F250 Payload Capacity
I am looking at buying a used F250 but the door sticker seems to have a lot lower payload than I thought it would have. The truck fits the price range my wife and I are in. We are looking at a 1995 Ha...

I could be wrong but I think my 2017 SRW F350 has a bigger rear axle tube than the 2017 SRW F250.
I have the gas 6.2, crew cab, long bed with max payload 4160
Yeah the gas F250 gets a smaller axle dia vs the F250 diesel. It gets the same axle as F350 srw. Axles don't carry weight...just twist the gears/axles.
That 4160 lb payload is a gvwr based payload and will have to be spread over FAWR/RAWR. The F250 gas or diesel simply doesn't have enough RAWR to carry 4160 lbs in the bed.
So I'm guessing bigger stronger axles will benefit me for off road and turning 35 inch tires. I don't plan on doing anything extreme.
My plan is installing 35 inch tires and a aluminum flatbed with a flatbed pop up TC. I can get 35 inch tires under it without a lift or a leveling kit. Stock tires on it now are really close to 33's. I also have the snow plow package which sits the front end a little higher than an F350 without it. I will eventually install a heavy duty front bumper with a winch since my front end can handle it
