You have a 4R55E, check to see what gears your truck is running, there is an axle code on the door then check this chart http://www.explorerforum.com/ntrprize/Axle.htm it helps to know this as different gearing setups had different limits.

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the towing section.
