Straight from the TT guide 97, 13,400# 4.10, 9,400# 3.55.

GCWR is 16,000/20,000

Mine truck comes in at 14,000 w/ 4.10's

These #'s are 5th ONLY, not tag along which is much lower.

mcavaselis -- Is this what you're looking for?

Ford F-Series Fifth-Wheel Trailer Towing Selector

It's from the 1995 Ford Recreation Vechicle and Trailer Towing Guide but I don't think the ratings changed much, if any.
