STIHLNTIME...what your Ford dealer says is irrelevant, he is best casing the situation. With loaded truck, your tow capacity will go down significantly.

Here are the easy formulas:

1. GCWR minus the weight of the truck (fully loaded ready to tow) = tow capacity.

2. Weigh the truck, subtract that weight from the truck's GVWR = truck cargo capacity.

Number 2 is what causes 250/2500 diesel trucks problems....pin weight is too high, resulting in the truck being over weight.
