Question F550 pulling capacity?

Howdy,

Doe's anyone know what the towing capacity of a F550 is?
I'm looking at getting one with a 19000LB GVWR, and 6 spd. manual with a 4.88 axle. Also at 70 mph what would the tach be reading?


Thanks

F550 pulling capacity?

Here's a link to the towing spec's for Superduty's. It lists the maximum trailer weights.

To find rpm for speed, you'll need to find out the diameter of the tires. Then you can use this forumula:

(RPM X Tire Diameter) = MPH
(Axle ratio X 336)
