I am having a b*tch of a time trying to figure out what my 2009 F150 Supercrew 4x4, with Max Tow, can tow when it comes to a 5th wheel trailer. Typically, half tons are not 5'er friendly, so no debate there required.
I have max tow- I paid for it. It "increases the trailer towing ability to 11,200 pounds". The GCWR increased to 17,100.
The door sticker shows GAWR (front) 3900, rear 4000, and GVW of 7200. (you'd think it would be closer to 3900+4000 = 7900!). The sticker also shows max cargo = 1038.
Buddy with a 2009 Lariat, no Max Tow, has the same ratings, but his cargo is 1280, more than mine.
I am trying to figure out if the max Tow increased by cargo, GAWR (r), and GVW as it did increase the tow (pulling) rating, and the GCWR over non max-tow optioned trucks.
I have 3 different Ford sites with 3 different weight ratings, ranging from 1200 cargo, to 1500 to 1975. Ford syas it will take 6-8 weeks for a reply, I cannot wait that long for something that should be easily published....
ARGH!
