F350 Towing Capacity Help
Hello,
I am reading the towing selector on the F350 of mine and I would like someone's help that knows more than me. My truck has an 11,500 GVRW Package. The towing selector has 2 towing weights listed for my truck, one with a (4) next to it which designates it needs the optional 10,000 GVWR package and the other with no 4 next to it. The first GCWR for the one with the (4) is 21,600 and the one without the (4) is 28,700.
Is it safe to assume that my truck, since it doesn't have the (4) 10,000 GVWR package, and it has the 11,500 GVWR package, is the one that has the GCWR of 28,700# GCWR and the max loaded trailer weight of 20,600#?
This is the guide I'm looking at https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/d...VTTowGuide.pdf
Also, I went to the cat scales and weighed my entire rig and here are the results:
I will be taking the truck itself on Friday as the place was jammed and I had nowhere to unhitch and weight the truck at that time. But based off my door stickers, I'm under the weights for the axels. Thanks, in advance to anyone who can help identify what weights my truck goes by.
It's a 2018 F350 Diesel Platinum with 20" tires, 4x4, 6 3/4 box. 3.55 Rear and 11,500 GVWR Package.Last edited by EddieK82; 06-23-2021 at 03:01 AM.

I've got a similar truck and here's the "truck only" weight ticket. My yellow sticker in the door shows a payload capacity of #3368 .2019 Solitude 310GK

Hey imo if you are under it is good to go
But I know quite a few on this forum if I was that close to my GVWR on my half ton they would say I am a danger on the road and risking lives
We will see if they come and say the same to a “maxed out” 1 ton
I am guessing they won’t

I have a 100lb generator in the front storage and the washer and dryer, plus the hitch in the bed of course. That stuff right there is over 600lbs roughly on the payload. I'll have to move some stuff to the back of the rig when we tow, that will help a lot. If you look at what we have, it's really not that many things. It's about the same as we had in our 2670MK minus the W/D but this rig is much heavier of course. I am already working on cutting down some small things that way 5-10lbs each that we really don't need.
I'm hoping with a combination of moving things to the back when towing and removing about 200lbs of extras will help. My truck is capable enough to tow 20K pounds based off the ford guide, but the payload is the issue, as always. Thanks for the help. I'll put up another weigh ticket once I do all that just to show the difference, if there is one.
Towing down here the truck pulled it like it "wasn't even there". I half forgot we had it attached at times. Even up hills and down hills, it was great.Ed & Kaitlin
