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 2018 guide's printed ratios: 10% for conventional towing, 15% for 5th-wheel towing. The 2018 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 2018 Super Duty guide.

These document-level rules define the physics and safety boundaries of the 2018 Super Duty pickup guide. They apply alongside the row-specific weights in the chart below.

FIG. 2018 LOAD Load + Altitude

Base loading guidance from Ford

  • Conventional: 10% tongue weight of total loaded trailer weight.
  • 5th-wheel: 15% king-pin weight of total loaded trailer weight.
  • Gooseneck: TowingIQ note: the 2018 guide prints no pin weight percentage for gooseneck towing, so none is shown.
  • High altitude: reduce gross vehicle weight (GVW) and gross combination weight (GCW) by 2% per 1,000 ft of elevation, starting at the 1,000 ft elevation point. The 2018 guide prints this under "Gasoline engines lose power by 3-4% per 1,000 ft. elevation." — it is stated for gasoline engines.
FIG. 2018 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 15,000 / 1,500 lbs; weight-distributing 15,000 / 1,500 lbs. Ford note 2 on the weight-distributing rating: Not available with 6.7L diesel with 176" wheelbase.
  • F-250/F-350 Super Duty SRW w/6.7L engine hitch receiver Printed for: F-250 SRW 6.7L Weight-carrying 18,000 / 1,800 lbs; weight-distributing 18,000 / 1,800 lbs. Ford note 3 on the weight-distributing rating: Available only with 176" wheelbase.
FIG. 2018 FRONTAL Frontal Area

Frontal-area allowances are tow-type specific

Conventional towing

  • 60 sq ft
    Super Duty Pickup 60 sq. ft. for other Super Duty pickup applications

5th-wheel towing

  • 75 sq ft
    Super Duty Pickup 75 sq. ft. for 5th-wheel and gooseneck applications

Gooseneck towing

  • 75 sq ft
    Super Duty Pickup 75 sq. ft. for 5th-wheel and gooseneck applications
FIG. 2018 SAFETY Universal Safety Baseline

Required equipment and threshold rules for the 2018 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. 2018 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. 15
  • Required: Weight-distributing hitch: required for certain Class III and all Class IV applications. Ford guide, p. 35
  • Required: A conventional, identical full-size spare tire is required for trailer towing (mini, compact and dissimilar full-size spare tires should not be used; always replace the spare tire with a new road tire as soon as possible). Ford guide, p. 41
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.
