Are the HD F150's relatively rare? Yes. But they are out there. My current F150 is a HD model. Long bed, SCAB, XLT. It has a CC of 2,286# with the Eco engine.
There weren't too many around. My salesman was "motivated" to find one since that was the only truck I would trade for. He found 5 different ones in PA. I live in VA.
If it had been earlier in the year when I was doing the trade, I would have just ordered one. As it was, Ford had begun the retooling at the factories for the new 2015 models.

A 2017 F-150 with a regular cab and 8' box is available with 3270 pounds of payload. A crewcab with a 6.5' box is available with 2910 pounds. A crewcab with a 5.5 foot box and 4WD, which seems the most popular configuration, can have 2100 pounds of payload. These are formidable payloads.
The new 3.5 Ecoboost has 375 HP and 470 torque. Again, very formidable.
Now I challenge you to go find these vehicles on a dealers lot or anywhere else for that matter. Vehicles equipped with these payload rating are very rare.
Proclaiming the 8700 dry trailer 1/2 ton towable maybe technically correct. However the fine print should say " You will have to factory order your 1/2 ton in order to buy one rated/equipped to do the job.:S
