Not to poke fun at you but it is 5,000 / 500. read the owners manual and towing guide. 2" is 5,000 500. see page 27 of the link. F-350 DRW is 6,000/600. NO FORD FACTOR HITCHES HAVE A WEIGHT RATING OF 850 Tongue weight rating of 850 unless you move to a F-650 (medium duty).

Page 266 of the Superduty (F250-F550) owners manual. The 8500/850 is a typo on my part. It is 8000/800.
