this is off the 2020 ford f150 site.
Maximum payload 3270 lbs with the 5.oh
further down in doc it showed the f150 with a truck camper loaded.
Most folks know this but for those that don't.......The 3270 lb payload on the F150 is another folly of using a gvwr based payload then think it all can be placed in the bed over the trucks rear axle.
Many F150 owners report a 2200-2400 lb rear axle weight (4800 rawr) for their trucks. Now add 3270 lbs in the bed as a truck camper = 5400-5600 lbs for a 600-800 lb overload.
If the F150 had the big overhead rack that sat on the trucks front frame rails and back of the trucks bed/frame then a 3.2k payload is possible.
This point was brought up by F50HDPP owners who bothered to weigh their trucks axles before and after and then posting their findings.
