Towing specs for 1992 F-350
Considering the purchase of a 1992 F-350 CC, LB, 2WD, 460ci, OD trans.
I am not sure if the rear end is a 4.10 or higher (3.73). Owner seems to believe it is the latter, due to getting 11-12 mpg unloaded on everyday type driving. I checked the VIN decoder on this site and it indicates having a 4.10.
A couple of questions....
1. How can I determine axle ratio? Is there a code on door jamb weight sticker, a tag on axle, etc?
2. What are the towing specs of this truck, including payload, GVWR and GCVWR? Obviously this is based on axle ratio, so we'll have to go with 4.10 and the next one higher if one was available.
I ask these questions as I would like to know my weight limitations when searching for 5th wheel or travel trailer to purchase.
Thanks!
