2017 GUIDE to TOWING Trailer Life mag insert
I found this interesting:
Taking the Trailer Life "Guide to Towing" I wanted to compare compatible Single Rear Wheel vs. Dual Rear Wheel towing vehicle. In order to try and maintain the integrity of the comparison I elected to use the Ford SuperDuty F series only.
GUIDE TO TOWING 2017
GAS WHEEL RATIO 5TH TRAILER
F-250 SuperCab Long Box, 4WD 6.2L V8 single 4.30:1 15,500 15,000
F-350 SuperCab Long Box, 4WD 6.2L V8 single 4.30:1 15,800 15,000
F-350 SuperCab Long Box, 4WD 6.2L V8 dual 4.30:1 15,800 15,800
F-250 SuperCab Long Box, 4WD 6.2L V8 single 3.73:1 12,500 12,500
F-350 SuperCab Long Box, 4WD 6.2L V8 single 3.73:1 12,300 12,300
F-350 SuperCab Long Box, 4WD 6.2L V8 dual 3.73:1 12,300 12,300
Hummm who would have guessed? :h
ps: SORRY THE COLUMNS TITLES DO NOT LINE UP ON THE POST.
6.2 = GAS
SINGLE/DUAL = REAR WHEELS
4:30/3.73 = REAR AXLE RATIO
SECOND LAST COLUMN = 5TH WHEEL TRAILER TOWING
LAST COLUMN = CONVENTIONAL TRAILER TOWING.
