Payload is determined by the class of truck you have.. A 250/2500 truck can really only have a #10,000 GVWR.. Go to the 350/3500 truck and it can go to #11,500 and maybe more if a dually?
Drive train wise, there really is no difference..
Heck, I have a "max tow" F150 with #7700 GVWR... But, for the most part, it's just a GVWR package that gets me #500 more GVWR than a regular tow F150.. No suspension, brake or frame difference... I just pay more for my registration every year compared to a #7200 GVWR F150.
Basically the same thing with the HD trucks too.
Back only a decade or so ago, 25 series trucks only had #8000 GVWR and 35 series had #10,000..
So, it's all relative and what you pay for your trucks registration depending on the state you live in.
Good luck!
