According to the chart, fifth wheel towing for the F350 DRW 6.0 3.73
4WD is 15600 with a GCWR of 23500. That rating is based on a "new truck with new equipment". Years of use will decrease the maximum capacity on the suspension, brakes, transmission and rear axle "internals" as well as the comfort of the seat base cushion.... |
OK. Just for the sake of argument, how can a Super Duty carry a heavier truck camper with a diesel engine than a 5.4L gas? And for what it is worth the brakes, suspension and seat base on my truck are at least as good as new with new components as well as the tires are rated higher. The transmission and rear axle have been serviced within the last two years with full flush of both. Chart says I can drag 15,500 lbs on page 17 and I don't think I want to even try.
