Towing capacity of 2010 Harley??
#17
I had a Nissan Armada and the same topic always came up whenever someone put any wheels 22"+ on them.

The Lighting had heavy tow ratings and special suspension especially in 03-04. Not sure why the Harley is lower. I am sure Ford specs a strong wheel. I had 20's on my F250 factory they were super strong I think Alcoa made them for Ford. Maybe it is due to a lowered reduced spring capacity.

The Platinum also has AWD, but there is no mention in the manual of similiar limitations in towing capacity to the HD, so it must be those 22" wheels that make the difference. The Platinum can be got with 20's but I don't think they are big enough to hamper the tow rating.

The platinum does not have AWD. Thats only a option in the HD as far as i know.
Also i use a platinum to pull my 7500 daily. It feels better than towing with our F250 SD. Quiter, smoother, more comfortable and more controlled. Makes me feel much safer towing.

Here is the Sticker I sent Ford an email about it and they referred me to my dealer, since I didn't purchase from a local dealer I was going to go talk to a mechanic at one of the local Ford dealers to see what they say.

it has the 7050# GVWR Package as well as Trailer Tow Package Trailer Sway Controls and like I mentioned the Trailer Brake Controler. When I spoked to a salesman friend he was a bit shocked at the limmited tow capacity. It's certainly a beautiful truck which i don't want to damage. But I would like the ability to pull some fun along with me if it is possible.

What does your driver's door/B-pilar Tire and Loading sticker say for payload? My guess is less than 1000 pounds, maybe 700 pounds. GVWR of 7050 is less than any other Supercrew 5.4L 4WD @ 7200 pounds. That will be the limiting factor. So, maybe the springs are different.
