Heavy duty payload package also includes a thicker frame. That's what the hold up is in giving you a build date. They are not building those frames right now.
All long beds have the thicker frame. All 3.5l eco's have the 9.75" axle. If there is a different radiator, show me the part number.
This is my understanding as well. The fleet guide lists three frame dimensions:
9.06 x 3.58 x .087 (LD)
9.06 x 3.58 x .1 (HD)
9.06 x 3.58 x .11 (HD/HPP)
8200-lb. GVWR is included with the available Heavy-duty Payload Package (627) and requires either the 5.0L 4V V8 or 3.5L 4V V6 engine. In
addition to the equipment listed above, this package also includes Super Engine Cooling, 9-channel oil-to-air auxiliary transmission oil cooler,
frame upgrade (.150 rail thickness)
That's previous generation info. Max GVWR on the new models is 7850.
That was from 2015 specs.
