Towing 15,000 # boats and truck ratings
I figure that my Formula 382 weighs around 15,000 fully loaded. In a recent post one ton diesel, dually's were the favored solution for towing, although SRW's are in frequent use. According to my research only the 2008 F-350 diesel dually is rated to tow that much conventionally. Are the guys using Chevy's or older Fords legal? Voiding their warranty? Insurance??

F350...but it is a dual wheel. i think the single wheels are rated for 12,500...correct me if i am wrong. I was just stating that the 05 to newer F350DRW had the higher rating if you got the tow boss package.
This was in response to the orginal poster asking if the older fords where illegal

Not trying to argue or debate, just get down to the nitty gritty as far as towing capacity, aftermarket mods, and possible litigation.
