GM has the NHT package since at least 2009 which is similar to Ford's Max towing package. It continues with expanded availability for 2014. Still 6-lug, but raised rear spring rate and GVWR. I have not heard of GM offering an equivalent package for Ford's HD payload F-150. That's a very niche market, despite how often it is discussed on RV forums. Most are custom orders.
Anyway, typical 2009-2013 Ford/GM crew cabs with EB/5.0/5.3L sit on dealer lots with 1400-1500 pounds of payload. Improvement for the masses is a good thing, even if maybe not enough for a family towing an 8k pound TT.
But as we all know, payload is the limiting factor on all half tons, at least in regards to towing RV's.
I digress.. I'm just being greedy in not wanting to buy a new 3/4-1ton truck for my borderline halfton trailer..
