Question Axel code 18

Hi all,
I tried to search for this but search option is down. If anybody knows what Axel code 18 is. I'm trying to figure out how much I can tow. I have a 1998 f150 2x4 with the standard transmission. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Yup 3:08.
You won't be pulling anything too big.

I just changed out my 3:55 to a 3:08 for better mileage.
I can tell some difference not bad but I don't tow much.
Keep in mind if you do tow or haul you can run in 4th instead or 5th and have the power of a 3:55 gear plus 4th is direct so less strain on the trans.
That's my plan.
