So am confused WHICH F150 you are talking about...

Is it the 6,xxx GVWR ones...

Is it the 6,xxx GVWR ones...

Is it the 7,xxx GVWR ones...

Or the fake one with the 8,xxx GVWR?

What is the RGAWR of the one referenced in the quote below?

On that...how many RGAWR's does all of these F150's potentially
come with?

PS...I did help a guy who burned up his F150's rear diff because
he listened to advice here on this portal...that 'sure you can, I've
been doing it for a long time with my F150'...but the advisers
F150 is the fake half ton with the ~6K RGAWR and the poor guy
who followed his advice had a regular F150 with an ~4K RGAWR...

THAT is my point...which 'half ton' are you talking about...out of
the approx 14 different F150's someone once posted are listed by
this OEM...

PPS...the difference between the adviser and poor soul who took
his advise is just under 2,000 lbs in RGAWR...

You make it sound like like Ford has a dozen different axles it uses on the F150. The difference between a HD 8200 GVWR and a 7200GVWR standard tow on a 4x4 screw eco are the stiffer springs, HD shocks, 7 lug wheels and e-rated tires, yet it affects both AWR's and payload by 1,000lbs. Affect handling? Sure. But people aren't destroying axles because they're F150 has a lower RAWR. It's the same flippin axle.

LOL! :B

Now days marketing plays games with the numbers so bad, I looked about a year ago and found the F150 had like 12 to 15 different GVWR!! Every little tweak changed the GVWR by about 50#.

Go back 15 years my 2500 Ram came with two different axles a Dana 70 or and 80, both with a GAWR of 6,084 and a GVWR of 8,800#, Mine came with the camper Package. It included 3500 springs and rear sway bar, and larger 265/75-16E tires with a weight rating of 3,415# compared to stock 245/75-16 E at 3'042#. Do you think either the GRAWR or the GVWR changed for these additions, nope sams as without.
