There you haved it folks, 500# payload RESERVE, 513# capacity remaining on the rear axle, 300# remaining on the front. Thats a lot of baloney the OP could carry on top of the trailer, his family, water, generator, and so on.
Happy trails folks, don't believe Mike when the 1/2 ton bashing starts, the F150 is in no way a 1/2 ton. It's actually a consumer 1 ton. (Flame away, but first answer, how many tons is 2590#?)

Oh brother, how old are you?

The OPs dry weight is 6900 lbs, his low trailer GVWR is 8200 lbs. 13% of 8200 lbs is 1066 lbs not 1000 lbs. 14% of 8200 lbs is 1148 lbs, not 1000 lbs.

Crew Cab 4WD HD

Not Fleet:

GFAWR = 4050 lbs
GRAWR = 4800 lbs
GVWR = 8200 lbs

BTW, brochure payloads are for a totally stripped truck. NO power anything, no carpet but vinyl floor and seats. Payload of the actual truck goes by the Government MANDATED Tread Act sticker which will be much less.

The debate was not payload but guess you didn't look at that. It was hitch receiver rating and front axle rating. A standard NONE HD Crew Cab 4WD 157" WB truck has a 3900 lbs Front Axle rating and a .150 frame thickness. The HD option only adds an insignificant 150 lbs to 4050 lbs front axle rating and has the same frame. I linked and gave a page number even but guess you didn't read that. :R This is a big deal because with the longer 157" wheelbase, more weight will be shifted towards the front axle from weight in the bed of the truck and the backseat.

The truck is near it's max hitch rating with 13% and is right at it with 14%. OP will be over if he loads the trailer front heavy or if it's front heavy by design.

The HD truck is marginal. What is so hard to see. Comprehension?

Then you take to arguing about payload which was never brought up about a HD F150 in any of my posts. You're arguing over nothing that was said.

Ignorance is rampant in the thread.

Go ahead and post more ignorance as I'm done arguing. When you argue with an idiot, some times it's hard to tell which is the idiot. So I'm done.
