We are in the process of trying to buy a new TV and want to make sure we get more payload than we now have with our Navigator. We are looking at 3/4 ton trucks and the Ford F-250 we test drove had a payload of 1968 on the door sticker. The salesman said that the payload was just for the cab of the truck but I told him I didn't feel comfortable with that answer so he went and got a manager. The manager said the same thing. I'm still not comfortable with that answer. My husband has now decided to buy a GMC Sierra 2500 and I need to settle this sticker/payload question before we head out for a test drive on Friday because he will probably want to buy that day. Any help would be appreciated.
That's very low for a F250. I just looked at one that was a Crew Cab 4WD XLT 6.2L w/3.73 locker. Loaded with 2833 lbs payload on the door jam yellow tire loading sticker!
If you want a Diesel, you should be looking at F350s as that will eat a lot of your payload with it's heavy weight. Myself, you couldn't pay me to get a diesel. If the trailer is that heavy where I need a diesel, I better be living in it and then it would be a motor home.
