Towing Limit Question
Hi,
I've got a 93 f-250, supercab, 7.3l N/a Diesel. I don't know what the towing limit on it is. Is there anyone that can help me.?
Thanks in advance

12K pounds is 12K pounds, wind resistence is another factor.
According to the factory tow guide for 1993 your truck will pull:
6300# with 3.55 gear in a 4X2
10000# With 4.10 gear in a 4X2
6000# with 3.55 in a 4x4
10000# with 4.10 in a 4x4

Keep in mind here that the tow ratings are not only based on gear ratio and HP, but by the vehicle brakes. If you add larger tires to your stock truck it takes longer to stop it, if you add a trailer to that it takes even longer to stop everything.

But puregrunt had a simple question "what is my truck rated at". You have gone to the extreme with real world conditions. The truck is rated at what the truck is rated at, will it tow more? Most likely. Do we know if he lives in the mountains, or going to tow there? Do we know what he is going to tow?
You can look at this 15 different ways and not the same answer, but they all could be correct (with in reason).

Puregrunt resides in Australia, I myself have not been there to see the terrain of that country (I hear it is beautiful though). All I was doing was helping to answer a question with the correct specs for his truck

If you can predict what the wind and weather is going to for me when I go on vacation this year it would help out quite a bit, for figuring fuel economy.
Come on Snoman, if you can tell what the wind is going to do before you travel you need to tell the weather people because they can't get it right.
I respect and agree with alot of your posts but this is kind of rediculous, all the man wanted was a number on what the truck will do. He can figure it out from there if he is overweight or not. Or whether he has a flat bed or fifthwheel.
