For Experienced 1/2 Ton 5'ers

X2 On what Flapper said.
F-150 Heavy-Duty Payload
Package (Option Code 627)
Increases GVWR to 8,200 pounds.
– LT245/75R17E BSW A/T tires (5)
– High-capacity 17" 7-lug steel wheels (XL)
– High-capacity 17" 7-lug aluminum wheels
(XLT/Lariat)
– Heavy-duty shock absorbers
– Upgraded springs, radiator and auxiliary
transmission oil cooler
– 9.75" gear set with 3.73 limited slip axle
Available on XL and XLT Regular Cab and
SuperCab models with 8' box and XL,
XLT and Lariat SuperCrew with 6.5' box.
Requires 5.0L V8 or 3.5L V6 EcoBoost® gas
engine and Trailer Tow Package. Max Trailer
Tow Package also required with 3.5L V6
EcoBoost® engine.
In some configurations the Max. Payload is 3100 lbs. Not bad for a 1/2 Ton. I feel this package is a must if you want to tow a 5er of any size bigger than the smallest. When you go to the dealer be prepared because like Flapper said most salesmen don't know this information.
