Is there a web site where I can find the towing capacities of the 2004 f150's? I wanted to know what kind of a load I can tow and or carry in the box at the same time.

 

I think the specs are on this site, under articles/specs then click specifications, you can find it from there.

 

found it...thanks

 

glad i could help, doesnt seem like your too excited about whatever your capacity is.

 

You might want to take a look at the last photo in my gallery before you get too caught up in the published numbers. We are lucky to have a fair number of these roadside scales scattered around Albeerta and for that reason I have weighed my truck quite frequently. I continue to be surprised at how often I am actually over my GVWR as 3300 kg seems like a lot. However, the new F150's are heavy vehicles to start with, at least in the 4X4 versions.

Don't get me wrong I really like my truck; most of the time I don't use it for hauling things and it rides and handles great. It's just that if I were trying to tow something I know that I could REALLY overload it.

As I understnd it B.C. can be even more picky about getting caught cruising down the highway overloaded than they are here in Alberta. Remember that those published figures are just that. Make sure to check the actual weight before you tow.

 

Got to fordvehicles.com, trucks, f150, specs, towing:

whats the weight limit there in Alberta? here in al. GVWL is 8000lbs but the state allows you to tow a net of 12000lbs as long as the truck is 8000lbs or less or you have to move up to a F1 tag.

i've been trying to get a hunting trip to Alberta for the last 3 yrs. maybe oneday i'll make it. i think its really beautiful there.

 

As far as I know you can legally load to the GVWR listed on the vehicle.

One of the reasons I took the job I have is that you can hunt bison in this area without any sort of license. They come out of Wood Buffalo National Park. Problem is with a new job I haven't had the time.

 

its cool you can tow the listed GVWR. what about the GCWR ?you might be saying that actually.

Man that would be cool to hunt bison. I'm a bowhunter and that would be mind blowing to be within 30 yards of something that big in the wild.

know whatcha mean bow season opened oct 15th here and i only got to go once. and i own the land. work never seems to end.

 

I think that there is no problem with GCWR either.

There are a few stories around here about people having to take cover behind a tree when a wounded bison went after them. I guess they can be pretty aggressive at times. Still under the right conditions they should be available with a bow.
