........ What is shown on the sticker is not necessarily accurate and is for a base curb model without any options. For example, upon going to a scale, the payload cap. on our F250 is supposed to be 2701 lbs but is actually 1800 lbs and it's because we have 4WD, 8' box and super cab plus a canopy of about 200 lbs. That's about 900 lbs less than what the sticker on the door pillar says. It is what it is... ..........
As someone who was responsible for that "yellow sticker" for a major manufacturer I can assure you that the "combined weight of occupants and cargo" number shown on it is required by law to be accurate within 1# of the number for your specific truck as built.
It is calculated for EACH truck based on the build configuration, it is NOT a generic number or simply based on a basic truck.
It obviously cannot recognize anything added to the truck after the fact but that label is the most accurate source of payload information for a specific truck other than going to a scale.
If your truck really does only have 1800# of cargo capacity "as built" and the label says 2701# then you need to go after Ford for a corrected label!!
But I suspect you have added 900# along the way.
