1,659 on a short bed 5.0l 4x4 isn't too bad for an F150. My old FX2, 2WD 3.5l EcoBoost short bed w/ MaxTow was 1790.
My FX2 is ~2030# payload, you must have had some heavy options. Prolly a SCrew; mine is a SCab.
And am looking forward to seeing some 2015 F150 HD Payload trucks in the wild, as the published specs in the 2015 Source Book don't make a lot of sense to me.
The GVWR has dropped to 7850# in the HD Payload trucks with 18" HD 6-lug wheels, but they've kept the 4800# rear GAWR, same as the 2011-2014 HD Payload trucks with 7-lug wheels/axle.
But, while the 7-lug wheel's weight rating was 2400#, matching the 4800# rear GAWR, the 18" HD 6-lug wheel's weight rating is only 2101#. :h
Maybe a misprint ... the tech spec (2015 Source Book) I'm reading from is from Sept 2014 and clearly says that it's "current info" and "subject to change".
