Not too bad specs for a "half ton"..
This is the door jamb stickers for the new F150... My Dad's 1971 F250 only has a GVWR of #6900! How's that for changing times! :) Mitch

Blt2ski, I guess my point is that if that truck is an EB with the Aluminum 3.5 engine doubt that as it rolls off the line it is close to 3,750# on the front axle. I have an iron Cummins on a 5,200# axle and only run the front at about 4,700# to 4,800# with a Dana 60 front axle (I carry a lot of iron up front). unless they can get at least 3,650# on the front axle, they can't use the full 7,700# of GVWR without exceeding the GVWR!
I came awfully close on a 2010 F150 5.4. 7650 GVW, 4050 RAWR. Loaded up I was at 7600 GVW and 4000 RAWR. I'm sure the 5.4 was the clincher.
