(laughing)..I always like these anti F-150 threads..The modern F-150 exceeds some of the older 250 and 3500's in payload and towing.The newer trucks are getting heavier by alot in most cases but the older trucks handled the heavy loads with ease back then as does a modern F-150.
Ran accross this looking for something and it applies to this thread.
So there's your 4500 pound pickup hauling a 9000 pound load except it is a 1 ton truck that only weighs 4500 lbs....LOL

Just happened to go through some of my archives today and spotted a brochure for the 1976 Ford Trucks. Here are the curb weights.
F-100 - 3590 lbs
F-150 - 3805 lbs
F-250 - 3910 lbs
F-350 - 4515 lbs
This was reg cab for all, 6.5 ft bed for the F-100, 8 ft for the others. Back then, the XLT was considered the luxury model. The heaviest F-350, a crew cab with an 8 ft bed, 4865 lbs
