Cargo weight vesus pay load
I am trying to get clear on the figures while we are searching for our new TV. On the door sticker there is a seperate sticker other than the one that shows you the total weight and front/rear axel...

Ford varies the GVWR for 2WD/4WD, each cab size, each bed length, each engine option, plus the Max Towing and HD packages. The Tire and Loading sticker is probably the more important one for owners and less confusing. It takes the actual GVWR for that combo, subtracts the base curb weight for that combo, and subtracts all the trim/option weight. I call it the "As Equipped" payload, because no one buys the base model no option truck.
People used to (and often still do) recommend weighing the truck before these stickers were required on 2006+ model year vehicles. That is difficult to do on several trucks on dealer lots.
APT...have tried to find the details or specifications for this label
and can not find it
Could you post a link that spells out how they derive the info. Specifically
that they used the 'curb' plus the OEM options subtracted from the GVWR?
Am not arguing, just extremely interested. If we (you) can prove
that, then part of the mystery of weights or HOW2 derive them can
be laid to rest
Thanks
