2015 F150 Payload
This is the sticker from a buddy's 2015 F150. It's a crew cab, 4x4, 5.5' box, FX4, with a 5.0L V8. 1659# Payload.

Isn't the max. payload in a 2015 F150 3300 lbs (and 12,200 lbs tow cap.)? If so, what does it take to get that? I think I read somewhere that Ford also reduced the strength of the frame and amount of material used in it somewhat to take advantage of the lower GVWR from using aluminum.
It seems like the line between a 1/2 and 3/4 T truck is blurred more than ever now. If the new F150 is available with 3300 lb payload cap., why buy a 3/4T if you can get an F150 with more payload than some 3/4 T trucks? Is there something about a 3/4T that is inherently better like a stronger frame and bigger brakes?
I wonder if and when Ford will build the F250 with aluminum? Personally I am highly skeptical of the aluminum bodied F150 for a number of reasons and will take a steel body any day, even if it meant switching to another brand.
