This truck is rated 1 Ton .? ( SF axle .? )
Nope, "1/2 ton"
The Cruiser 9.5 ( 60 series ) axles are rated 1/2 ton also . ? in the same way the 60 series ( or 70 series ) FF axles 3/4 ton . ?
And the 80 series FF axles are rated 1 ton . ? or 3/4
10.5 might be a misprint. TIS says 9.5 for all trucks.
Beno,
Your page doesn't make any reference to the new 5.7L motor. I think it has been mentioned that the 10.5" rear will only come behind the 5.7.
Ryan.
Truck "ratings" really have no meaning anymore, and have simply become industry slang.
The whole ratings thing most likely started from the military, where the rating was from cargo carrying capacity off road.. that's my bet..
The ratings really have nothing to do with the axles.. the axle's strength is a function of what that manufacturer deemed necessary.
ex: Tundra / Tacoma rear... 1/4 or 1/2 ton?
Ranger / F150 8.8... same thing
Toyota 8" with dual wheels... 1-ton.. ;p
six speed auto, 380hp, 10.5" rear, 10k+ towing ----ALL Toyota
That makes me really want to rob a bank
