The most I have seen is 1616 but I am looking at nicer trim levels.
Half ton trucks have a lower GVWR than 3/4 or 1 tons.
Higher trim levels are heavier.
If you insist on a half ton truck and high trim level, you will keep finding low payload ratings. Either look for a max payload Ecoboost F150 with a higher GVWR or buy a 3/4 ton. This argument that 3/4 ton trucks can't be daily drivers is simply foolish. There is no reason they can't, other than you refusing to accept it. Yes, you won't get as good fuel mileage, but you will also get a truck that is built much heavier and will last longer and carry a residual value better.
Either change your parameters or accept the obvious limitations to your search. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
