Rear Gawr 3300 is that it?
:) Hi, that number seems awfully low. My truck's rear axle is 4050 lbs. I think maybe yours is actually 3800 lbs ??????
I just did a search and 3300 lbs and 3800 lbs were used on those trucks. So you're probably right.
That most likely is a byproduct of the 2.7L lower GVWR/Payload ratings.
BY comparison my 2010 and 2012 F150 configured just like my 2016 F150 both had 3750 lbs Front axle ratings and 3850 lbs Rear axle ratings. My 2010 weighed 5770 lbs and 2012 weighed 5768 lbs.
My 2016 weighs only 5110 lbs and has a front axle rating of 3450 lbs and rear axle rating of 3800 lbs. That's equivalent to axle ratings of my 2012 and 2010 F150 of a front axle rating of 3780 lbs and a rear axle rating of 4130 lbs using a 50%/50% ratio of vehicle weight.
Thanks for the weight info, I hadn't thought that Ford might reduce axle ratings when the truck was lightened. It makes a ton of sense to reduce unnecessary unsprug weight and specifically rotating mass if they could though.
