Ford VIN Specific Calculator for Payload/Tow Ratings
#41
Maybe it's just me/ my browser, but when I go to https://fordfleetlive.com/#/VinCalculator, all I get is the Fleet homepage, with no links to use the tool or put a VIN in anywhere. Maybe they changed the site in the past few days?
Would like to simply validate the numbers for a 2018 SCrew Lariat, 5.0, 145" WB, 3.55 e-locker, 7000# GVWR package, trailer tow package (NOT max). Towing guide states 9,100 lbs max tow, but I don't know the curb weight off hand.
VIN ends in JFA28891. Anyone else having this issue?

It's in the equipment chart for the different packages in the RV&TT Guides although as I stated it was incorrect on the older 5.0 53B I looked at in that they list the upgraded brushless fans which were not there.
Honestly Ford isn't real good about covering everything like you get the new full floating rear axle on ALL Powerboost and the versions of Max Tow that get the 4150 RAWR like the Screw 157 3.5EB and all HDPP. The Max Tow 145 3.5 EB I looked at didn't have it.
What is the full floating rear axle? I do wish ford was better about listing all this stuff.
I got the 3.5 Max Tow 145. I'm rated to tow 13,900lbs according to the Ford. I know that's just 100 pounds off the maximum for the model year so I'm happy with that. But what am I missing out on not having that axle?

and here I thought it was me and my computers. tried on 2 and had no luck. wish I could find out what is different between the truck I'm getting and a truck with MAX tow. the window sticker shows all the options of a Max Tow (except for a bumper - big whoop since it has a Class IV hitch). according to dealer, the truck has the towing package and is rated for 11200lbs. what gives? 2021 F150 EB3.5, 3.55 gears, Lariat Sport 4x4, SC.
EOEs have any idea? or is the dealer wrong. I even called Corporate and they couldn't tell the difference between a Max Tow truck and the one I'm getting. I highly doubt that putting the words "Max Tow Package" lets the truck tow 2600 more lbs....
thanks
