The table below lists every trim of the 1992 Ford F-350 4 x 4 with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

Per-trim breakdown

Configuration Engine HP Torque Axle Tow (lb) GVWR Curb Payload
5.8 V-8 5.8 V-8 7,800
7.3 V-8 Diesel 7.3 V-8 Diesel 10,000
7.5 V-8 7.5 V-8 10,000

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Ratings in this range are typically achievable with a weight-distributing hitch and the appropriate tow package. The conventional bumper-pull rating without weight distribution will be lower than the headline figure shown here — usually 5,000 to 8,000 lb. Confirm the hitch class on your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing at the upper end.

How this year compares to 1991

The 1991 Ford F-350 4 x 4 carried a maximum tow rating of 12,500 lb. The 1992 model is rated 2,500 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 1991 Ford F-350 4 x 4 page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
