Tell you what you need to do is learn some reading comprehension. The post was not about 150 capabilities but about how shocked I was with a 1450# payload on a 2500 Cummins. Previously had a GMC 2500 that rusted out underneath. Got the 150 because DW had 2 spinal surgeries and was in line for a third and the ride was much better than a 250 and she was more comfortable driving it and accessing it. It does the job with our 7700# TT within all ratings and while I would have gotten at least a Heavy Duty it did not fit our current situation.

Maybe you need to reread your post, as you compare the payloads to your F150.
That said 250/2500 can have very low listed payloads as they are far heaver and stoutly built than your F150. In reality they are 350/3500's with a GVWR limit of 10,000#.
If you looked at any brand 250/2500 loaded TV the payload would be equally low!
That is why we all state of buying new and there is t a huge registration hit get the 350/3500, so the numbers look better as the are basicly the same truck.
