Ordered a 2015 F150 Lariat — almost

Interesting. Where did you hear this? Haven't seen anything over at the F150 forums.
Somewhere in the discussion here: 2015 Order guide link
Page 38 of the guide has some GVWR and payloads.
Then somebody noted that the HD Payload wheel on p 23 has only 6 lugs.
There are no GAWRs in that guide. Just the 9.75" gear set for the HD Payload trucks. Guess we are just assuming that is the 4050# GAWR. Maybe 3500GAWR for non-HD Payload?
EDIT: the 2.7L EB has its own HD Payload package with the 9.75" gear set too. That will be an interesting truck.
