A new XLT crewcab optioned pretty much like my 2013 (4x4, 36 gallon tank, skid plates, some power options but not decadent) had almost 1900 pounds payload, my 2013 has 1319. I wonder if the receiver has a higher rating than the 1050-1130 pounds of the previous trucks (I didn't crawl under and look). If not with these high payloads a fella might tongue out before he payloads out, the way people now often payload out before they pull out.
In any event though I was prepared to buy a new truck it didn't call out to me; it was nice but not a different thing, know what I mean? As I sat in the new truck I thought "Damn, for this money (50K) we should buy a new Boxster, sell the camper and stay in hotels". Or maybe a new Mustang ragtop with the Ecoboost four.
With the MaxTow option, Hitch Receiver rating is up to 1220# (an F250 gasser's is 1250#). And with the HD Payload option you can get even more payload in certain configurations.
But the 2015s are still expensive by my standards. I'm seeing much heavier discounts locally on any left-over 2014s and even on the 2015 Superduties.
