| Ford F-Series Fifth-Wheel Trailer Towing Selector |
Courtesy of: 1995 Ford Recreation Vechicle and Trailer Towing Guide
The biggest RV towing jobs can be handled by a Fifth-Wheel F-Series model - 12,500-lb. trailer weight and 20,000-lb GCWR for a pickup and up to 26,000-lb. GCWR for the F-Super Duty Chassis Cab.
Use the appropriate chart to determine which model and powertrain combination best meets your towing needs:
- Select automatic or manual transmission section
- Determine which cab design you prefer
- Find the column for the truck series and drive system (4x2 or 4x4) you want.
- Read down that column to find the maximum loaded trailer weight that can be towed with the engine/axle ratio combination listed at left. (If you live in California, Massachusetts or a High Altitude area, check with your Ford Dealership to be sure the desired powertrain/axle ratio is available in your area.)
- The GCWR column shows the maximum allowable combined weight of vehicle, trailer and cargo (including passengers) for this engine/axle ratio combination.
- Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight assumes towing vehicle with mandatory options, no cargo and driver (150-lb.) only. Weight of additional options, passengers and cargo must be deducted from this weight.
- Be sure to also check the Required/Recommended Equipment charts on page 18.
