Here is my payload I'm calculating. Does anyone see anything I'm missing? Trying to decide if I should order the payload package. I drive 90 miles round trip a day so I need good mileage but also want to tow good.

Me-50 (rated pulls includes 150 driver - I'm 200)
Wife-150
3 Kids-300 (eventually)
Spray Bedliner-100
WDH-100
Trailer hitch weight-715 (11% of 6500 GVRW)
*trailer weight includes sits own 1000 payload

Total - 1415

I plan on getting a lariat with no moonroof 501A. No sport or chrome package. Will my payload be ok without the payload package?

 

Payload on my truck 3.5 ecoboost 2wd as the 4x4 are 200 pounds higher over all but anyway mines just shy of 1900 pounds mine is a supercrew with 302a package has factory spray in bed liner, I couldant be happier with the payload capacity

 

I don't believe payload rating assumes a 150lb driver. The full weight of the driver should be subtracted.

 

Better hope wifey doesn't read this thread...Ya know the penalty for talking about their weight & age!

 

OK? Yes. But, you didn't account for the fishing tackle, horseshoes set, bicycles, firewood, cooler & ice, kid's electronics, grill (if you don't use the RVQue), grey water tote, wife's purse, cornhole game, geocaching swag, antique shop/garden store finds, floor mats, first aid kit, tools and jack for the trailer, art & craft supplies, bushels of apples, basketballs, Frisbees, golf bag and clubs, jars of jelly, bottles of wine, etc., that find their way in the truck cab and bed while travelling. And, the tonneau cover you will eventually want to keep it all dry and safe.

 

Great point! I had a 2010 F150, and always had to load EVERYTHING into the trailer.

Get the payload package, enjoy using the bed of the truck when towing.

 

This will all be part of my 1000 payload on the trailer.

 

Payload assumes 150 pound driver full tank of fuel if u are over its not the end of the world, everyone thanks it is, been pulling the same weights with a 79 van a 95 f150 and a 05 liaret and I can tell u the 05 is way heavier duty in not saying load it 1000-1500 pounds heavier but around 4-500 pound is okay especially if u have the 9.75 rear end

 

Any one have proof that payload includes a 150 lb driver?

 

My understanding is that Payload includes a full tank of gas, but no driver.
