What do y'all think? Thanks!
Without going back and looking at all the postings..... if your F250 has the heavy service pack or camper package it has the same front and rear spring packs as a F350 SRW according to Fleet Ford specs.
No need to write Fords engineers as others have done in the past. The reply from Ford was the clicky to Fleet Ford specs that tells us what Ford engineers say about weights and components that carry weight.....differences and sameness of Ford Super Duty trucks.
It would really help with new folks with a Ford truck weight question if everyone would research those specs from Ford before making comments like we see on every weight thread/F250.
That low payload on the tire placard sticker is based on a GVWR number and a trucks overall dry gross weight as shipped from the factory.
This number like yours can be well below safe/legal actual load carrying capacity on some trucks....and that same gvwr based payload sticker number can be very high and can overload the trucks RAWR number if used as a in the bed payload.
