F 150 EB max tow info help

[SpaCityBulldog]

Off subject a bit but don't forget about the 36g tank option.

Can't speak for all but mine had 18" Goodyear tires 10 ply my 250 also came with Goodyear 10 ply tires 20" your vin # will tell all the details of the truck all the Pckgs that it came with my f150 was a lariat 250 was a king ranch ordered both new so I can be sure what size tires on it you can also go on line and see what the options were on 2011 f150

Ok take a look at the attachment (2011 ford truck brochure), the EB supercrew 4x4 with the gvwr of 7650 and 7700 has a footnote #3

Footnote #3 is max trailer tow package only

Other models show footnote #1, this is the heavy duty payload package

So my take away is if you are looking for a supercrew 4x4, all you need is the max tow package to get those payload ratings.

I recognize the best way to know your payload is to look at the sticker in the door jam, but it should confirm what is in this brochure.

I've been saying all along that if it is MaxTow it will have a GVWR of 7650 or 7700. According to that there was no HD payload CC option in 2011. Definitely was not the case in 2013. If you find the lines with GVWR of 8200 (HD Payload trucks), you'll see they are regular and supercab configs only. You need to be aware that just because you get the MaxTow doesn't mean you get that published rating. That is for a base model truck. Options will reduce from that number.

You won't beat the ecoboost power unless you go with a diesel.

Yes, the 7650 or 7700 GVWR (could be different numbers if the OP is talking about a 4x2) will tell you what you need to know if you are looking at a SCAB or SCREW. But if you want piece of mind, the window sticker generator in post # 7 is what the OP needs. You are absolutely right to be asking how to verify this. Be aware that many are told "Max Tow" when they are really 535 (AKA the normal towing package).


I would also check FordEtis also. FordEtis home page
Put in the VIN and hit search. Then click the little down arrow on the lower right where it says "Minor Features".
That will give you the build details of the particular truck including just about everything you could ever want to know. The details should say "With Load Leveling Trailer Towing" for a 2011.


Disclaimer for all the Canucks: Unless the truck is Canadian . . .The original sticker having Max Tow mirrors listed is a near certainty that it is a Max Tow equipped vehicle. You can verify the 3.73 axle ratio on the sticker also, or you could look up the code on your door. A Max Tow requires the vehicle to have that ratio. Then you can check the code against this chart (2011 version).





As someone mentioned, the 36 gallon gas tank is a must in my mind. The 26 was a source of many complaints on the early models (ie 2011) on the F150 Ecoboost forum.

If I understand the discussion above about HD vs Max Tow. . .I am fairly confident the HD F150 SCREW in 2011 was a Harley Davidson. I beleive the first HD Heavy Duty (SCREW) package was an option in 2012. All SCAB/SCREW heavy duty payload packages (2012-2014) should be GVWR 8200.

If it's a max tow package it has to have a 3.5 ecoboost and 3:73 rear end 11300 l max tow weight

[madmaxmutt]

I think the 6.2L was an optional Max Tow engine in 2011, but the documentation from that year isn't the best Ford ever did. And, there were some Max Tows that were 11,200. That gear ratio was required in order to select Max Tow.

I concur. I also have Auto 4 Wheel, Hi 4 wheel, LO 4 Wheel, Electronic locking 3.73 rear diff. Mine is 11,200 due to King Ranch Package.
