2014 F150 4x2 supercab long bed HD max tow package

Does anyone have one of these?

I'm not strictly looking at one of these as a TOW vehicle, but as a truck camper carrier. I've been finding conflicting information about the maximum payload and am hoping to verify it with someone that actually HAS the vehicle.

i found 1 ford spec sheet that claims it is 2700, another 2400 and a few owners around various forums that have claimed as high as 3000 but no one has posted a sticker to prove it. the Dealership network around here is just trying to up sell me to a f250 instead of answering the question.:R

thanks in advance!

  • My guess is 2600-2800 depending on trim/options. Should be plenty for that TC.

    Those numbers sync up pretty well with what I see on my truck. I have the SuperCrew 4x4, HD with 157" wheelbase. The Layout Book shows a max payload of 2330 and my yellow sticker shows 2196. I have the bucket seats and a few other options that I expect make up the 134 pound difference.

    SkipNChar has a 2011 SuperCab HD. Below is a line from his signature.

    Good luck,

    good to know, thanks!

    How much does the camper weight :H Most seem to require at least a 350 SRW.


    the frame is rotted, so i haven't been able to get an actual dry weight for the camper, but everything i've found on the internet about the model puts it at 990 pounds completely dry. ('78 wolverine 8' M-8SD) this is an 8 foot camper, sleeps 2 (and the couch would work for a kiddo) no show, single sink, no water heater, LP fridge, 2 burner stove no other features at all (and will likely stay this way, minus a couple fans for when it gets really hot) 16 gallon water tank, 5 gallon black and 5 gallon grey would put it at 1198 plus me, the wife and kiddo puts us at 1600 pounds. IF the payload of the truck really is 2700 with max payload and HD packages then that is 1000 pounds to play with. i say - that'll do fine for this camper.

    if it is only 2400 (or less!) then we are really pushing it as i anticipate about 300-500 pounds of camping******all said and done.

    hence the sticker request - i can't find a dealer around here that has one, and i know that often published specs may be a bit.. well.. optimistic.

    since the truck will also need to be a Daily Driver - the F250 really isn't in the running, rather likely we will wait and save for a trailer we can pull instead.
  • Not wanting to start a war, but there is more to a F-250 than a few pounds of payload difference. Compare the brakes for starters and decide which will stop your truck and camper quicker. Curious, how much more for a similarly equipped F-250? Yellow sticker payload is 3,496 pounds on my 2500HD regular cab 4x2.
  • max weight rating on a supercab is 1800 pounds, 2600 pounds for a regular cab, for a slide in truck camper.
