Factory rating
Does anyone know if there was any actual rating for trailer towing capacity on these OBS trucks. Like a 5th wheel rating.
I have seen the conventional bumper pull ratings but have not seen any 5thwheel/goosneck ratings
Specifically looking for a 95 F-Superduty 5.13s 5 speed 161" wheel base

I stopped reading all the discussions on this topic but the sticky here will give you some info. I get tired of the guys telling me I don't have enough pickup.

But those numbers aren’t for a f-superdity. The 5.13s, bigger axles, and better brakes make them a higher rating than just a 350.

Agreed. I can find info for the pickups in the owners manual. Nothing on the f-superduty

I found the same ones that Adam and Mike found. I don’ t know why this is so hard to find. 12.5 seems low for the truck. I wonder if, at the time, the gross weight had to stay under a certain weight be able to drive without a commercial license requirement.
Was it Nate that bought one awhile back? Maybe he can check his door tag and see what it says?

Door tag only states GVW. The GCWR is never listed

Not so sure how much I trust that page.
It says a f350 crewcab 2wd dually diesel 4.10s can only tow 10,000lbs
but the ford owners manual says it can tow 13,800
