GVWR of 2000 F-450

Truck in question is a CC F-450 with a 6-speed, 4x4, and a Western Hauler flatbed.

Should have 4.88's in it - I will know early tomorrow.

The company is considering purchasing this truck and I don't want to spend 2 hrs on the road and checking this thing from stem to stern if it won't fit our needs.

Re: GVWR of 2000 F-450

It's going to vary by what springs were ordered. There should be a label on the door jamb or just inside the truck on the back wall that gives the specs.

Looks like 15 - 16K is the norm. Keep in mind that GVWR is just what the truck axles can carry. The amount you can tow will be higher, looks like combined weight rating will be somewhere around 26K, of course you want to stay below that since above 26K takes you into CDL range.

[/ QUOTE ]Correct. You can find the GVWR and the Axle rating on the B pillar tag.

haul_n_haorses2,

Those weights are correct for your truck, a F350. But I do believe Mr Robotos reply is correct since the OP was asking about a F450. The online specs back him up.

You are correct for some reason I thought it was a 3/4 ton he was asking about.

Haul_N, you should probably edit your post there to avoid confusion......
