Payload rating on F-450.
Ok, looked at F-450 Platinum 4wd, with all the bells, and whistles, has the fifthwheel prep pkg. The stamped limit was 4770 lbs for cargo payload carrying capacity. My question is, is that enough for ...

So to add to this conversation I've never seen or heard of one of these failed radiators stranding someone on the road. Perhaps the end result was an assumption, but you cannot connect the dot's to reality. One can safely assume a failed radiator will put your truck in the shop and down time will be the result.
Having said that, this radiator failure point on the driver side crimp on ends appears to be fixed on the 2017 and up trucks.
The only issue I have heard about were due to neglect in correcting the issue and constantly running the coolant too low. I believe this was one of the issues with the cavitation eating away the front cover due to air leading to failures. But this was on the 6.4's, not sure if that was an issue on the 6.7's
The 6.7 never had cavitation problems like the 6.4 did, but there were some early model 6.7's with water pump failures. The 08-16 Super Duty's had radiator failures in the form of seepage on the lower drivers side with the worst failures from the 08-09 model years but the problem still exist to some extent. The 6.4 did have EGR failures that would loose coolant and possibly damage the engine as a result if continued driving, but the EGR cooler on the 6.7 appears to be solid.
