Current F150s have a higher payload than some of their competition because of the aluminum bodies. They lightened up the trucks with the aluminum by 600 lbs or so which directly related to the higher payloads. An often overlooked advantage to lightening up the trucks.

NOT true. Previous years F150 models, without the aluminum, still had better payloads than the competition. I know beci spent 2 years shopping all the 1/2 ton brands. My 2014 F150 Ecoboost SCREW with Max Tow package but not the HD Payload package, has a payload of 1828lbs.
I never saw a used crew cab 1/2 ton from any other brand with that kind of payload.
