However, the Owner's Guide does not include specs for the diesel engine. For that, you need the diesel supplement to the Owner's Guide. And the diesel supplement for a '96 is not avilable on TheDieselStop - as far as I know.

Is the GCWR the same on a DRW 350? Same year?
[/ QUOTE ]
For '99 through '04 PSDs, all F-250, F-350 SRW, and F-350 DRWs have the same 20k GCWR.
For '97 PSDs (and I assume also for '95 and '96 models), With a 4.10 rear end all F-250, F-350 SRW, and F-350 DRWs have the same 20k GCWR. And with a 3.55 rear end, they all have 16k GCWR.
But only the DRW can actually tow a gooseneck or 5er trailer with a combined gross of 20k without exceeding the GVWR of the tow vehicle. Example numbers:
'99 - '04 F-250 CrewCab longbed 4x4 weighs 7,300 wet but empty. Add 700 pounds of driver, passenger, tools, hitch, etc., and it weighs 8,000 pounds before you tie onto the trailer. The GVWR is only 8,800 pounds, so that leaves 800 pounds for max hitch weight before you exceed the GVWR of the tow vehicle. With 17 percent hitch weight, that translates to a 5er grossing 4,706 pounds. That's not much of a 5er. And it's only 12,706 pounds GCW - nowhere near the 20k GCWR.
'99 - '04 F-350 SRW CrewCab longbed 4x4 weighs 7,300 wet but empty. Add 700 pounds of driver, passenger, tools, hitch, etc., and it weighs 8,000 pounds before you tie onto the trailer. The GVWR of the 49-state model is only 9,900 pounds, so that leaves 1,900 pounds for max hitch weight before you exceed the GVWR of the tow vehicle. With 17 percent hitch weight, that translates to a 5er grossing 11,176 pounds. That's more like it - with a GCW of 19,176. But still no 20k.
'99 - '04 F-350 DRW CrewCab longbed 4x4 weighs 7,700 wet but empty. Add 700 pounds of driver, passenger, tools, hitch, etc., and it weighs 8,400 pounds before you tie onto the trailer. The GVWR of the 49-state model is 11,200 pounds, so that leaves 2,800 pounds for max hitch weight before you exceed the GVWR of the tow vehicle. So GVWR is not the limiter on the DRW - the GCWR is. 20k minus 8,400 weight of the tow vehicle leaves a max trailer weight of 11,600 pounds, and a GCW of exactly 20,000 pounds.
The numbers changed a lot with the 2005 models. But we'll leave that for a rainy day. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img]
