Notes: • This information also applies to models with Pickup Box Delete option (66D).
• Trailer weights are limited to 10,000 lbs. due to limitations of the conventional hitch. If you wish to tow a heavier weight, consider a fifth-wheel hitch (see chart above).
If you live in CA, NY, or MA, check with your dealer for powertrain/axle ratio availability.
