The 4,700 lb payload is due to the class 3 regulation of a max GVWR of 14k lbs, nothing more. Ford basically derated the trucks payload so it can fit into the class 3 and you don't have to have a special licence to drive it. I have no doubts that that truck can handle way more than that.

No different than RAM. The 14K is JUST A NUMBER! The bottom line is what are the AXLE ratings? Fish said 9,900# RAWR on the 450. that is up 850# but only 150# above RAM. With my truck fully loaded I can add 5,800# pin to get to 9,750# RAWR.

Best part from what I saw on the Vid is the truck is not dragging AZZ.

I was surprised it took so long before it dropped from 4th to 3rd. My truck will hold longer than I "THINK" it should at times but these new trucks with torque so low I guess they have it figured out!

I am thinking they will get more business with the rV haulers and hotshotters now.
