I was hoping to get some info. It's been 6 years since i drove a truck, and that was dad's 1997 F-150 Lariat.

I just bought a used 1998 F250 Super Crew and it didn't come with the owner's manual. While I am versed in engines, spark plugs, etc, etc, I have no idea what are the capacities of this truck.

It's a 2 door (3rd half door), 5.4L, Triton V8 Automatic, seats 6.

Any idea if it's 1/2 or 3/4 ton?
Maximum Tow Capacity for Travel Trailer?
Maximum Tongue Weight of Travel Trailer?
Gas Tank Size?

Any other tidbits you guys might have concerning this truck would be great.

Thanks.

 

It's A 3/4 Ton Truck. Don't Know Weight Capacity, Probabley Around 10,000 To 12,000. Gas Tank Is Probably Around 35 To 40gals.

 

I have a 97 f250 ld w. 5.4 also my manual states:
25 gal tank unlesss long wheelbase 30 gal
max trailer weight 6,800lbs (3.31 gears)or 8,300 (3.73 gears)
max GCWR 12,000 or 13,500lbs
All for 4x4 Auto

The truck isn't a supercrew... it's a super cab. The super crew has four full sized doors that open in a conventional manner. The super cab has the rear suicide door(s).

The F250 of this era (looks like a 150) is called the LD, or Light Duty as it was made for the the under 8500lb GVWR segment F250. Technically 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton are no longer valid terms in the modern truck market after 1980. In this case a person could have a payload of over 1 ton in an F250LD regular cab with 3.73s and a 5.4.

I do have some info on the LDs, but in essence the type of truck that the LD was later became the F150 7700 of 2000-2004...

If you go to kspilkinton.clubfte.com and click on the what is a 7700 page, I am working on with a brief history of these trucks with some facts about them. I don't have the pictures working and some info is missing, but it'll give you a heads up.
