F150: max payload package or airbags?
I own a 2013 F150 that I really like but want a firmer suspension for hauling and trailer pulling. I might upgrade this truck but really need a new vehicle anyway. I have not been able to get a prom...

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.
You sure? I don't see any 8200 lb GVWR.

Good catch. That document contradicts itself, as well as the 2015 Ford Towing Guide, which also lists a max GVWR of 7850 when equipped with HD Payload. I wonder which number is right. Ditto on the frame thickness.
