2015 F150 Payload

I'm not familiar with those tires listed. Are they LTs or Ps?

Is it me, or does that seem low for that new-fangled all-aluminum super truck?

Heck, my '01 half-ton Suburban had a payload around 1550 lbs.

1659# Payload.

:) Hi, this is the sticker for my 2014 F-150. It's a crew cab, 4X4, 5.5' bed, XLT, with an Ecoboost. Mine has LT tires and it shows on the sticker. 2015 F-150's have tires that don't have a "P" or "LT" on them.

4 passengers 600 to 800 , dog 100, full tank of fuel 120, spare tire 100, trailer hitch 100, toolbox and tools 150. Not much left except for a bag of groceries and a pizza. :B

:) Hi, two pictures of a tire and wheel on a 2015 F-150. Note the absence od a "P" or "LT" on the sidewall.

Tires are P rates, based on the 113T listed. 113 is the load category; T is the speed. I'm not aware of any of the half tons offering LT tires for 20" wheels. 18" and smaller LT offerings for half tons, or 20" on 3/4+ tons.

Anyway, that's a good payload for a truck typically found on dealer lots. Ford quickly followed GM from 2014 by bumping the payloads.

1,659 on a short bed 5.0l 4x4 isn't too bad for an F150. My old FX2, 2WD 3.5l EcoBoost short bed w/ MaxTow was 1790.

All those things listed by the OP take payload away from the truck. Crew cab, 4x4, 5.5 bed, 5.0 liter. It's not a serious towing truck. The payload is a lot more than previous model years with the same equipment.

Those tires are P rated tires. You don't get an LT tire on a F-150 from the factory unless you order at least the HD tow package.

:) Hi, this is pretty decent, but we all thought the 2015 would be higher than a 2014. I saw a 2014 Platinum with 1065 lbs payload and the new Dodge Ecodiesel has a pitiful 860 lbs payload on some of their's.


We will have only two normal sized people, a little 20 lb dog, full tank of gas is included, spare tire is included, my hitch is about 75 lbs or less, I carry plenty of tools but nowhere near 150 lbs worth. With a full load and trailer tongue weight, I will have about 400 lbs left. My Lincoln handled all of this, my F-150 should do a lot better.

You have the max towing package, a rare find an adds about 400 pounds of payload over the standard lot truck truck.

It seems Ford removed about 700 pounds compared to a 2014 but also lowered GVWR by about half that. The former 8200 pound GVWR HD payload package with 7 lugs is now 7850 with 6-lugs for 2015.
