I just bought a new 2024 F150 XLT with the tow/haul pkg and a build date of 11/24. The window sticker shows 3.55 MAX TOW E-LOCK REAR AXLE and 7100# GVWR. The door sticker shows AXLE L5. This L5 axle code does not show up in the 2024 F150 Towing Guide. Attached is a photo of the axle codes in the guide. Hitch sticker shows hitch is rated for 14,000#.

I'm a bit confused why the axle code is not listed in the towing guide. Anyone else have the same L5 axle code?

 

I posted this on another thread.

Mine is the same. I think the issue is that we have an XL5. That would be the max tow 3.55 where XL7 is the max tow 3.73. Maybe they can’t print 3 characters on the label?

Here is the tag on my axle. This is a 3.55 on a 9.75. Not sure what the “S” is. I could only find C=Open/Conventional, L=Limited Slip, E=Electronic Locking Differential. I assume 9.75 C=Max tow with 9.75 B being the regular one.

On a side note, is this the recalled axle? They keep selling until permanent fix?

 

Strange that they don't list it on the towing guide.

 

I agree. This is the best I could come up with. Maybe someone can provide deeper insight.

 

I checked my truck came stock with 20" rims and it says code 27 but Ford only puts a 3.55 in trucks with stock 20" rims.

So IDK dont care. What year is the chart from ?

 

The Ford “L5” code is for a 3.15 non limited slip differential and gear set.

post a picture of the other sticker.

 

Here's the door sticker.

 

Here is the L5 on mine. This is a ‘24 Lariat with Tow/Haul Package and 3.55 max tow axle.



Tag on axle.

 

This seems to add a bit more clarity.

 

I’ve got a ‘24 STX with the 3.55 and the E locker add on. My door sticker shows L9. Hopefully that can help you decipher yours by compare and contrast.
