The longer length and 4x4 takes a toll on the cargo capacity.
And you don't have the Al body.
GVWR lowered to 7800 on Al body trucks.
True, but that's only a 400# reduction in GVWR from the old 8200#.
And they're claiming a 700# weight reduction with the Al body, for SCrew trucks anyway. So maybe a 300# payload improvement for SCrew in 2015 and above?
700 lbs is the best case scenario, kind of like the brochure payload which never happens. Probably on the 8 foot regular cab. I'm sure most trucks aren't seeing a 700 lb reduction. Everyone expected higher Ford payloads with the lighter trucks, but the lowering of the GVWR's pretty much took care of that. I would guess maybe a hundred higher on average.
Man, talk about a jaded group on here. Many probably won't believe this photo either, but I'll post it anyway.
The reality is the truck that saw the most benefit from aluminum also happens to be the most popular, the crew cab..
I crunched the numbers for everyone between this 2014 steel and 2015 aluminum body, 732 lbs. less.
