Odd payload numbers on the 2017 F350 DRW vs. 2016 F350 DRW

I'm sure this has been covered but it's a nice bump up in payload. Good to see the military grade aluminum (whatever that means) is giving us more carrying capacity :)

    There are some things I really like about the new Fords, like that the fuel tanks are going to be 66 gals.
    The increased height, not so much.

    If it is Military Grade, Ford should be able to provide the buyer a copy of the Specs on the Aluminum. I wonder what their response would bed if they were ask to provide the Spec Sheet.

    Body gets lighter so of course load capacity goes up.

    It's all good.....until you need some body work done.
