We’ve put away the tinsel and we’ve put up our finest aluminum pole.
Festivus dinner was served, and the Airing of Grievances was brief but passionate. Now there remains but one final Festivus tradition…
The Feats of Strength (Stop Crying and Fight your Father)
The Costanza family suffered years of hardship for their beliefs; they were driven out of Bayside, but out of their toil a tradition was born – A Festivus for the rest of us.
Now the gang at Gary Crossley Ford is honoring Festivus traditions this December 23rd. Please feel free to swing by and air any grievances you might have, but we’ve done the Feats of Strength research so you don’t have to.
Gary Crossley Ford Cars & SUVs with the Highest Towing Capacity
First things first. If you’re looking for the Ford car with the highest towing capacity, you don’t have to look far. We only sell the one.
The Ford Mustang is sleek, sexy, and strong enough to turn heads wherever it goes, but a lean, meaning, towing machine it is not. A properly equipped Mustang has a tow rating of up to 1,000 pounds. This means you can tow a canoe or a kayak, maybe even a small Jet-ski or jon boat.
The competition gets stiffer among the Ford SUVs on the Gary Crossley Ford Lot.
- Ford Bronco Sport – up to 2,200 pounds towing capacity
- Ford Escape – up to 3,500 pounds towing capacity
- Ford Edge – up to 3,500 pounds towing capacity
- Ford Bronco – up to 4,500 pounds towing capacity
- Ford Explorer – up to 5,600 pounds towing capacity
But the clear Feats of Strength champion in the SUV department is the big, big brother. The Ford Expedition can be equipped to pull up to 9,300 pounds. You can hook it up with confidence in front of trailers of all kinds from RV & travel trailers, boats, utility trailers, and even livestock trailers.
The Highest Tow-Rated Ford Trucks at Gary Crossley Ford
The Expedition is plenty strong for an SUV, but for the Feats of Strength finale, we have to start talking about Ford trucks. Strong doesn’t even begin to cover it
- Ford Maverick – up to 4,000 pounds towing capacity
- Ford Ranger – up to 7,500 pounds towing capacity
- Ford Lightning – up to 10,000 pounds towing capacity
- Ford F-150 – up to 11,300 pounds towing capacity
Ford trucks can pull just about anything you can think of that needs pulling: boats, trailers, cars, other trucks, machinery. They’re pretty as a picture, but they’re built for work, every single one of them.
But only one Ford truck can be the true Feats of Strength champion.
37,000 Pounds – It’s a Festivus Miracle
The Ford F-450 Super Duty is strongest, towingest, hard-workingest truck in the country. Period. Pure American muscle and steel.
With a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer, the Super Duty can pull up to 37,000 pounds. That’s the official number; in the back alleys and dark corners of the internet, storytellers whisper of Super Duties pulling up to 40,000 pounds. 20 tons.
If you could somehow get yourself a full-grown 40-foot-long whale shark and then somehow get said whale shark on a trailer, your Super Duty could pull it
Experience The Crossley Difference
No matter what holiday you celebrate this year, rest assured that at Gary Crossley Ford we won’t be forgoing a Christmas tree for an “unadorned aluminum pole” but we do wish you all a Happy “Festivus for the Rest of us.”
