Ford had an online deal that you plugged your VIN into and it output all the details, seems to be gone now.

It's confusing and there are errors in their towing guide. It's been debated on the tremor forum.
There's also no difference in the F250 vs F350 Tremor other than badges.
OP
Bumper is 15k and gooseneck is 22k on mine.
Literally have to double check to see if my trailer and jeep are still back there. you don't feel them at all.
OP
OP
Yeah, that should be more than enough for any trailers I'm looking at.
OP
They don't need to be, remember that 22k isn't all on your rear tires...
Most if not all E rated tires will be enough to handle what ever the truck's tongue weight rating is
When using a weight distribution hitch your tongue weight (for a tongue pull) is rated higher because it disperses the weight to the front of the truck.
It's less than $1000 difference but you do get higher ratings on the F350.
But insurance difference was $4 per year when I asked.
Also my registration is $120/year on the 1 ton vs percentage of value on the 3/4 ton. It's not like that everywhere, my understanding is you wouldn't want the 1 ton some places such as California.
OP
I wouldn't want a trailer in California period. Speed limits suck coming from 80mph across the country down to 55mph.
And they are asshats when it comes to out of state vehicles towing!!!
I didn't slow down when I was out there? I outran most everything.
I had no issues, except finding DEF at a pump. It's the only time I've filled the truck with a jug.
I also took the truck and trailer through the no vehicles longer than 22' recommended area of Sequoia NP
you lucky sumbiatch!!!
OP
WI doesn't (require) plates on trailers. I haven't tested that across the country, but it'd save a few $$/year not getting them.
F250 and F350 tremor physically the same but higher tow ratings on the 350? Thats dumb.
OP
I haven't seen DEF at the pump around here at all. But we also don't have any truck stops.
