Default Heavy Duty Payload Option

I am having trouble locating a 2013 F150 Ecoboost with both the max tow package and heavy duty payload package. I can locate one with the tow package and 3.73 rear end, but not that also includes the max payload package. Dies anyone have a contact at Ford (Factory Rep) or anyone know if the heavy duty pay road packageeavy-Duty Payload Package (Option Code 627) can be added as an option by a dealer?

Thanks
Harry

Heavy payload package involves 7 lug axles and it has to come from ford like that. Good luck on your search.

If you have time to wait, just order it. I doubt you will find one. If ford stocked them, they would sell the hell out of them.

I ordered a F150 Lariat Eco on 2/23 with the HD payload & Max tow options. It is scheduled to be built on 3/18. Less then 4 weeks from order to build. Besides 7 lug wheels and larger axels you also get the larger rear end at 9.75" compared to 8.8".

Order it exactly the way you want....

^^^ What this guy said. Larger axles & more lugs. Will also have a different spring rate. Way to expensive to consider updating post buy. Order it that way. I'm in negotiations right now for a 2013 that will have to be ordered. Figure if I'm paying this much for a truck I will get exactly what I want. Even if it means my only way to get around for a month or two is my motorcycle.

You won't find a lot truck kitted out like that unless you get lucky and someone bails on an order.

Just order it and salivate and think what an awesome TRUCK it will be when it arrives. Those of us who have been through can help you through the terrible wait. Who am I kidding, no we won't....

8.8" is in the front end, not in the rear...
the 9.75" upgrade is the bearings, possibly spline count(?), and yes the 7lug instead of 6.
