Tow capacity

If I am reading this chart correctly, the maximum load I can haul (trailer and contents on trailer) is 12,500 lbs?
Truck is a 4x4 w/ 176" wheelbase. 6.7l, and 3.31 rear end.

That's only if your truck has the 68 D 9900 GVWR package. It's basing your max tow weight on a 10% tongue weight for payload purposes, to keep you under the "paper" legal limit of 9900 GVWR, if that makes sense.

It doesn't. Can you elaborate?
Truck was registered as a 9900 GVWR package, that I know.

So your truck is rated for the line below. 13,200. Can’t speak about the 9,900 registration.

Based on the graph you posted. Line you highlighted has the 9900 package footnote. Your door jam sticker states 10,000. Can you share a picture of your trucks rear differential cover? Axle code 31 might mean you have the Dana rear which you be the heavy capacity tow package.

Id have to take it tomorrow. I dont think I have the Heavy Cap tow package. The hitch is only 2.5"..
What would the differential cover look like for standard package VS heavy tow package?

The HCTP comes with the Dana 275 which rear diff cover has a fill plug on it. The Ford Sterling does not. Its fill plug is on the side of the diff housing.

So it'll be either on the passenger or driver side of the rear differential?

Just look at the rear cover.

The rear axle code of 31 just means 3.31, non-limited slip/locker.
