Hey guys, I hate to post a generic topic like this but I simply can't find a solid answer. I have a 1992 F-350 2wd SuperCab dually, new 7.3 diesel, 5-speed with
4.10 gears. I need to know the towing capacity (ie. gooseneck/tag-along). I don't know the weight of the truck and therefore I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to be able to haul. If anyone has a booklet from '92 that would be great. Thanks, Jacob

PS I'm looking at getting those fancy air bags so I can compete with Dave S.

 

This is the Manual Transmission part from my 92 owners manual if this is wat ur looking for

 

This is right from the Ford Recreational vehicle and trailer towing guide 1992-3....

The GCWR of the Fseries trucks towing a frame hitched trailer.

F series with 7.3 and automatic is:
355....12000lbs
410....17000lbs


F series with 7.3 and manual is:
355....12000lbs
410....14000lbs


The CGWR of the Fseries trucks towing a Fifth wheel trailer.

F series with 7.3 automatic is:
355....12000lbs
410....17000lbs
513....18000lbs

Fseries with 7.3 and manual is:
355....12000lbs
410....14000lbs
513....17000lbs


As you can see trans makes a difference, these numbers were considered low at the time our trucks were sold new. I think Ford was just doing CYA.....

 

I have a 92 f450 superduty 7.3 where can i find what gears i have .

 

Excellent information guys! Thanks for your input!

 

Darrell,
What RPM are you running at what speed with what size tires and which tranny do you have?


2030 RPM
60 MPH
235/85-16 tires
ZF 5

As an example would work out to 4.10 gears

 

why was the gasser rated for so much more?
