Best Answer

The amount you can tow will depend on the hitch. You probably have a Class III hitch since it has a 2" receiver. The hitch manufacturer will include a rating on the hitch. Most Class III hitches are rated for towing 5000 pounds. They also are rated for putting 500 pounds of downward pressure on the trailer tongue. If you want greater towing capacity, you can add a weight distribution system to the hitch and it will increase you towing capacity by at least 50%. Check the documentation with your hitch to determine the exact towing capacity of your hitch.

When properly equipped, a 2002 F250 7.3L powerstroke is tow rated up to 12,500 lbs, if you add a fifth wheel hitch it can tow 14,500 lbs. However I own a 2002 F250 7.3L Powerstroke with a 6 speed manual, 3.73 rear end, crew cab, short bed and I tow over 25,000 lbs from the bumper hitch 4+ times a week. I have even towed a 39,000 lb trailer from Utah to Mexico City (also from the bumper hitch).

What is the Towing capacity 1995 Ford Thunderbird V8?

Read the owners manual. My 97 with the 4.6 liter V8 has a 2000 lb tow load and a 175 pound hitch weight. I would assume that with electric trailer brakes the tow weight could be more up to 2500 lbs and with a class II hitch of 3500 lb. capacity one could increase this to 250 lbs. for good towing. I would add a equalizing weight hitch and sway bars for anything towed that is 2000 lbs. or more. Semis and tornados have a definite effect on sway.
