Wow, huge gains on the 5.0 SCrew 4x4, up 1300lb from 2011.

why would you need blindspot indicators on tow mirrors? there are two mirrors to adjust top and bottom that virtually eliminate blind spots.

Virtually? In any event I've now seen pictures of the tow mirrors which should the BLIS indicators on the mirrors. So apparently Ford thought they needed them.

Build and price does not reflect this well. It shows what max payload is, but it only shows tow rating of the standard gears and not the shortest. The scab 4x4 shows 2230 lbs payload, but only 9,100 lbs towing. The 3.73 gears will give you 11000 lbs.

Build and Price payloads are likely wrong too considering it shows same payload for an xlt as it does a platinum. (using same engine/cab/bed)

Default 2014 to 2015 payload improvemnts

These are the build and price payloads of different configurations using the V-8. I do realize that higher trims will lower these values but the DIFFERENCE is the important part.

2014 145" scab - 1830 lbs
2015 145" scab - 2230 lbs ----> 400 lbs better
2014 145" screw - 1700 lbs
2015 145" screw - 2080 lbs ---> 380 lbs better
2014 157" hd - 2330 lbs
2015 157" hd -2660 lbs ---> 330 lbs better

Default Max payload 8 foot bed

Very confusing, how to order a 4x4 Lariat 8 foot bed with maximum payload, and what is the actual payload? Why does it not require the HD payload option to get the higher payload?
