F150 payload quetion
I am looking at a new f150 crew cab 4x4 and it looks like the best payload I can get with those options is just under 1500 pounds. Am I reading the towing guide incorrectly? I know I can get up to 2...

How does 4x4 vs 4x2 affect payload?
payload is GVWR less curb weight.
Since teh GVWR is going to be the same (or very close) the extra weight of 4x4 gear comes off the payload.
Think of it this way. Take a 4x2 truck with a 2500 lb payload. Load an extra differential and transfer case in the bed. How much payload is left. In the OPs question 2 extra doors and a bench seat got thrown in there as well (reg vs crew cab). Keep doing this until all the extra parts are in the bed. The curb weight as gone up but not the GVWR so the difference (payload) is less.
