Been looking for a bigger truck and was considering a 7.3L, but can't find any info on payload and tow rating. What's the payload and tow rating of a 2003 F350 crew cab dually?

 

Is this what you're looking for???




This is out of the 7.3L Diesel Owner's Guide Supplement from my '03.

 

So the single rear wheel can tow the same or more than the dual? Weird - I wouldn't have thought that. What's the advantage in having a dually?

 

id guess it evens the load out better, having 4 tires on each side instead of just 1. may not stress the tires as much

 

Its muuuuuuch more stable.

 

Also much more payload with the dually.


...and man, we've come a long way in 8 years. 13,000 lbs. (2003) vs. 24,000 lbs. (2011)

 

and the thing is..they arent done yet!!!

 

The old F250 is the new F150.
The old F350 is the new F250
The old....

Pretty soon the Ranger will move 24,000 pounds. heh heh

 

yea, just like dodge and fords half tons are up to 10k arent they?

 

Technically, no.

US DOT regulations: Part §658.17 - Weight. The maximum gross weight upon any one axle, including any one axle of a group of axles, or a vehicle is 20,000 pounds.

All F250/350's (listed in the 7.3L Supplement), regardless of cab/bed/axle ratio/rear wheel configurations, are rated at a 20,000 lb max. GCWR.

 

Yeah I did some research after I posted that...and it seems like alot of people say more payload with dualies and alot say it's the same. But here's my logic: shouldn't four tires out back be able to handle more of a load than just two?

 

yes

 

I checked the owners manual for my 2000 today. GCWR for F-250 and F-350 trucks is 20000, with max tow listed as 10,000 for all.

 

When the F250's (in this yr range) are listed at the DOT's max GCWR, then obviously, the F350's (regardless of SRW or DWR) are going to have a higher capacity.....but logic and DOT don't always mix, especially when they put you on the scales.
