I'm looking for some payload sticker information on a few different trucks. I was wondering if the community could tell me what their stickers say. I' specifically looking for the following:
(all Super Crew 4x4 with Eco boost Please)
Lariat with Max Tow
Lariat with Max Tow & Heavy Duty Tow Package
XTR with Max Tow
XTR with Max Tow & Heavy Duty Tow Package
Please state whether your truck has a 5.5 or 6.5 box.
Your nomenclature is all marketing verbiage which at best is kinda
sorta in a direction of their ratings, but no where near their actual
ratings
What is the GVWR, front GAWR, rear GAWR and the GCWR?
For get about the MTWR, as that is derived from a 'curb' vehicle...which
is the stripper model with no options, other than the tow option and
one 150lb driver. Some full fluids...some half a tank or eve less
Payload/cargo/etc listing on the door labels are also derived from a
'curb' vehicle. This is highly debatable and the only way solve this
is to go out and weigh the vehicle. There has been a few and a couple
have posted to confirm that the label is based on the 'curb' (stripper)
Best to actually weigh it to know what your true payload/cargo/etc is
Saying it is a 'half ton', or whatever is again marketing verbiage
Which half ton? There are three classes within a 'half ton' class A
ditto for 3/4 ton...there are several different GVWR's for that class
and another ditto for 1 ton...there are several GVWR's for that class too
Best to do your research and comparison using all of their 'real' ratings
Here is how the ratings system looks like in graphical form and note
to decide if you believe in the ratings system or not.
If not, then do whatever and know that you have taken them off the
warranty and liability hook.
Also note that advice on these freebie forums is worth the price paid...
plus that they have no skin in the game, nor will they pay for any
outcome from bad advice...
If yes, then learn how the ratings system works
Good luck and ask tons of questions.
