We have other threads that explainthis in detail. Some of the highlights have been hit.
All Hemi trucks have the heavy duty cooling...V6 it is an option.
All trucks are wired 7pin/4pin.
The Towing Group includes Tow mirrors, Class IV hitch and trailer brake controller.
On Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited all come standard with the Class IV hitch. On these packages...if you want to keep powerfold and surroundview, DO NOT get tow package...add the trailer brake controller. Otherwise all you are getting is tow mirrors that take away options and brake controller.
Tradesman, Bighorn/Lonestar come standard with a Class III, which is the bumper. Yes, some bought their truck not knowing they didn't have a receiver hitch.
So when you add the Towing Group, you get it all...but lose heated mirrors.
Now. Onto numbers. Each and every truck will have a different payload and towing capacity. The numbers you see on the website and the towing guides is for a VERY SPECIFIC TRUCK...and almost no one buys that truck.
There are numerous threads on this also. But the Highlights are these two numbers
GVWR and GCWR. Only going to talk about Hemi 4x4.
GVWR is 7100 ALL GEARS
GCWR is 13900 for 3.21 and 17000 for 3.92
So you have to know payload and subtract that from GCWR to get trailer tow weight.
And now...Ford is probably the biggest inflator of numbers...their truck with max tow numbers is very, very specific.
Ask my boss.. he bought an all powerful EcoBoost and found out the 10000 lb camper he bought was way over his particular truck's capacity and had to have a few parts replaced.
Good times.
Camping season is here. We head out Friday afternoon.
