I started looking around yesterday for something to replace me 2012 F350, and looking at the brochures from Ford, the PAYLOAD of a new F350 DRW is 7050# Thats people ,gear and stuff we carry.

The models that have over 7000 lbs payload are usually the gassers with 2wd. Expect that most will be closer to 6000 lbs once you add options.

Look at page 9 of 62 in the PDF linked above.
Pretty much right. My gas, 4wd, DRW, CC, in Lariat trim with a few extra's had a payload rating of 6,200+ pounds.
I would add that the gas engine handles the payload very easily.
