Good thing I checked the sidebar to see what the latest trends were. You were much more thorough that I was planning to be, by the way. Thanks for the share.

Zodd Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 This is cool. However, I wish they would do this outside a login so you take any VIN (like when shopping for a truck) and easily get the real numbers. Ram has this and it is really nice (even if they do seem to have a bug in it right now) Todd & Kat 2023 LE ll twin, hull # 1305, Truma AC & WH, Platinum solar, Natures Head 2024 Ford F250 Lariat 7.3L gasser / 3.75, FX4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGuy Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 So interesting that max trailer weight is different than sticker on my truck. Payload is correct but max towing is a bit less. Now I’d never get near the sticker or calculator but thought it is interesting that it is different. I have read on some Superduty forums that some of differences are significant and folks are rightly upset if Ford is changing specs after they sold a truck. I am guessing maybe calculator needs some work otherwise expect lawsuits if they sold a truck rated for 20k lbs of towing that now says 15k lbs. 2021 Legacy Elite II Hull #807 - 2021 F150 w/ 3.5L EB and max tow package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mo Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I might be missing something but I don't see the calculator on my Ford page. It must be for trucks newer than mine.
