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.

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.
