What is the towing capacity of a 2 wheel drive 1998 ford f150?

The towing capacity of a 1998 Ford F-150 2WD depends heavily on the engine and specific configuration (payload package, etc.). There's no single answer. To find the exact towing capacity for *your* specific truck, you need to:

* Check the sticker: Look for the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb. This sticker will list the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating - front and rear), and the payload capacity. The towing capacity will *likely* also be listed, but if not...

* Consult your owner's manual: Your owner's manual should have a section specifying towing capacities for various configurations of your truck. This is the most reliable source.

Without knowing the engine size and specific options of your 1998 F-150, I cannot provide a reliable towing capacity figure. Estimates found online will be unreliable and possibly unsafe. Always defer to the information provided on the vehicle's sticker and owner's manual.
