I recently picked up my custom ordered 2005 Ford F-250 XL 4X4 extended-cab 6.0 Diesel/Tqshift auto, manual locking hubs and leaver T-case truck yesterday with the 10,000 weight rating package on the door panel, and the door panel says that the front axle has a 5200lb weight rating and not the 6000lb weight rating that I thought that it would have, (As stated in the fliers that I was reading) Does anyone know why it says this or was it a error in the marketing dept. to put this change in when it was not real. I thought that since I was ordering the diesel/Tqshift 4x4 combo with the 10,000lb weight package it would have the higher axle weight rating since the Diesel engine is considerably heaver than the 2 gas engines. Any help would be useful.

 

I have a similar 05 Supercab 4x4 diesel. It is equipped with the camper spring pkg. I have a 9800lb GVW label with axle ratings which combined total more like 11000. I think you needed to order the snowplow prep pkg to get the highest front rating.
