Rear end question.

As you have the 05 with 5.4, you have a 9.75" rear. Look at the door sticker and get the axle code. Here are the codes.
19 - 3.55 non-limited slip
25 - 4.10 non-limited slip
26 - 3.73 non-limited slip
27 - 3.31 non-limited slip
B5 - 4.10 limited slip
B6 - 3.73 limited slip
H9 3.55 limited slip
Front is an 8.8" with the same ration, but always an open diiff.

Factory 18"s for tires, but not sure about the WD hitch. I am using the Ford tow package hitch, with a Reese insert. Looking at pics and reading, I think it is a weight carrying setup.....do you concur?

More money, but worth it if you plan on towing that travel trailer. The WD hitch distributes the load more evenly on both the axles of the truck. It makes the truck handle better under a load. But I would buy one from a Hitch shop or Camper shop and have them set it up for you. Some WD hitches need to be set up properly or they won't help much at all. Do some searching on the internet about how to set one up and you will get a better understanding of how and why they work.

great !!.. with the info on this thread, my rear end is B6, 3:73 gears. with a 145" wheel base, 5.4L, 4x4, supercab, my tow rating is 9,300 lb. With my empty trailer weight of about 6,264 lb, added weight of upmost max 1,500 lb. (probably really about 1,000 lb.) i should be ok. I do have a decent reese WD hitch system.
total GVWR of 15,000 is allowed too.
I feel better now !
Thanks y'all !

The weight posted in the trailer is called a dry weight, and does not include any add ons or options like awning, air unit, Propane tanks, spare tire and carrier if you have one, no water in any of the tanks, etc. My trailers dry weight is 6850, and with very minimal supplies in it hooked to my 07 F150 Screw 5.4 The combo weighed in at 14,020 on the CAT scales at a truck stop. You should be within legal limits with the WD hitch set up properly so all the axle weights are ok, but you will be taking your truck very close to its limits! This will be very hard on the truck, and will take its toll over time. Better put a tranny gauge in it and watch it closely on the big hills! If you are going to do allot of towing you should consider a Super Duty, with a V10 or diesel.
