My 2004 F-250 Super Cab short bed 4x4 predates the stickers that have the payload capacity listed on them. I weighed it, and it is 6,100 lbs., leaving me 2,700 lbs. of payload to reach my 8,800 lb. GVWR. Ironically, my '77 Chevrolet C-20 pickup has a 2,900 lb. payload capacity. Not being a 4x4 helps some with giving it a higher capacity, along with it having a much lower curb weight. The Scottsdale has a lower tow rating than the Ford, of course. It is a factory Trailering Special (15,000 GCVW), which leaves it with a 10,400 lb. towing capacity, including me and anything else not bolted to the truck. :B
