3. If you plan on doing a toad, the 2014 and later E-450 bumped up to 7,500 lbs tow rating. May not matter but my preferred toad will likely be right at 5,000 so I have a little slack.
Just to clarify that statement a little. Ford has been giving the E450 a 7,500# tow rating since the 2011 model year. They increased the GCWR from 20,000# to 22,000#. The GVWR was already at 14,500# (since 2008 I believe) resulting in the fairly new 7,500# rating. It's only been much more recently, that some Class C manufacturers are rating their products to tow what Ford rates them at.
Thanks! Good clarification for me and others. 2014 is where I was seeing it show up in specs.
