Trailer Towing; Unloaded Or Lightly Loaded Vehicles - Ford F-750 Owner's Manual

Driving
• Canada
Under no circumstances should your vehicle be loaded in excess of the
GVWR or GAWR. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that neither
the axle capacities, spring capacities, tire capacities nor the vehicle rated
GVWR is exceeded. For tire capacities, refer to Maintenance and
Specifications chapter.

Unloaded or lightly loaded vehicles

The braking system has been designed to safely stop your vehicle when
fully loaded to its GVWR.
When operating empty or lightly loaded, sudden or hard braking
may induce wheel lockup with loss of vehicle control and the
possibility of accident and serious injury, especially on wet or slippery
road surfaces.

TRAILER TOWING

Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle's engine,
transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these
components carefully prior to and after any towing operation.
Your vehicle's load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so
you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle.
2nd unit bodies are not included in maximum trailer weight ratings. The
weight of the additional "body" must be subtracted from the maximum
trailer weight.
