For many truck buyers in Ontario, towing capacity isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether it's hauling a large camper, a boat, a horse trailer, or heavy construction equipment, the ability to tow 10,000 pounds or more is critical. Fortunately, the 2025 model year brings a wide range of capable trucks to the market, including half-ton pickups with specialized engines and heavy-duty models that can far exceed that threshold.
This guide provides a detailed look at the new 2025 trucks currently on sale in Ontario that are rated to tow more than 10,000 pounds. It also outlines the exact engines within each model lineup that allow owners to reach or exceed that capacity using Canadian specifications.
The 2025 Silverado 1500 can tow over 10,000 pounds when equipped with the right engine and towing package. Not every Silverado 1500 can meet that mark, but select versions offer impressive capabilities.
Buyers looking at the Silverado 1500 for heavy towing should prioritize trims like the LTZ or High Country with the Max Trailering Package and one of the two engines above.
The Silverado HD lineup includes the 2500HD and 3500HD, both of which easily exceed 10,000 pounds of towing capacity regardless of configuration.
All trims in the Silverado HD lineup—including WT, LT, LTZ, and High Country—can be configured to tow well over 10,000 pounds, depending on equipment.
The GMC Sierra 1500 mirrors the Silverado 1500 in structure and engine offerings.
The Sierra 1500 AT4, SLT, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims offer configurations optimized for heavy towing with either engine.
Like its Chevrolet sibling, the 2025 Sierra HD offers towing figures well beyond the 10,000-pound threshold in every configuration.
These capabilities are available in trims ranging from the SLE to the luxurious Denali Ultimate, depending on trailer type and hitch.
The Ford F-150 continues to be Canada’s best-selling truck, and it can also be a strong towing platform when properly equipped.
The F-150’s top towing configurations are generally found in the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum trims equipped with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Ford’s Super Duty models are among the most powerful towing machines available.
Every Super Duty configuration exceeds the 10,000-pound mark, making it an easy choice for serious towing needs.
As an all-electric truck, the F-150 Lightning offers compelling torque and silent towing capability.
Only versions with the extended-range battery and Max Trailer Tow Package qualify, making the Lariat ER the optimal choice for electric towing.
The Silverado EV will enter production in several trims with dual-motor setups and varying tow ratings.
For now, the Silverado EV RST and WT offer conventional half-ton truck towing abilities with zero emissions.
Sharing the Silverado EV’s platform, the GMC Sierra EV will offer similar capacities.
As of now, buyers looking to tow 10,000 pounds or more with an EV may need to wait for upcoming Sierra EV variants.
The Tundra comes standard with a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 and offers an available hybrid version called i-FORCE MAX. Both engines provide strong towing capabilities.
SR5, Limited, Platinum, and TRD Pro trims with the proper tow equipment all qualify, making the Tundra a well-rounded option.
The 2025 Ram 1500 was redesigned this year and with this new model came a brand-new lineup of high-performance 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 engines. These new powertrains deliver the towing capability you are looking for.
Top towing configurations are found in trims like Big Horn and Laramie with the Trailer Tow Group and 4WD.
Ram’s heavy-duty lineup is purpose-built for towing large loads.
Even the base Tradesman trims in this lineup are capable of pulling over 10,000 pounds, making the Ram HD a top-tier towing solution.
Whether you’re towing a heavy RV, a multi-axle trailer, or industrial equipment, there is no shortage of 2025 trucks available in Ontario that can exceed 10,000 pounds of towing capacity. However, achieving these numbers requires selecting the right engine, drivetrain, and tow package within each model. From the electric F-150 Lightning to the diesel-powered Ram 3500, there’s a truck on the market tailored to your towing requirements—backed by the specs and powertrain options to do the job confidently and safely.
