F350 SRW trucks come with a 10000 lb GVWR up to a 11500 lb GVWR.
One new poster had a question about his F350 SRW having a very low payload number. The reason was he had a F350 SRW with a 10k GVWR instead of the higher 11xxx GVWR.
Now my point here is pay close attention to the trucks numbers your buying.
Example from Fleet Ford specs:
'14 F350 SRW 4x4 CC 172.4" 6.7 diesel with a 11200 GVWR has a 3560 lb payload.
'14 F350 SRW 4x4 CC 172.4" 6.7 diesel with a 10000 GVWR has a 2360 lb payload.
The same configured truck in a 10000 GVWR F250 has a 2410 lb payload.
So saying a F350 SRW has more payload potential isn't always true as the poor poster I mentioned above found out. 'Course he was educated about GVWR not determining how much a load a truck can carry.
I've always bought the size truck I wanted and simply matched the weight of the trailer to the truck axle/tire load ratings...... using it as a max load if needed.
