Help With Decode and Towing Capacity...
Hello FTE's,
I am located in Melbourne, Australia.
Recently I purchased A USA - Left Hand Drive 1990 Ford F350 Super Cab Long Box Dually Truck with A 460 Gas V8 and C6 Transmission and 4:10 Rear Axle Ratio.
My VIN is 1FTJX35G4LK07892,,, can someone please Decode this for Me ???
I am wanting to understand what The Bumper Pull Towing Capacity is ???, and also what The 5th Wheeler Towing Capacity is for My Truck ???
I'm looking forward to Your replies.
Cheers and Best Regards

Ford made no distinction between bumper pull and 5th wheel back then, and the tow ratings were found in the owners manual. The GCWR for that powertrain combo is 18.5k lbs, the max trailer weight will be that minus the ready to travel curb weight of the truck.

That is for the US I assume? I would not be surprised if it would be different in Australia.

1FT — Ford Motor Company, USA, truck, completed vehicle
J - 9,001-10,000 pounds GVWR
X35 - 2WD SuperCab
G - 7.5-liter EFI
4 - check digit
L - 1990
K - Lorain, Ohio plant (I think)
Next 6 digits are the manufacturing sequence number
According to a 1990 brochure, an F350 SCLB 4x2 had a payload of 4,720lb (2,141kg) with a GVWR of 10,000lb (4535kg), and with the 460 was capable of towing 10,000 (4535kg), 5th wheel 12,500 (5670kg) - this is brochure, not necessarily your particular vehicle, of course.
