asking much.. and NOT one has final drive numbers.. a MUST for towing information.

I guess you are going to be making a lot of phone calls.
the numbers are Needed.. if you want TRUE numbers..
also remember body Trim levels make a difference in Towing ability...
the lower trim levels can tow more... "XL" tows the most.. and 4x4 tows the lowest, with drive lines being the same.
and WHAT is a 7.5 GAS.???? sounds like an error....

1990 owners manual - manual transmission is LESS than automatic in most cases.
7.5 l MANUAL with proper towing options (max tow options)
3.55 rear - 11.5 GCWR
4.10 rear - 16k GCWR
4.63 rear - 22k GCWR
7.5l with AUTOMATiC (max tow options)
3.55 rear - 15k GCWR
4.10 rear - 18.5 GCWR
4.63 rear - 22k GCWR
5.13 rear - 26k GCWR
Right from the owners manual dated JUNE 1989. Yes manual are rated less, at least as recommended from Ford, and yes there is no absolute trailer weight rating, ONLY a maximum combined weight rating, actual trailer weight rating is dependent on truck weight - IE load in truck, wither reg cab, extended or crew and if 2wd or 4wd. A crew cab 4wd with PASSANGERS will tow the LEAST.

diesel towing - same June 1989 owners manual
Manual transmissions - as equipped with max tow
3.55 12k GCWR
4.10 14k GCWR
5.13 17k GCWR
Automatic
3.55 12k GCWR
4.10 14k GCWR
Nice thing about the diesel is you do not punish yourself in the GCWR by choosing a manual tranny, only your shoulder and knee/ankle will suffer.......
As a long term CDL holder who has had one surgery from manual transmissions and there repetitive mindless movements better suited to a automaton, I can speak from authority on sucky medium duty manuals with there totally un ergonomic long shift throws coupled with overy long clutch throws!
