Ford has advertised a 3100 lb payload for the older F150Hd 8200 GVWR models and now 3300 lb payload for the aluminum body truck.
Most F150HD folks may think they can carry 3100-3300 lbs in the bed ..WRONG !!!
Hell just simple math shows a F150HD with a 4800 RAWR may weigh say 2500 lbs on the rear which leaves 2300 lb payload before exceeding 4800 RAWR. The trucks rear axle/suspension now has a 800-1000 lb overload.
The payload sticker is a GVWR sticker which is derived from the front and rear axles.
A 3000 lb+ payload is in 3/4 ton truck arena with the 6000-6200 RAWR.
