The actual payload will depend on how the truck is built. A 2wd gas truck with a reg. cab and no options will have a huge payload.
A 4wd diesel with a loaded interior will have much less.
Hopefully someone will answer who has actually weighed theirs. Even with that information, if you purchase a truck optioned differently it will change.
Your statement was true about the 2004 and earlier Ford trucks, but in 2005 something amazing happened. Trucks with heavy options got a higher GVWR! What a novel thought. A 4 by 4 diesel that can carry as much as a lighter curb weight F-350 without those options.
The 2005 and newer SRW F-350 should be able to carry about 4,000 pounds, a highly optioned out Lariat might be a little less, the 3,700 pounds quoted above seems to come to mind on one model.
The DRW F-350 even with a diesel engine and crewcab will come in around 8,000 pounds curb weight, and has a GVWR some 6,000 pounds higher. I don't have the exact spects, but getting a towing guide at your local Ford dealer will give them in detail. There is about 50 ways to equip a F-250 and F-350. Well over 2 dozen GVW ratings for various models, cab size, diesel or gas engine, 4 wheel drive or not.
Then there is GCVWR. That is super high with the F-450 and lower rear axle ratio.
Get the book. Even a current model year book is better than not having one, and not understanding about the GVWR designed into the current line of trucks.
Good luck,
