Both my 2001 Ford F350 and my 2003 Ford F350 had GVWR of 9900 and GCWR of 20,000. My 2005 F250 has GVWR of 10,000 and GCWR of 23,000. All three are single rear wheel. The main difference is a much heavier and stronger frame in the 2005 and newer and larger brakes (thus the 17" wheels being the standard size on both the F250 and F350).

Keham, those heavier weights are, I believe, without the Tow Boss option. The Tow Boss option on the F350 dually 4x2 powerstroke takes GVWR to 13,000 and GCWR to 26,000, and fifthwheel tow rating to 19,200. I don't think this option is available on the single rear wheel but I may be wrong. It also requires the 4.30 axle.
