I think we need a separate topic selection just for F150's:)

LOL.
The Ecoboost F150 HD with the 8200 GVWR and 4800 RAWR package and E tires and wheels with a 10k-11k tow rating and payloads up to 3000 lbs depending on cab selection is hands down the current top of the heap in the 1/2 ton catagory so sure some folks just don't get it. Their still hung up on the older std duty F150 specs like a 6600-7000 GVWR with 3600-3900 RAWR and 1500 lb payloads with P tires and.

IMO one of the most ignorant comment on the planet is "a F150 is just a grocery getter and shouldn't pull a 5th wheel trailer".

The F150 is what it is and that is a very capable tow vehicle ..... for the size trailer its rated to pull or loads it can carry.

I would agree with you whole hardly, BUT that package is still a small percentage of all F150's, that and you need a masters degree in configuring a F150 it has 20 different GVWR from 6,400# to 8,200#, AND 23 GCVWR between 10,400# and 17,100#, with all three of those axles ratings. There is also multiple tow ratings between 5,500# to 11,300. Most are still ordered with Max tow rating, but not Max payload. It would be interesting in seeing the sales figures by payload for the F150.
