Those high performance engines often aren't made to tow anything, especially if they are blown.

The Ford Eco V6 is made to tow, their high performance pickups have lower tow ratings despite more hp and torque.

The Raptor is rated at 8,200 lbs, which is pretty decent.  The base F-150s are rated over 10,000 lbs.

The maximum towing capacity for the 2024 Ford F-150 is 13,500 pounds. That capacity is only unlocked if you choose the optional 400-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. Going with the venerable 5.0-liter V-8 means the maximum towing capacity is 13,000 pounds; the hybrid model can tow up to 12,700.

Those are, to me, impressive figures, and I know other light trucks can do even better, usually based on the 2500 chassis.  I dimly recall some Dodge rated at 35,000 lbs????

That said, I have also read these ratings are a bit wonky and can be, um, massaged.
