Tow rating
What's the tow rating for my truck? It's an 86 f250 standard cab longbed 2wd, 351ho 4v, 4spd, 4.10s. I don't know if there's a gooseneck or 5th wheel tow rating for this truck but I figured I see what I could find

Remember that, with fifth wheels and goosenecks, it's not so much about max tow rating - payload is all-important. Use 23% of a fifth wheel RVs GVWR to calculate an estimated loaded pin weight.
