I just bought an '06 F-350. It has the factory hitch, and brake control system.

What is the rating of the factory hitch on this truck?

Thanks,
Jay

 

Look on your door jamb sticker.

 

on the reciever or the bumper?

Reciever's all came with 12.5K standard.

 

I'll have to look again. All I saw on it, weight was, was GVW (11,200), and front and rear axle weights, but no GCVW (gross combined vehicle weight).

I have found on many online sources that the F-350 is good for 12,500 lbs towing with the 6.0L and 3.73 that I have, but my question was directed at the actual hitch. A friend of mine bought a Dodge 2500 w/ Cummins, and although the truck is rated to tow 12,800, the hitch that was bolted on (I think it was a factory hitch, but not 100% source) was only a class III (5,000 lbs). He put a class IV on (his boat weighs about 10,000).

Thanks,
Jay

 

When it left the factory the load rating was on the hitch. It wasn't on the door jamb sticker.

 

Reciever. Thanks for the info, that is what I was looking for.

Unless it was scraped off there should be a sticker there with the information.

 

That's 12.5k with weight distributing hitch, 6k without.
