We're working on a deal for a replacement truck, but we've learned that the '04 F350 had a few different configurations.
It's got the 6.0 Powerstroke diesel with single rear wheels, crew cab long box 4x4, and we've seen that it's around 9900 GVWR. Because our truck is usually towing when it's running, we're more concerned with the GCVWR. We've got a steel gooseneck 4 horse trailer, and an 18 ft flatdeck that pulls our 7000 lb tractor on occasion as well as 16+ loads per year of hay at about 5000 lbs. I drive past a weigh scale, and I've heard that the transportation officers are having more big loads weighed. I'm not interested in overtaxing the truck.
So, will the door sticker list GCVWR as well as GVWR? Or how can I find the rear gear ratio of the truck we're considering?
Sorry it's long, and thanks in advance for any help,
Jason
