Payload rating on F-450.

Ok, looked at F-450 Platinum 4wd, with all the bells, and whistles, has the fifthwheel prep pkg. The stamped limit was 4770 lbs for cargo payload carrying capacity. My question is, is that enough for a 3700 pound hitch weight toyhauler. Did Ford factor in the fifthwheel hitch already in this figure? Anyone with F-450's pulling large heavy toyhaulers please chime in.

    Not sure what you are asking but a hitch weighs about 150-200#
    Yes, thats exactly what I was asking. I was thinking probably a couple hundred, depending on the hitch.

    No the hitch is not included in that number nor is the weights of the passengers, misc cargo or anything else. You may need a MDT
