Default New 2018 no hitch capacity sticker

New 2018 F150 145” 4x4, 2.7 payload package, tow package.

There is no capacity sticker on the hitch. My 2016 that I traded had one. I expect it is the same but wanted to confirm. The owners manual does not give it either interestingly.

May 2018 build date. Did they stop with the stickers? Seems strange if they did but dont include it in the manual.

My June build truck doesn't have one either and it's the MTTP hitch.

Must be something new then. I thought it might be 500/5000 without WDH but wanted to confirm. I thought some were 550/5500lbs?

Cant understand that there is nothing in the manual

From the 2018 towing guide

I guess there is only one rating now so no more sticker

Ford has an awesome way of making things like towing way too confusing. Just too many configurations and changes over the years. One rating would be awesome. Now just to up that WC capacity closer to Chevy's 700/7000

Thanks for the help.

Still find it odd that there is no sticker or reference in the OM. I will write it in before I forget it!!
