Using this formula, my 2013 F150 Lariat SCrew 4x4 6.5', 373, Max Tow & HD Payload, Bucket seats w/heat/cool and pass thru console & factory spray in liner (no Sunroof, Nav) would have a payload of 2,812. frt-4050 rear 4800 = 8850 minus actual weight of my truck 6,038 = 2,812.

My door sticker says payload 2,162, subtract this from my GVW 8200 gives me a truck weight of 6,038. I would get an additional 650lb payload increase if I used the above formula.

I wish I had an extra 650lbs of payload.
