F450 question

Do you know what the max weight towing is with the 2008 F450 diesel dully. I'm talking the weight of the truck and trailer. For some reason I was to say 24,000 lbs. is max.

What I was able to find was only for the 6.8L gas engine. From page 244; http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pub.../08f23og4e.pdf
F-450/F-550, 4.88/5.38 rear end, Manual or Automatic, Max. GCWR 26,00 lbs.

My lookup shows a 2008 F450 with 4.88 rear end GCWR is 33,000 lbs.

I know that it is 26,000 lb for my F350 single wheel 2005. I htink the older dually F350 was 23,000 prior to 2005.

Ok, I don't have my truck here right now and I was wondering. I pulled it on to a CAT scale the other day and the total weight was 27,320 lbs. with my trailer hooked up to it.

I think it shows your GCWR (gross combined weight rating) is 29,000 with the 4.30 gears and 33,000 with the 4.88 gears. Also, they changed the GCWR and gear availability part of the way through the year. The 4.88 gears disappeared as an option and the GCWR was raised to 33,000 across the board with the 4.30 gears.
