15,000 lbs Max trailer loaded weight (conventional trailer)
20,800 lbs max gooseneck towing (with either 18” or 20 tires and Gooseneck)
18,000 lbs Max with 5th wheel towing

Look at your white door sticker and your Rear GAWR (axle rating) should be 7230 lbs
Your Front axle rating will be anything from 5200, 5600 or 5990 lbs depending on if you have standard, HD or snow plow springs

From https://www.fleet.ford.com/resources...e_r2_Dec21.pdf




Is the 18,000# 5th wheel weight rating the limit of the prep package or is the the limit of the 18k hitch that Ford supplies if you order their hitch? Just wondering if you can go higher if your hitch is rated higher.

The F-350 DRW and F-450's have a much higher 5th wheel weight rating and I can't help but believe they use the same puck system.

Its the limit of the 18k hitch. With the way that most 5th wheels are manufactured (pin heavy) you can't really do a 18k 5th wheel on a SRW truck anyway, not enough payload.
