Guide Context

Payload, hitch load, and equipment notes

This Ford guide does not publish an engine-level max-payload summary for this engine and year. Actual payload, GVWR, rear GAWR, passengers, cargo, options, and trailer tongue or pin weight come from the truck certification label. The hitch-load column uses the 2015 guide's printed ratios: 10–15% for conventional towing, 15–25% for 5th-wheel towing. The 2015 guide prints no gooseneck percentage, so gooseneck rows show no hitch load. Chassis-cab, cutaway, medium-duty, and other commercial/upfit ratings are not included in this pickup guide.

TECHNICAL GUIDE

Document-level towing rules for the 2015 Super Duty guide.

These document-level rules define the physics and safety boundaries of the 2015 Super Duty pickup guide. They apply alongside the row-specific weights in the chart below.

FIG. 2015 LOAD Load + Altitude

Base loading guidance from Ford

  • Conventional: 10–15% tongue weight of total loaded trailer weight.
  • 5th-wheel: 15–25% king-pin weight of total loaded trailer weight.
  • Gooseneck: TowingIQ note: the 2015 guide prints no pin weight percentage for gooseneck towing, so none is shown.
  • 5th-wheel / gooseneck: 15–25% king-pin weight of total loaded trailer weight. TowingIQ note: the guide prints this range for 5th-wheel towing; it prints no gooseneck percentage.
  • High altitude: reduce gross vehicle weight (GVW) and gross combination weight (GCW) by 2% per 1,000 ft of elevation. The 2015 guide prints this under "Gasoline engines lose power by 3-4% per 1,000 ft. elevation." — it is stated for gasoline engines.
FIG. 2015 HITCH Hitch Capacities

Receiver rows printed for the F-250 6.7L V8 Turbo Diesel

  • F-250/F-350 Super Duty SRW hitch receiver Printed for: F-250 SRW Weight-carrying 6,000 / 600 lbs; weight-distributing 12,500 / 1,250 lbs. Ford note 2 on the weight-distributing rating: Not available with 6.7L diesel with 156", 158" and 172" wheelbases.
  • F-250/F-350 Super Duty SRW w/6.7L engine hitch receiver Printed for: F-250 SRW 6.7L Weight-carrying 8,500 / 850 lbs; weight-distributing 14,000 / 1,400 lbs. Ford note 3 on the weight-distributing rating: 2.5" receiver. If the provided 2.5" to 2.0" adapter is used, this reduces the Max. Trailer Capacity to 12,500 lbs. and the Max. Tongue Load to 1,250 lbs.Ford note 4 on the weight-distributing rating: Available only with 156", 158" and 172" wheelbases.

FIG. 2015 SAFETY Universal Safety Baseline

Required equipment and threshold rules for the 2015 guide

This guide year publishes a warranty baseline only; no weight-threshold equipment rule applies to the pickup lineup.

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may be voided if you tow without required equipment.

FIG. 2015 EQUIP Printed Guidance

What the guide prints as required or recommended

  • Recommended: A weight-carrying hitch is recommended for all vehicles towing trailers less than 5,000 pounds. Ford guide, p. 13
  • Required: Weight-distributing hitch: required for certain Class III and all Class IV applications. Ford guide, p. 27
  • Required: A conventional full-size spare tire is required for trailer towing (mini spare tires should not be used; always replace the spare tire with the road tire as soon as possible). Ford guide, p. 32
NOTES: Document-level universal rules sit beneath the row-specific chart ratings. Use the chart to narrow cab, drivetrain, axle, GCWR, wheelbase, and box length.
