    Uh oh. Re: towing capacities.

    When we purchased our 2017 f150
    I requested the maximum towing available with the 5.0

    Which should be the heavy tow package and the 3:73 gear ratio for a max rating of 10,800 lbs according to the ford web site.

    I used this number as a reference for the size of travel trailer I purchased in the fall to give me enough tow capacity to also pull my boat.

    Problem is I never double check the numbers of the truck.
    Now that I’m getting the hitch set and double checking. My truck (that I have owned for a year now) only has the 3.31 gear. Which means No heavy duty tow package and only a tow rating of 8900lbs.

    Need to double check my boat weight but I think that’s gonna put me over the combined weight to tow both.
