manufacturer Reference
Ram’s current page headed 2026 gives these engine-specific figures. They are US-site manufacturer claims, not a certified Canadian comparison or MotorLinks measurements:
| Ram US engine reference | Horsepower | Torque (lb-ft) | Maximum towing (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.7L HEMI V8 | 395 | 410 | 11320 |
| 3.0L Hurricane | 420 | 469 | 11610 |
| High-output 3.0L Hurricane | 540 | 521 | 10000 |
Availability in Canada, the specific trim and the original April claim still require dated market documents. Do not treat a current US page as proof of a Canadian offer.
Silverado and the Remaining Equipment Questions
We did not recover a matched Canadian 2026 Silverado specification from the attempted page. Its old horsepower, transmission, tow/consumption table and claimed refresh details are not presented as verified here.
Snow-plow suitability, suspension options and trailer limits need the actual vehicle’s instructions and configuration records.
Fuel Economy and Ownership Costs
Use Natural Resources Canada’s configuration-specific ratings, then state your distance, fuel price and loading assumptions separately. Those inputs are not an official fuel-cost ranking.
Obtain itemized local quotes and insurance costs for trucks equipped for the same job. Inspect seating, loading access and controls in person. Review service and condition records for a used example. These checks are more useful than inferring trailer performance or daily comfort from an unsupported score.
