While you can get Max Payload Package on Lariet trim if you check the box for 3.73 rear axle but as soon as you check most any other option boxes the Payload Package is not available. As I recall the same is true for the other trim levels as well and has been since the truck went aluminum. I really wanted max payload package but I also wanted some other nice features. I was torn over which way to go and finally ended up with the other features. If they ever offer it all on one truck I may have to upgrade.
I went through the 2018 F150 Order Guide last week with my dealer and we ordered a 2018 CC Lariat with HD payload #627 in ruby red metallic. I chose almost every available option that's allowed with the HD Payload package. You can't order any package (501A or 502A) above the standard 500A option package and Race Red is not available, among other things. I expect a payload of around 2400 with my config. The one I ordered has a GVWR of 7850 and a max payload of 2620 before options. I've asked the dealer for the build sheet as accepted by the factory and if I get it I will post it.
