My 2018 F150 has a 2400 lb payload. You put an ARE cap with the cargo rack on it and it will handle you and your family, plus dogs, trailer and boat on top and have a few 100 lbs left in payload. I drove a LOT of trucks before I ordered it. The GMCs and the RAMs were too primitive inside, and I didn't want a gas motor w/o turbos (hate to hear a motor tow at 5000 rpm) and the diesels were too expensive, and too big for a DD.
The F150 was MT Truck of the Year for a reason. The HD version with the 3.5EB and 10 speed is an amazing truck.
