Some guys posted up a number of spec sheets from the Denver Ford event this week over on FTE.

The 2017 F-350 SRW 4x4 crew cab has a GCWR of 28,700 lbs and a max GN towing capability of 20,200 lbs.

The best numbers I could find for a Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 crew cab was 17,100 lbs.

3,100 lb towing difference for a SRW is pretty impressive. Looks like Ford is in the lead now.

The 2017 F-350 Dually 4x4 crew cab has a GCWR of 40,000 lbs and a max GN towing capability of 31,000 lbs.

The best numbers I could find for a Ram 3500 Dually 4x4 crew cab was 30,300.

Slightly edges out Ram by 700 lbs, but it puts Ford in the lead until Ram ups the ante.

You do have to keep in mind that you are still comparing apples to oranges. You will need to wait until Ram and GM come out with their 2017 numbers before the king of weight can be crowned.

I would love to see these manufactures quit upping the hp and give these trucks 18 gears and a 1000 lbft of torque. I predict a 2 speed rear end for the future. They are going to start having a hard time keeping the differentials cool in these trucks if they keep on. At some point they are going to have to do something the the rear gearing to help. This it truly the only reason the SRW trucks have such a low tow rating compared to the DRW trucks. The are limited to the high rear gear ratios.
