I was looking to get a reunel bumper but they only make them for warn winches. I know that the gross vehicleweight and its half should be considered minimum for a winch but they argued that you could double the line to get the winch capacity you need. since the truck is 7300lbs unloaded i was ideally looking to get a 12000lb winch but the only one that they say fits is the 9.5ti warn. Any suggestions/ recommendations? and has anyone had problems with their 9.5ti. Thanks for the info

 

Your telling me your truck weighs 7300 lbs ?

 

The gross vehicle weight on the door says 7266(appx)

 

Is that with your truck bed full of rocks or something?

 

Sorry just checked some specs and it states 7200.

 

no, it's FX4 supercrew. No rocks, just stock.

 

how the heck are you coming up with 7200, i know our trucks are heavy, but damn, not that heavy, i was thinking maybe 6200 max, am i wrong here?

 

That's what i read on the door and on the manufacturer spec sheet.

 

Gross Vehicle Weight includes all contents, i.e. people, cargo, etc. Your truck weighs between 5500 lbs and 6000 lbs, depending on options and whether it is 2wd or 4wd.

 

SUPERCREW 4x4
139wb 4.6L 1430 6900
5.4L 1630 7200

My real question is on the winch and its capacity. And peoples experience with Warn on their F150 supercrew FX4 F150. Thanks.

 

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Gross Combination Weight Rating

350. (a) "Gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR) means the weight specified by the manufacturer as the loaded weight of a single vehicle.

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus actual Cargo Weight plus passengers. It is important to remember that GVW is not a limit or specification . . . it is the actual weight that is obtained when the fully loaded vehicle is driven onto a scale.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
This is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including passengers and cargo). This number - along with other weight limits, as well as tire, rim size and inflation pressure data - are shown on the vehicle's Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on the left front door lock facing or the door latch post pillar. Note: The GVW must never exceed the GVWR.

I apologize for being quick on the trigger and loose on the lip. I learned something today. Didn't mean to offend anyone. Just didn't seem right to me and I stand corrected. Now, Where the heck can I find the ACTUAL weight of my vehicle??????? Thanks :o :o :o

 

If you have the 5.4L your vehicle weight is approx 5606lbs
and if its a 4.6 it is approx 5502lbs taking this into account you should need a 8409lb winch for a 5.4L truck, so a 9.5ti warn should be good. I took the weight from a ford f-150 online spec sheet. I would say your good to go even if you have added some extra weight.

 

I have the spec sheets in pdf format if you would like them E-mailed to you?
