SOS Towing question

. Our '15 f-250 6.7L has a payload capacity of 2200#. We are well within our limits as of now with the TT. However, if we would go the 5th wheel route,

That payload seems unusually low for a 15 F-250. The towing guide from Trailer Life shows fiver ratings of at least 15,000# for any cab/bed configuration. Pin weight alone would be about 3,000 pounds.

got the number from the yellow sticker inside the door. Actually i think it was 2180. We also have a '15 Platinum and the yellow sticker on it shows 19## something.

What is the exact truck you have?

What was quoted above is wrong.. All ford trucks are rated from 12500 lbs for conventional towing to 16600 ilbs for fifth wheel towing.. It all depends on the truck body style and rear gear ratio..


With that said yoyr best bet is too ...

1. Get the truck weighed at cat scale. Full tank of gas and passengers/payload. Get individual axle weights front and back.
2. Take the yellow door tag RAWR and subtract it from the rear catscale weight. That will give you your payload.
3. Post your tires max psi and weight limit from side wall.
4. Find out what rear axle ratio you have

This will tell you what you you can tow... Without this info everyone is guessing...
