Sorry but I'm not really good with math. Are you guys saying that a brand new F-250 6.7 can only legally tow an 5'ver that weighs about 10K lbs? How do I figure out how much my rear axle weighs?
legal load issues with your truck will be the lessor of wheel/tire load numbers......and maybe some type of gross weight registration required in some states when you buy your tag. Some state like mine have no registered weight. Just a fee based on a price number/vehicle age/etc.
As you see some RV folks like to use the vehicles GVWR.....others use the yellow tire placard payload number....some use a number calculated by a GCWR number. Non are a legal load limit.
No one knows your trucks actual axle weight numbers but we can get you close. You need to weigh your trucks front and rear axles.
Many 250/2500 trucks can weigh around 3000 lbs on the rear axle leaving the truck with around 3200 lbs for a payload. The more "junk" we carry in the truck the less payload the truck will have. These are a estimate just to show you how simple the math is once you have real world numbers from the scales.
And of course the F250 has the same drive train/frame/front and rear axles as the F350 SRW so tow rating are the same.
Main differences can be the 350 SRW has higher rated rear suspension/wheels and tire. Now if your F250 has the heavy service package its the same as the 350 SRW.
