You may be aware, but you didn't say it, the Max Tow package and HD payload package are two different packages.
The base truck is 7200gvwr
Max Tow brings it to 7700gvwr
HD Payload brings it to 8200gvwr (can you even get this without max tow?)
Am I right? I think so.
I don't have experience to have an opinion on your situation, but I can say that with a load near max payload, this truck feels much stronger than my previous truck did at its payload. Now, that might not mean a thing, but seat of the pants tells me this Ford is rated much more conservatively than my other truck.
The EB is really jaw dropping at how easily it tows. With my 4000# trailer there are not many signs that I'm even towing. Other than the mpg's of course. :)
The EB option was only $1100 when I shopped. Not sure how you're coming up with $4000?
Yes, max payload is available without max tow but only with the 5.0. Thats why the ecoboost is $3500 more. It adds max tow and xlt convenience pkg.
