Need help with 2004 F150 tow weights
Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can help me figure out the tow weights? We have the 2004 4X4 F150 STX 4.6L automatic trans. We want to haul a 2 horse stock trailer for our cows. The trailer weighs 3500. The sticker on the truck door says GVWR 6950. (Front GAWR 3600, back GAWR 3800). The manual says it's Maximum Trailer Weight is 5900. The GCWR is 11500. Can someone help me figure out how much I can actually tow? I've never had to haul before & don't want to overload the truck while loaded. Cows are roughly 1200lb ea. Thank you for your help.

you should be fine towing that load. it will be slow with the 4.6 but it should be fine. i would recommend the weight distribution hitch to help.the specs you wrote mean
gvwr= gross vehicle weight rating ( total allowable weight of the truck & cargo)6950lb
gawr= gross axle weight rating ( max weight on front or rear axle) 3600/3800 lb
