Ok, here is a topic to discuss...
I have a 2011 f250 crew cab lariat, 6.7l diesel, factory e rated michilens, rated at 3750# per tire at 80 psi cold.
According to ford tow guide, the truck will tow a 14,500 5th, although the way ford "dashes out" the tow guide it is certainly convoluted at best.
Now, though it states a 14,5k rating, my PAYLOAD rating maxes at 2049 lbs. Now, getting past the incredibly disappointing bs of that low number, these two numbers simply don't jive.
Explain please. And how is the tire rating at 2049 for payload when side walls read 3750 per?? Is it because the manufacturer recommends running at 65 instead of 80?
